Ladies and gentlemen, the competition is now closed!

Our first ever entrants for the (hopefully) annual FC writing competition are...

Scrabtrapman
Oddey
Meechmunchie
AlexFili

I will be PMing their stories to the judges shortly (as soon as I put said PM together) and then I'll post the stories in a new thread once all of the entries are in!

(Also, I need to change my banner now...)

I will take this moment to tell people what my observations for future competitions have been.

Firstly, seeing how much effort it's been to get stories written, I won't be making game competitions any time in the near future. I don't think people will be able to put things together that quickly.

The second issue is about timing, both in competition length and positioning in the year, so people can fit it into their schedules. Next year we'll have an art competition and a fiction competition (which will take place earlier in the year than this one) and we'll see how it all goes.

Anyway, massive thanks to the entrants and anyone else who tried to participate (sorry guys...) Without you, I'd be sat here at my laptop looking like a total prat.
