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! You know, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of character combinations you come up with. I hope we get something really unique like Akako and Ran for instance. XD Have fun with it! Or maybe and ?

This is such a rudimentary theme for Detective Conan, and perfect to write something for. But for some reason nothing comes to mind. hmmmh... I'll have to see if I can come up with anything or not at all.

I have an idea but I honestly don't know if I'll get anything written. Will see how I go.

Not entirely sure if I'll have one for this or not. I've got an idea, and it's coming along but it's not quite flowing in a way I like just yet. I'm also torn between it and actually doing more work on my Haunted House of Class 2-C story.

Mmmmm... probably not gonna be able to write anything again at this rate. Life kills recreation sometimes...
Random question, though... does anyone know what type of hawk is Watson? I know I've read it somewhere before but I can't remember. I was sorta planning to write something about him and Hakuba but... yeaaah... y'know... life... *sigh*
Edit: I think she's a eurasian sparrowhawk but I'm not entirely sure...

At this point, it doesn't look like we'll be getting enough entries. :/ Unless someone gets something in in the next seven minutes, but it doesn't look like anyone else was planning on submitting anything.
If that still holds true seven minutes from now, why don't we start submitting ideas for the next theme. Even if we don't get enough entries to vote, I still think they're worthwhile because they get the ideas flowing. If not in time for the deadline, then for later use.
Thanks to those of you that participated!

Did anyone else have any theme/optional prompt suggestions? I'll be starting the vote tomorrow. It will go through next Saturday, and then I'll start the next contest on Sunday the nineteenth of March.
