LMM, you might want to add...if you plagiarize, someone here WILL catch it. It must be your work.
Think you should enter that contest.
Do you remember a Clint Eastwood movie, Beguiled? I'm reminded of that.

I have plenty of my own ideas..don't have to google someone else's or conjure up any dead folks that can't defend they own good names.

Good point. Only original UNPUBLISHED work will be considered. No going back 10 years ago to get something.
LMM, realize you were in over your head in the Politics forum?
So, what's the topic? What are we writing about?

Nice try, I posted here a lot too before it had its own category.
As for the topic, we need Mr Fat. I will pm him.
Two judges and impartiality who be helpful.

DF is to prejudiced
No, my dear, all the forum can vote.
As usual, you want your cronies to be in charge...no thanks! Has to be impartial or I'm out! Think you can't win on your own merit?
Ladies, poll vote or no contest.

Deep Fat picks the topic, all members vote. You will have one week to turn in the finished product. Votes will be anonymous on a poll. OK?
Great! But watch out, Monet. I have an editor.
So, you're saying you have to have help??
Going to Ellora to write it for you? What a cheater!
I appreciate your confidence.
I will suggest a topic about which to write, and publish it tomorrow. It will be fair.

In other words, you will cheat in any way possible to win...
Submissions should be anonymous, that way there'll be no favoritism shown, and it will be judged on its merit alone.

yeah, right
I'm just saying I'm a professional. I do this for a living.
Deep Fat, pm the topic. Give me a deadline.
Send me the rules. I'm accustomed to writing by the submission guidelines.

Er, you guys do understand what a poll is, right? You would be posting your story yourself, here for all to see. TD forum polls will only let you vote one time.
Monet, I've done some ghostwriting before. I think I can ace this.

You have no confidence in your own's ability?
OK, since Mr. Fat has contacted us, your deadline will be Sunday September 28 at 5pm CT. Do not put them up before that as each one should be posted at about the same time. Comments on line are permitted but only the poll votes will count. I will put the poll up on Sunday also.
Good luck to both and may the best writer win!

the topic has to be something besides romance and ghosts...a new genre

AH, didn't think of that. How will that be accomplished?

Yep - and polls go by IP address, not various nicks.

For 500 words? I can have that by Monday!

I think the contest is between UC and Monette. Are you wanting to enter as well?

Ezduzzit, DF chooses.
If you want anonymous submission, each of you pm them to me and I will post both stories under my name labeled one and two.

LOL LMM, I'm not scared. I'll post it under my own name. Besides, nothing is to stop others from private messaging who wrote what. Throw it all out on the table.
quote:Originally posted by Monette:

A professional can write about any topic.
Sure do. Although, I'm certain I wouldn't win, going up aganist the likes of Monet. Maybe I'll just edit for her if she asks me to.
If three want to enter same rules. A 500 limit seemed reasonable. If the two or three of you wish it longer, it can be changed.
The two contestants go to their corners...Monet in the purple trunks with matching gloves, dances around the ring, stabbing at the air..her nostrils flair, she tosses her hair in reckless abandon...she is ready.
Under Contract, in the black trunks..because black is her best color...snarls as she tugs at the rings. Her chance has finally arrived...it is her day, to finally face of with her arch rival, the beautiful, lovely and talented Monette. What will be the outcome? The forum awaits with tensed fingers at the keys of their pc's...who will they vote for...only the Shadow knows!!! wuuuhahahahha

I got a step on guide tour job tomorrow so I've got to turn in. Y'all post the topic and I'll get on it.
Monet, may God have mercy on your soul.
Good night, all!
