    Remember the good old days when people showed more interest in these contests and we had sometimes six or seven stories?

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Yes, it seems extremely desultory lately. I'd write one myself, but it's not my natural writing format, and therefore they take more energy than I'd prefer. Also, I don't know what we could do to encourage more involvement. Any ideas, anyone?

    I think this is for school children. Otherwise the prize is too stingy for such a long competition, and it doesn't seem to guarantee publication, except here.

    We will multiply the prize by 10 soon after introducing the annual membership fees.

    And Platinum Membership holders (only 50% more than the regular membership fee) will also have access to VIP area of the Forum!

    :-S

    Membership fees? How expensive are we talking? I have made many friends here and would hate losing them, But I understand Admin cannot run the site without expense. I only hope that enough of us still use the site to keep the fees fairly low. Do what you must, to misquote Crowley, should be the whole of the law!

    Hi, Pen.

    I am sorry... That was only a joke as I was puzzled by Cafolini's request for a higher prize money on an absolutely free website.

    There are no immediate plans to introduce a subscription fee.
