For those who still haven't gotten off the dime and selected what to write about, given this year's topic, "Emotions", here's a link to a page where you can find lots and lots and lots of emotions to choose from, as well as some handy references concerning how these emotions are related to each other. One thing I found handy was Plutchik's Wheel of Emotio ...[text shortened]... nd yes, I know there's only a little less than a month left, so it's well past time to get busy!
I wonder if I'm up to writing a respectable entry. I could use a narrative voice sampling. Thanks.

Sorry, last question, I think, is "Building Site Linguistics" allowed in entries? I.E. swear words?
Just before I start the first edit thought I should check.
It's probably best to assume a G-rated audience, at least for swear words. The robo-mod won't pick up "adult situations", however, just language. Write with this in mind.

Just to keep the thread floating: 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.

No, haven't submitted.
btw I will accept two entries per author for the final competition, but you can send any amount beforehand and choose just before Deadline.
This enable us to have at least good drafts even if the author did not manage to provode a "perfect" Piece.
