Super Short Contest #15: Dance Writing: August 28 - Sunday, September 4 Voting: Sunday, September 4 - Saturday, September 10Theme selector: creativitygames.net/random-word-generator/randomwords/1 Theme: "Dance" Themed Writing Competition Guidelines 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: www.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. 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:A Custom Badge. Guidelines:1. 500-1,000 words only (with 100 word margin to "wrap it up"), and please include word count at the top. 2. K-T ratings only. 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! It was either "dance" or "mermaid". Should I have actually gone with "mermaid"? I thought, "After 'lipstick', that's too funky". In any case, I hope you have fun.

Hey there guys! I'm glad to report that I've vetted the entries up to this point, and they're all within regulations, so I'll start up the vote tomorrow after the deadline passes.
Actually, tomorrow I'm planning on attending an international festival, and I don't know how late I'll be getting home. I'm planning on spending the whole day there, so I won't be starting the vote on time. Sorry. Somehow I think you'll understand and forgive my desperate attempts to have a life outside of writing, work, and the gym. I'm even trying to make friends offline. It's...not really going anywhere yet, but...I'm not pessimistic.
Anyway. So just go ahead and read the entries and think about which one you want to vote for in the event that I'm terribly late in starting the vote. Thanks for your patience.

Don't worry about it Mikau! Have an amazing day at your festival. You are more then allowed to have personal things you'd rather do then watch over us. We are just lucky to have you being as active as you are, or the site would have died ages ago!
