Greetings one and all. As the title suggests, this is a writing competition. How will it work? Well, this coming sunday at 6:00 PM GMT (England time) I will start the clock. Everyone will then have an hour and fifteen minutes to write to the best of their ability. How will I prevent cheaters? While I hope nobody would stoop to that level, for the sake of fairness I will not reveal the criteria of the competition until it opens. You can use as much of your time to plan and write your piece as you wish. It MUST be submitted before 7:15 PM that day, or it will not count. (I may allow a minute or so over in case someone just happens to have a delay with posting or wants to write up to the last second) Then, the winner shall be decided by an open vote by the site's members. What will the winners get? Bragging rights, mostly. This is a site for writing after all, so it's a bit of fun competition doing what we all love. If you wish to take part, then you need to register interest below. Hopefully this goes well - if it does, then I will host more in the future.

Then, the winner shall be decided by an open vote by the site's members. Suggestion: Every submission should first be submitted to you who will then post it here without the name of the author...it will prevent any favoritism from swaying how voting is done. Of course that would mean every piece would need a title or something. Probably going to toss my hat in BTW.

Sounds good, sadly I can't join as much as I'd like to as I'll be in Spain and internetless unless the hotel has free wifi I agree with Warorks suggestion, would make it fairer and hopefully people won't stoop to PMing others or similar to get people to vote
