Okay new deadlines people.
Submissions: Thursday 10th
Voting: Thursday 17th
Voting and presentation of pieces will be done in exactly the same way as previous prose competitions. If you look back to the first page of this thread I think Nordlys posted links to them if you're curious.

1) Submissions must be no more than 500 words, 1 entry per person.
2) They should be sent to fattytron@hotmail.com titled 'PROSE COMP'
3) They MUST concern the following brief: "A cat may lead to darker things, but a bird is just too flighty". Interpretation is up to you.
4) Deadline for submission is Thursday 10th April (in other words 2 weeks time.) ...[text shortened]... for their own work, but will be required to vote.
7) Voting will close Thursday April 17th.

Originally posted by SunburntI take it so seriously that I have thought about it several times and found out that my mind always gets seriously blank when I start thinking about cats and flighty birds.
I take it so seriously I have read it twice and keep returning though there is nothing new here except bumps.

Originally posted by NordlysAye, but I suspect a little talk about metainertia at the beginning of your workshop would be a good introduction, as long as the recursion bottoms out in time for you to write it.
What's worse is that I get seriously inertial every time I try to think about the proposal for a workshop on inertia and action in music I want to send in for a conference (the deadline is one day after the prose comp's deadline).

Originally posted by SunburntI don't think it means we have to use the sentence, just the idea. But Starrman would need to confirm this. Actually I find it quite intriguing, but I doubt I'll be able to come up with something within the given timeframe. There are other things (like the proposal) that have to have priority.
Well, it seems that this restriction doesn't get the creative juices flowing! 😕
EDIT: Call me stupied, but does the restriction mean we have to USE that sentence, btw?

Originally posted by NordlysI didn't think we HAD to, no. You never know, sometimes inspiration just hits you and hits rather quickly!
