Discussion for the May 2023 writing contests.

[Rubber Soul]

Please, any comments about this month's contest should go here so the main contest entries aren't buried. Thanks

[Rubber Soul]

Nothing buried so far. Don't forget to get your pens out. I'm still playing judge and jury you know

[Trollheart]

Mine is done, has been for about two weeks but I never got to send it. Do you want me to PM it and in what format?

[Rubber Soul]

PM it to me in Word format. That way, I can keep you anonymous.

[Trollheart]

Don't got Word. Is Open Office ok?

[Rubber Soul]

You should be able to. If not, then I guess you'll have to post it directly.

[Trollheart]

Okay I've converted it but how do I attach it to a PM? Can't see any option.

[Rubber Soul]

You might have to ask Tore about that one.

[SGR]

Just wanted to let you all know I'm bowing out of this one. I'm too busy at the moment. Wish you all the best of luck though!

[Lexi Darling]

I also sadly have to miss this month, I've been a bit swamped with my increased responsibilities in my job and home life. Have fun, everyone!

[Trollheart]

I think it's just me at this stage, and there's no point sending one story. Do you want to hold it over to June, or wait to see if anyone else takes part? At this stage I doubt the latter is likely.

[robhr]

I'm gonna take this one off too, even though it was my theme.

[Rubber Soul]

Yeah, I think I'm going to put this on hiatus until people become interested again. I still have to worry about my health anyway.

[robhr]

Are we going to do this one again? With the theme of "loss?" I have a good one planned that may actually make it into my portfolio. It isn't as deeply dark as my last one but still very unsettling.

I'll be honest my last one was just two of my other stories patched together and rewritten. A solipsism one and a hallucinatory haunted one.
