Competition: Variations on a theme 8 (Flashfiction)

Version 8 of our VOAT competition will be running tomorrow, 16th February 2011. The format of this is a little different than usual and will follow the same rules as Version 3.5.

Each contestant will be given one hour to write a story (approx 500 words) based on a brief outline.

The contest will run over the course of the day, from 7 a.m. to midnight.

To enter the contest, either post on here or send me a PM indicating the time you'd like to start writing. Once you receive the outline, you will have 60 minutes to complete the story and PM it to me.

As the day goes on, writers who have finished the story will be able to send the PM of the outline when I'm not around, so keep an eye on the thread to see who's finished and if I don't get back to you straight away try PMing them. Also, Leafonthewind, who will not be entering, has kindly offered to send the PM to anyone who requests it after 6 p.m.

Once you have been given the outline, I (or the person who sent you the PM) will update this thread with your name and start/finish time.

I generally tend to be AFK completely from 12-1 p.m., from 5 to 6 p.m. and only sporadically from 6 to 10 p.m. so if at all possible try aim for an earlier time slot or CC your PM to other contestants if entering later.
