So here's what I want.
ONE LINE.
I want you to promote your stories. I want you to give me one line, either talking about your story, or a captivating line from your story. In the author notes I want the title of the story, in case I choose to read yours.
Maybe what I just said is unclear. So here's an example.
(I don't have this story up yet by the way, so don't bother looking.
A smash, a car alarm and footsteps sounded all around me as the boy came running out of the darkness.
Author notes:
My story is called "Blue."
There you go. Simple enough?
One prize.
Gold.
No prewrites allowed, but feel free to promote you prewrites.
Enter as many times as you like.
Contest will be open for a while.
Remember, ONE LINE.
Any questions, IM me or comment here.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 30, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 100
- Final notes: When I started this contest I was thinking "One prize. Just gold."
And though I stuck to that rule I was torn between the top two stories in the finalist list. However I've decided "Broken" has won, and I'm looking forward to reading some of your stories.
Keep it up and keep entering the contests!

QUESTIONS
One line...does that mean one sentence?
Does the extract have to come from a story already posted on SW?
Thanks
J.P. Troy -

One Sentence to One Paragraph. No more than a couple lines please.
And it can come from a SW story or one that you haven't yet posted. Just get me wanting to read more.(: -
