Welcome to Short story duelists

2007-01-07 [Amarantha]: *is tempted to have a story featuring potpourri*

But that would smell rather strongly.

2007-01-07 [crowdel]: potpourri has other meanings then just smelly stuff it is a collection of different items and ece-deost yes you could such is the appeal of the potpourri section. I may add categories too such as if i notices alot of historical fiction going into the potpourri section i would make a historical fiction category due to it's popularity and seloces that is precisely why i labelled it potpourri to strike interest and to make it sound better than rejected or other or something like that potpourri sounds better

2007-01-08 [Amarantha]: Yes, it does. I do know the alternate meanings, but ah, the fascinating associations of the smelly stuff... a pinecone, for instance.

2007-01-27 [Willow Rose]: Hmm... I was hoping to submit one of my short stories, but both of them are kinda of up there in mature/profanity.

2007-01-28 [Willow Rose]: I have a question.
On the submission page, I noticed numbers 8, 9, and 10... How you make a wiki for the writing, and add a link to the submissions page at the end...
Well, what if you already have the writing on a wiki page? (Which, I do...) Can you just use that wiki and not ad the link to the submissions page? (Because I have other links at the end... To go back to my house, or other my other writings, etc.)

2007-01-28 [GoneGone]: Copy and paste the story you want to submit onto a wiki page, and link that wiki when you put in your submission (to make a link, you write the title of the wiki and add "@wiki" to the end. Like [my story@ wiki] without the space between the @ and wiki). Also, the story you submit for voting should be one you wrote explicitly for this contest.

2007-01-28 [Willow Rose]: Yes, I know what you mean... But the story I wanted to submit is already on a wiki She Sits Alone...

And I didn't notice anywhere in the rules where it said the story should be one I wrote just for this contest. If I had, I wouldn't have asked or be thinking about submitting, since I can't write something just all of a sudden for a contest.

2007-01-28 [GoneGone]: Then copy and paste it to another wiki specifically for the contest.

2007-01-28 [crowdel]: ece-deost I like you stepping up to help people but this wikipage is for the betterment of writers. This means that stories do not have to be explicitly written for the contest. Someone may have old stories they are unsure of and would like to be judged. there is no problem with that we are for all stories. 

2007-01-28 [crowdel]: The reason the 8, 9, and 10 are there is for those who are new and may get confused and as such simply post their story on the submission page wasting prescious space that could be used much better and not slow the loading of the wikipage. we need pending to the side so we can go through to assure that all rules have been followed for rules such as content or category. the link is for the use of wiki members to come back to the wiki so they do not have to do extra work to get back to the site. 

2007-01-28 [Amarantha]: Heck, we just need stories. I am inveigling my sis to submit one right now...

2007-02-04 [dark starlight]: Well..maybe you could be a bit less picky. Maybe minor profanity wouldn't kill anyone...

2007-02-04 [crowdel]: yes that is up to the administrator to allow it or not i mean in horror it's almost expected to have some gore or other type of profanity and love might too i mean as long as it didnt turn porno or anything

2007-02-04 [crowdel]: speaking of administrators I need ALL administrators to message [crowdel] so I can tell you how to do the job you applied to

2007-03-11 [SeLoCeS]: hi i think i will have to remove myself as a administrator for this site as i dont feel i have the time it deserves a administrator should put in Sorry.

2007-03-12 [crowdel]: no prob it happens to the best of us

2007-03-21 [Duhe Rahn]: I guess I should ask to put in another story of mine, shouldn't i? Duhe Rahn story # 1

2007-03-22 [crowdel]: I would love to accpt your work however i would like you to submit it in it's rightful place in the submission pages where i can look at it and then get you on for a competition

2007-03-22 [Duhe Rahn]: ok, will do

2009-04-25 [Linderel]: Do you think there's any chance of breathing life into this wiki, or shall I remove the link on Writing Contests?

2009-09-26 [Duke Devlin]: No reply, huh? :( :P I'm sure I got here from 'Writing Contests'. =/
