Hello one, hello all! Merry Saint Patrick's Day, or whatever. MGB here once again with another writing contest!
This one is a bit different than ones I've done in the past. In this contest, you will be writing a bit of flash fiction. What is flash fiction, you may ask? Flash fiction is a style of fictional literature or fiction of extreme brevity.
Simple, right?
Have some rules!

jrake86March 26: "Alrighty, deadline just passed yesterday, now we settle in for the long wait."
March 27: *Whistles nonchalantly*
March 28: *Begins to whistle slightly louder by the hour*
March 29: *Coughs loudly*
March 30: *Taps foot insistently*
March 31: *Does all of the above three at the same time*
April 1: "Was this all a prank?"
April 2: (Hopefully) "Yay! The judgments re in!"
Yeah, my thoughts exactly. But MGB_ hasn't been on for a while (noticably, at least) so maybe he has something big going on.

I was going to enter but my browser crashed everytime I tried to post it

You need a new computer...maybe just better internet.

Hey guys, I apologize. I've been really busy with academic competitions lately, I'll get to judging right away.
Edit: My portion of the judging is now complete. Just waiting on MGB.

Woo. Let's hope it doesn't take more than a day or two.
1
so...
1
I do hope the judging will go somewhat quickly, as I can't wait to lose.
1
Yeah... Will he list each person's entry and the place it recieved? Just so I know exactly how horribly I lost.
1
Cant wait to see who won some how i gathered the courage to enter...

It'll all come down to luck in the end...

Not really, MGB and Chron know their stuff

[quote="Zatharel"][quote="Pikamoar"]I literally had a dream last night that I won this... too bad it'll never happen in real life.
[i]sigh[/i][/quote]
[s]You did pretty good tbh, but I'm thinking Tech gets first place this time though [/quote]
I'm thinking that too. The one you wrote [i]is[/i] quite well done.

Your entry is pretty good. Who knows, you might place in the top 3 at least.

I had a similar dream that Chron posted another writing competition D:

I once had a dream I'd become a forum mod in November 2013..Oh wait
Joking, don't worry.
You did pretty good tbh, but I'm thinking Tech gets first place this time though

Thanks, I haven't had first place for a few months though. I am, however, willing to give away one of the games I choose to the fourth in place for the fairness.
Three games is too much for me D:
Everyone did a pretty good job on this contest, heck it was pretty tough if you think about it. I hope to see more contests like this in the future!

Can I post two entries?
1
In this contest and pretty much every other contest you can't. Even if you do it doesn't increase your chance of winning.

Alrighty, Entered cuz I was bored. Hopefully it constitutes as something in the theme of "Luck."

I don't think I shall enter after all. Suffering from writer's block sucks.

That's me when I'm skinning all the time

Artist's block is only worse if you're an artist

Tech Zero: Which means I am
(Check out my profile for proof)

Artist's block is super sucky. I suffer from it's heavy burden more often than not.
But good job to those that entered and good luck! ;]

ZatharelEntry is done, will update this post with a link later today. I didn't time myself, because it takes me an hour (at best) to write <500 words perfectly the way I want them.
Exactly what I've done!
