Theme: "Torn" Optional Prompts:

Event Details:Each participant needs to write a short story to be posted by midnight according to the Cafe clock in the Contest Entries section of the Fanfic Library: poirotcafe.com/board/31/poirot-cafe-contest-entries . That's midnight Sunday going into Monday; you have the entirety of Sunday to work. At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. The winner will get a prize and get to choose the theme for the next competition. Make sure that when you post your stories on FF.net that you mention that the story was written for Poirot Cafe's competition to our readers! Let's have fun and advertise at the same time! Prize:Custom designed award badge that you can use in your signature or elsewhere. Guidelines:1. Keep stories relatively short (1,500 to 5,000, with 300 words TOPS to "wrap it up"), and please post word count at the top of your entry. 2. K-T ratings only. (Think suitable for about 14 years old.) 3. No crossovers or spoilers. 4. Must be new material written within the contest's writing period. No re-posted stories. 5. Please be fair and courteous when voting and reviewing! I'm super excited that we had a good turn out last time. Hopefully more people will participate this time too. I'm going to try to get an entry together too. (My job willing. T.T)

It strikes me that I only have this weekend and next to get my entry together. Is anyone else working on anything? Sgamer, you had mentioned you were working on a fic with Sera. How’s that going?

I’m going to try to work on this this weekend, but we’ll see. I don’t want it coming out rushed. :/

I don't think I'll be done on time, but if anyone's curious about what I'm up to, I can at least show the rough draft here It's a bit disjointed as I write what I've got ideas for at the time, but it's readable enough otherwise.

That’s okay. I didn’t even get to start mine. :/ I got a lot of chores and errands accomplished, though. Thanks for sharing the draft!
It’s a little premature to ask, but since it doesn’t look like three people will have entries in, I’ll go ahead and open the floor up for suggestions for themes and optional prompts. I’ll start a vote on Wednesday.
Flight -Fear of Flying -Fleeing -Flighty/Absentminded

Haha. I was thinking flying in an airplane. ^.^; I can see what you mean, though, now that you mention it.
