Awesome! So, are only traditional "stories" allowed, or could I enter, say, a script that tells a story?

Pretty much no restrictions. As long as it tells a story and is made up of words...you can enter it.

I suggest giving a bit more explanation here about what it is, Matthew, so that people will actually want to go to the link. :)

I'm not very good at humor :( but I remember when I entered my English O level and I wrote my essay, that was so funny I was laughing in the exam! I got an A and I've always wondered if the examiner was laughing whilst he was reading it! It was so hilarious! I'll definitely consider entering Matthew but if I can't think of anything humorous I'll opt out hehe!

I would enter, but humor writing isn't one of my strong points. :roll: I hope you get enough entries, though!

Ok, so I wrote a short story for the humour comp, and upon giving it to my sister to read, it didn't raise a laugh, so I guess that's a fail for the comp. :(

*Pats on back* It's okay, Bushmaid. I don't have wit when I try, so I couldn't even enter. :D We still love you!

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
