*shifts eyes to each side*
Something fishy's on Storywrite. And I'm pretty sure that it's not just me. Have you ever typed a story perfectly, only to go back and see a glaring typo? Especially one that was potentially hilarious?
Here's an example of a story I typed about a chambermaid tying the corset of her mistress--
'"Cinch!" and suddenly all the air flew out of my chest.'
And then I go back and read the story, and it read--
'"Cinch!" and suddenly all the hair flew out of my chest.'
A much more humorous story, but NOT what I typed. My theory is that the moderators are secretly going around, switching letters, adding typos, and just generally causing a ruckus on SW. And this has most definitely happened on other stories of mine. Am I the only one? Or have some of you out there noticed strange activities?
Enter this contest with A) your previous experiences,
a good conspiracy/mystery about the circumstances, or C) why Storywrite might possibly be run by a secret organization (take your pick-- CIA, KGB, Masons, Cubans, UFOs, IBS, 4H)
have fun! =D
---rules---
1. not too long, okay? I don't have much time for stuff over 2500 words.
2. don't enter your fantasy vampire stories and say that it's applicable mystery. it's not.
3. just be smart about it. this contest will be won by the most clever or funniest entry.

'"Cinch!" and suddenly all the hair flew out of my chest.
"Hot damn! He was right, that stuff does put hair's on your chest..."'
Sorry, couldn't help it.
Fun sounding contest. I know how you feel. >.< Though, they usually work out better for me, what with being a comedy writer and all.

LOL!! This sounds hilarious! I'll see if my muse agrees...
-
OMG.
This is the perfect contest for me.
Thank you, so much.
-hugs and runs away to type up story- -
Oh wow, I just realized one of my stories might be perfect for this.
hope Origin works for you.

"Cinch!" and suddenly all the hair flew out of my chest.
That's hilarious. I was just writing a term paper for college and I was writing something about violence in TV shows and its correlation with violent crime rates. When I went back to proof read the paper it read "TV shoes."
Go figure. It happens to the best of us.
