About the intent of these contest---we have professional writters amoung us who get paid for their stories----this is not for them----this is for the amature writter--who enjoys writting and sharing their work.
The intent is to help make amature writters better writters---
If you intend to sell your work ---do not enter it in a contest here
but if you like to share your work for free ---and you would like to participate then this is the place for you ----
This is a free site----and the stories are free--- and I hope we can keep it that way
now if there is no intrest in the contests as stated---then there will simply be no contests
the contests are just more work for me and the Mod ----so if you the members do not want it --so be it--I will simply remove this forum--and we can continue as before I mentioned it.
