    Default Writing competition?

    I put this hear becuase it is kinda more than just a member award...

    Okay seeing as we have are having our awards why dont we have a writing competiion, and then have the award best writer?

    The top five or so could be pick by a willing neutral party, and then the top fives writers go into the vote?

    Yeh, nah, maybe?

    I'd sign up. We did something like this awhile back, and Justinian won. I want revenge.

    We could split it up with enough Participation. Biography, Fiction, Historical Fiction, Sci-fi etc.

    Are you kidding? It was 104 paragraphs, nearly 3,000 words...

    I'd be willing to be a judge for this or something.

    I'm in, but it would also depend on what we are suppose to write about...

    IT depends on what we are writing..i mean, if its anything im good at then i would gladly write a short story or essay......hell i could kill two birds with one stone and write a thousand words on the differance between Radio Drama and Radio Soaps and submit it here and at college

    Edit: im working on a short story of sorts, its not historical though.....reckon i could use it?
