What would everyone think of a parallel competition? Two simultaneous competitions with the same parameters/rules except one would be micro-fiction and one would be poetry; and you could enter both (with different pieces) or just one.
You can't get there from here, because when you get there you're still here and here is now there.

Ah, I'd forgotten 2014's Christmas drabble...

I was thinking more of unlinked words such as 'Bucket, eggplant, crosswords, sliced bread and Wellington boots.' Composing a story containing all of those elements would be an interesting exercise, perhaps?


Sounds like elementary school all over again.

Cough cough

A teenage girl ran with a slice of bread in her mouth because she was already late for school. With every step she made, her Wellington boots stepped into a puddle of water slowly ruining it.... Yea thats all I got lol

Initially I thought 'nah'. However thinking more about it, it sounds like a fabulous challenge - but with the stipulation you HAVE TO enter both categories (but with separate winners in each)! THAT would be a challenge to test the very best and most creative writers amongst our little community. I'm up for it...

Yes it is possible, but not assured. I expect May is the earliest possible for any compettition.
