I am really not that good with words, and telling stories. There are lots of good writers on here, as I've read past Prose Competitions, just never voted on them. I may Vote this time.

Repetition of Rules

1. topic: emotion (it was asked to have a theme and this I think is narrow and broad enough).

2. max length: 800 words (excluding the title, which however has to fit in one line here so max. 40 characters)

3. deadline 5th of March 12:00 Site time. This gives everybody six week and a full weekend).

4. submissions to Ponderable_Dickens@yahoo.com please indicate RHP in the suject line. Or by PM at the site.

5. maximum of two submissions per author.

6. I will set up a thread for voting/commenting probably 5th of March which will be open two weeks.

If one person makes 2 entries, will only one be put forward to the contest?

Question: If one person can only give two entries. How could it be possible to win the first 3 places?

Dude, he's saying that because there is a 2 entry limit per person, it's not possible for someone to win the top 3 places.

I'll come back later and draw you a diagram. 😵

How could one person win first three places with only two entries?

Heaven help us.


"No both are valid entries." = A writer can submit 2 entries and (yes) both are valid.

"But we won't have one Person winning the first three places." = Because a writer is limited to just these 2 entries it won't be possible for 1 writer to win all 3 places and hence other writers will have a chance of finishing in the top 3 places.
