Theme - "The End"
Word Limit -1,000
All submissions that will be counted in the voting process should be in by Wednesday 4/23/2008 by 11:59 PM PST.
The voting will then begin on Thursday 4/24/2008 at 12:00 am PST and go until Saturday 4/26/2008 11:59 pm PST
Previous Challenges:
#1 - "The Things Unseen"
#2 - "An Unlikely Pair"
#3 - "weightless, breathless"
#4 - "On the way"
Basic things to remember:
1) There are many ways to interpret the theme for this assignment, we are all writers or wanna-be writers, so keep that in mind when writing and critiquing others' works.
2) Spelling and Grammatical errors can be used to great effect when the story, characters, and setting demand it. However, proofreading and spell-checking your writing will probably result in a more positive attitude towards it when people are voting.
3) All submissions must be written during the time that the thread began until the due date. We don't want a snippet of your doctoral thesis from 1996 being used here.
4) Only one entry per poster. You can submit and then edit, if you'd like, but finalizing before submitting is highly encouraged.
5) Any writing style is welcome, but remember that most people are probably going to vote for the well written short story over an elementary acrostic poem.
6) There is a handy word count checker at www.wordcounttool.com Nobody wants to be a word count nazi, but please keep it under 1000 words.
7) Thousands of people read GAF, so if you don't want some masterpiece of yours to be stolen and seen in Hollywood a year from now, don't post it on here.
8) Using the topic as the title of your piece is highly discouraged. These challenges get a large number of submissions and if entries share the same titles, it's very difficult for the readers to separate them all out come voting time.
Voting Guidelines:
-Anyone can vote, even those that do not submit a piece during the thread.
-Three votes per voter. Please denote in your voting your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place votes.
-First place votes count as 3, Second Place votes count as 2, and Third Place as 1 point.
-When voting period ends, votes will be tallied and the winner will get a collective pat on the back and will be in charge of picking a new topic to write about and pick the word length.
-Please read all submissions before voting, it is only fair to those who put in the effort.
-You must vote in order to be eligible to win the challenge.
Have fun!
