I'm interested, but I have a question or two (sorry if these have been answered already!):
1) How long would we get to enter our submissions for each prompt?
2) And how long would the entry be expected to be?
If this was the summer it wouldn't be a problem - I get a good 2-3 months off - but winter/spring is busy

It's fine hun :]
[1] I was planning on giving a month or so for each prompt. I can extended and cut-short, all depending on the amount of time the contestants need. But, with roughly about 25 (hopefully) entries I was planning on starting it at roughly a month each.
[2] It can be as long or as short as you'd like it. Though, if it's only 300-400 words I'm not sure how well you'll do in the contest. They'd have to be some pretty powerful words. But that doesn't mean that you will automatically be eliminated either. Who knows, enough people could like it :] I've seen some really short, really good stories. But if you're worried about it being too long, I honestly have no maximum requirements. You have free reign to make the story yours, the only limitations I'll be putting on it is the prompt.
And it's okay honey :] You can enter, and if ever you find yourself in need of a little more time or something, just talk to me and I'll see what I can do. I've a very flexible person, I promise.
That's great, thanks
biggrin
Generous time limits and unlimited word-counts...I'm liking this more and more....

✐ A little on who I am: I'm a slightly insane English girl who has been described (rather accurately by a visiting maths lecturer) as "a loner who's away with the fairies". I'm currently studying Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Politics at Sixth Form in a view to doing microbiology at uni and have been told by quite a few confused people that I should've done English. I wish I had, but I can't swap out Maths for English

I write mostly odd bits of fantasy, but I can do romance, action, historical and some others too. I have never tried sci-fi or horror and I'm terrible at comedy (but I'll give it a go). I have been told by various people that my writing reminds them of various authors, some good and some bad. My writing got a little darker last year after one
particular comment I was insulted by - my friend didn't mean it as an insult, I just hate said author.
I'm also a gamer. I'm an ex-WoW player and I love pretty much anything from Little Big Planet to Dead Space. I dislike CoD (and most shooters...). I used to play keyboard, but then my tutoring stopped and I forgot how to play. I'm not good with sport, but I love long walks - I do around 7.5 miles most days. I also enjoy cooking - especially with chocolate and alcohol - and oddly enough I don't mind washing up.
Despite my comment about cooking with alcohol, I'm not actually eighteen yet, but that's fine because in England you're allowed to drink - with parents' permission - from the age of five. I'm just glad I'll be able to start driving lessons in 7 months time.
I've gone on too long. Well... that's me...
