  • Contest - December Satire - Ah, December, season of joy and giving, season of bells-a-ringing, of snow softly falling… Ha! December! Season of mobs and trampling, season of prices-a-rising, of cold and shovelling! Aren’t you tired of warm and fuzzy Christmas stories? Let’s make this month’s contest a tribute to the decline of real, heart-felt Season’s Greetings. Get cynical, it’s ok! Get it all out now, so you can enjoy a relaxed, fun, and warm holiday season. Let’s make this interesting: Special Tags + : Your story MUST INCLUDE a palm tree and a cowboy hat.

  • Contest - February, Short and Tricky -
    February. Always apart because it’s short, sometimes interesting because it’s tricky.
    Every 4 years, February balances out the Universe with its 29th day. And even then, it doens’t measure up to the shortest of the other months.
    Make February special. Make it so that it’s not because it’s short that it can’t be great. Write up a Frebruary Napoleonesque tale! Open subject other than you must take something seemingly small and make it BIG. Literally or metaphorically.
    Special Tags:
    Tags + : Your story MUST include the numbers 28 and 29.
    Tags - : Your story MAY NOT include any reference to leap years.
