The Christmas Present

Well, I'm feeling kinda bored and also in a Chrismassy mood. The result, this contest.

I'm basically going for the goodwill to all men thing here and just gonna hand out awards to stories that I like.

Pre-writes are definately allowed but bonus mince pies to people who bother to write a new story.

The points and prizes may go up if I am very impressed.

And because it's Christmas this contest has NO RULES! (don't make me regret it.) except please don't enter anything in a category that I won't be able to read.

OK that's about it, I'm looking forward to all of your entries and I PROMISE to comment on every one.


Good Luck and I hope you enter.

  I guess you think that you are one of the liars. Most young people do. Self-pity seems to be quite fashionable these days.
