The story entry can be a chapter of an ongoing serial, a short story, a poem, a novel, a piece of any length. The only restriction is that this work be NEW writing and not already posted prior to the starting date of this contest. This is for new works only, and as such please do not use anything recycled from other sites. Entries may be multipart (especially because of that submission length bug in Drupal!).

The Contest will last a total of 3 weeks for submissions (December 1, 2009 - December 24, 2009).

The voting will occur over a 1 week period by registered site users only and only 1 vote per person using only 1 of their registered site accounts. Multiple attempts to vote using additional accounts owned or created by that person will nullify their vote and have us pull out the paddle!

The voting will be blind ballot of course and the results kept hidden.

The TOP 4 stories will be awarded a prize designated as follows: 1st place - $90, 2nd place - $70, 3rd place - $50, 4th place - Copy of Jenny Walker's No Half Measures Volume 2.
