Super Short Contest #16: Mermaid Writing: September 25 - Sunday, October 2 Voting: Sunday, October 2 - Saturday, October 8Theme selector: creativitygames.net/random-word-generator/randomwords/1 Theme: "Mermaid" 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! I hope actually doing "Mermaid" doesn't come back to haunt me in the form of zero entries. -.-; We have done stranger things before, so... Well, just have fun with whatever tangentially "mermaid" related idea this inspires in you. ^.^; Good luck!

Sorry I'm over eight hours later than I usually am getting this up. I was out late last night at the symphony, and today I was gone most of the day taking my mum to see a musical. I hope you enjoy the theme.

I've honestly had an idea for a Kaito/Aoko fic for this prompt for months. Never had an excuse to actually do anything about the inane idea *cackles*

*Raises hand* I just wrote one because I felt bad for...well, not "picking" because the random word generator picked, but...I guess "going through with" the mermaid theme.
I was actually working on a Hakuba and Akako piece for Mermaid, but it got too long, so I'll have to use it for Rare Pair instead.
I just hope what I wrote tonight doesn't end up being too long. I had to write half of it on my phone because my computer is currently undergoing hour-and-a-half-plus-long updates. :/
Update: My computer took two hours to update itself. I am NOT pleased. Also, I only have fifty words to cut! Huzzah! So I should have a contest entry for tomorrow. Anyone else participating?

boogum How about Kaito being a merman? He'd be half afraid of himself lol If Ariel liked to spend her time in the surface imagine him. Not sure how this could turn out for a story though

It's still a close race. There's a little less than twenty-four hours to get your vote in.

All right. Voting is closed. Congrats to Cesela, and thanks so much for everyone who participated and voted. I'm really glad we had such a good turn out for voting.
Please remember that we will not be having a contest at the end of this month due to the Finish It event, so Super Shorts will pick up again at the end of November.
