Well, I am seeing there is some interest in having a fiction writing contest. Of course, I am sure there are a few rules on the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest that we surely need to change. For one, I am not wanting to write mine on a postcard and sending it in by snailmail and I am surely hoping that we all come to the conclusion that waiting until April 15, 2004 is a bit long to see what people submitted. Here are the proposed rules:
All entries will be posted here on ***: Raggin' & Rantin' on July 27 in anonymous format for judging. I will be attempting to locate three quality judges to do the judging.
- Each entry must consist of a single sentence.
- Sentences may be of any length (though you go beyond 50 or 60 words at your peril), and entrants may submit more than one, but all entries must be original and previously unpublished.
- Entries are to be submitted by Midnight July 26.
- Entries are to be emailed, with writer's blog URL, to TRRcontest[at]msn.com [this email address was created for that single purpose].
- All entries must be fiction, but may be based in any genre
However, that said and done, as the contest has not officially begun, I am willing to listen to other suggestions.

Tiger,
This is why I like you. You're always ready to run with the ball.
