The first Twisted Tales competition is under way!

We are looking for twisted stories of between 150 and 1500 words which include the phrase “like we did last summer” somewhere in the story. The stories can be in any genre but, as with the group ethos, have a sting/twist in the tail. The closing date is now extended to 30 April 2008 and the winning entry, as awarded by an independent judge (to be announced), will receive a £25 Amazon gift voucher.

The terms and conditions for entries are as follows:

1. Only one entry per person.
2. All stories must be between 150 and 1500 words long.
3. All stories must have a title (not included in the word count).
4. The stories must include the phrase ‘like we did last summer’ in the story.
5. Any genre is allowed but there must be a twist in the story.
6. Please tag your story “TTC1” – without this the story will not be considered for this competition
7. Please provide a link to your story in this thread – without doing so the story will not be considered for this competition
8. All stories/links will only be accepted up to 23:59 GMT on 30 April.
9. The winner will be notified by 7 May.
10. The judge’s decision is final.

Most importantly – have fun and make sure it’s twisted!

I’m already looking forward to it Damian! :)

Ok, here you go:

Night-Shift

Gordon and Ryan – thanks guys! The competition is well and truly under way! (And thanks Ryan for cutting the word count down! Always a useful exercise for when submitting to paying markets!)

Black Ice

Haha, I had to pull the other story because there is no way I could add “Like we did last summer to it” SO I wrote this, instead!
That ok?

[I have like we did last summer now, thanks for the heads up DBA]

Thanks for hosting these competitions, DBA.

Just been reading through everybody’s work – all great stuff and stiff competition. Whoever wins this will know they have earned it! (gulp)

That’s more than enough! Just curious.
