Ah, well, expect something from me soon!
(Soon may actually mean in a while )

Are there any word-limits on the 'shortness' of the story?

Count me in! I love writing and I have been looking for something like this too see what others think of my stories.

I am so in.

Nevermind, I sadly am not going to be able to participate.
jk

btw deathtomb, should the story follow the PG 13 rules of EMC?

none

was counting on that

yes ill go ahead and add that in

lool if you didn't see this thread (even though its on the front page) i was going to pm you :3

Ill enter. What is the length requirement?

Before I enter. Can I use a character that was banned?
Edit: before anyone says stupid stuff to me if I win which I expect my money is never to be used for fun and to support my struggling res

I know you're joking, but I'll say this to everyone in perfect seriousness:
If the thought of entering my writing intimidates or discourages anyone else from participating, I will gladly withhold from doing so.
Anyone who's spoken with me knows, I encourage people to write for themselves, and I'm always eager to see others' works. I would love to see this contest bring a whole slew of new EMC authors out of hiding (and hell maybe give my bookstore some friendly competition)! I want to see a lot of people enter this - maybe even more than Deathtomb does - and have their work recognized.

And, so should you, everybody has an equal chance, and should not feel discouraged.

great I am attempting this good luck and all and thanks deathtomb

yes provided the story line follows EMC rules

Yes i encourage every one to enter, and wont exclude anyone for any reason.

I will make a story that might or might not contain or be about a certain fruit.

Sweet-sleet of super silly... Ok I give up on alliteration, but anyways Sweet!

as long or as short as you like provided you can meet the requirments
