an old man walks in, leaning heavily on his cane. he takes an old gaunlet from from his coat. he holds it momentarily at arms length. his arm quivers with the effort. he drops it. it hits the floor with a clatter and rolls slightly. the inlays of gold and platinum can be faintly seen in the dark iron.
"all you who tell us stories," he says. "i lay this challenge at your feet. tell us your best, we the people will decide the rest."
he turns around, and leaves.
been thinking we've been needing to have another one of these. theme this round may be a bit tricky. "introduce planeshift"
the guidelines:
1. roughly 20,000 words max. can be much less, but not to much more.
2. ps settings. given the topic you get 2000 words outside of the ps setting to set things up if you have to.
3. postmarked no later then midnight (local time) october 31, 2007
4. one entry per person, if you come up with a better one the previous entry can be withdrawn.
5. original works only. no rehashes of previously posted works. to keep things even.
6. a) submit works to steuben viscosa (steuben.viscosa@sympatico.ca) with "ps open challenge" in the subject line
b) include title, and forum name.
7. it should be able to get a pg rating. no foul language, no sex, no nudity, pre-9 pm prime time kind of stuff.
8. no prizes. fame and glory to the best three. just fame to everybody else.
9. selection will be done by popular vote, by forum members, from 11am (est) november 1 to 12:00 am (est) november 15.
10. anything else as needs must.
post, pm, or hunt me down in irc to discuss.

if you have gotten started, best start.
everyone who has submitted so far say in here...

i would be interested in posting but i am not sure if i could be able to write up my story in less than 2 months, when will the next challenge be?
-
soon(tm)
-
Heh, I guess my story gets ruled out. Not exactly pg I think. ;(

Aww what a shame I just found this post now..heh I guess I am bit slow, It seems I also missed the voting as well, well there's always next time right? Well I guess that's my question, will you be holding further story writing events? If I find the time, I'd love to participate if not at least read them and maybe even vote, I mean after all, I am the Professor in Creative Writing in the Knowledge Seekers University.

Can we get another one of these?
I'd be up for helping to host it, if there's enough interest around...
