Short Story Contest #4

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

Hey, since the Story Contest #3 is over, I thought it might be fun to have another one. So this story will be short, only a couple pages, and written for this story. You can't use one of your earlier works for this. And the story has to be based off the color white. I know it sounds a little hard, but you can write anything thing as long as white is in there, person in a pycho ward, blind person who can only see white, first snowfall, etc. So have fun, and I'll figure out the deadline later.

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

and if you think that idea is super hard, dumb or impossible its ok, I can change it to something else.

[Della]

count me in! :)

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

you can do the symbolism or the actual thing or anything else you want, white just has to be a major part of the story

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

[Mallory]

'Twould be very nice; I haven't started yet for the same reasons.

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

yes i agree would should push the date back. another 2 weeks?

[Mallory]

That'd be great :)

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

[Leah]

Sounds fun. I may join in. ^^

[Leah]

Lol. ;)

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

haha. good luck all! let the extension to the 1st of november officially commence!

[Mallory]

Oooooh - the first of November? I might actually be able to get something in, in that case ;)

[Kaitie♥]

Hi guys :) I'm back! I am SO sorry I was gone for so long :( HOmework has been really hectic. Are we doing another writing contest? :)

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

or we can eat large yellow canaries

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

thats boring

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

Hmmm... perhaps we can do both, especially if we're all cats...
*comes back from random tangent*
Seriously, we have to extend the deadline. I'm sorry i haven't personally submitted, I have been incredibly busy. How about we extend the deadline a month, and Sarah, would you mind sending out a moderator message about it? I can't stay on long...

[Mallory]

Yeah - school's been crazy, and I haven't had a whole ton of consecutive down time.

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

yeah same... thanksgiving break is soon, and people will have time then... but for me, break starts in 10 days... idk... what does the other mod think? :P

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

lol. Sounds good to me- since "the other mod" hasn't responded, I'll send out a message about it.

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

or u talking about me? if u r, i wake up at 6 everyday! and if ur not, natasha its kinda creepy/stalkerish that u know what time she wakes up at.

srry i havent responded, ive been super buzy w/hw and plays

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

i wake up at 6, its bloody awful, especially on weekends. and no thx, i'll just keep flying monkey

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

haha. anyway, its fine u didnt respond, i just needed to send out a message asap. anyway, at least one person responded, so hopefully we'll get more activity even if not more story writing...

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

of course lol. i'll try to get the time together to write, if i can, also.

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

well this isn't working. Maybe we should just delay this untill forever and do another contest that would be quicker to write, like poetry or something

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

This is definitely not working. I feel bad, but I don't even have a moment to write lately... teachers seem to want to cram as much homework and as many tests as possible into each week without making us all explode

[Mallory]

I know what you mean. My Christmas break is coming up really soon - like, four days. Maybe I'll get some writing in then. I just got an idea for this one thinking about that - so I'll try and get one done within the next week or so.

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

Sounds great! If we could get just one or 2 more submissions we could close this contest. Please anyone who can try to sneak some writing into your schedule!

[Mallory]

Ahkay. Well, I've been working on it for the past few days. I've nearly got a page xP. I should post it up pretty soon. I just have to work in the symbolism and wrap it up.

[Olivia, everything in moderation :P]

That would be amazing Mallie, thanks!

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

Sorry, didn't catch that. Do you want some water?

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

Minnesooota doesn't have water, they have pop.

[Sarah, The Flying Monkey]

I'm just telling you that they don't have water, however they do have pop if you want that instead
