Get your entries in NOW!<br /><br />We need 13 more entries just to break even (a £200 first prize and no place prizes) but I am not prepared to lose on two consecutive competitions.<br /><br />I'm thus keeping the comp open a little while longer in the hope that the various promised stories arrive.<br /><br />The following is a FIRST PASS (meaning it's rough and positions could change) which gives an APPROXIMATE standing (in bands) of the stories. The list is to show you ROUGHLY where your story stands but please note that within a band, just because you are first doesn't nmean you are top of that band.<br /><br />IRRIGATION<br />A Good Day For Trumpet Fish<br />The Big Enigma<br />Mechanical Animals<br />Saviour of Mons<br /><br />The I in the Sky<br />The Truth Game<br />Soul Kill<br />Final Knockings<br />Not Los Angeles<br /><br />Cold Bones<br />Elixir of Youth<br />Taking Care<br />Sea Songs & Bladderwrack<br />The Leg or Oliver's Lamp<br /><br />Strangers<br />Glass Jars<br />Rough Justice<br />Poor Daisy<br />Growing Pains<br />Crossing the Bridge<br />The Visitor<br />The Good Deed<br />Clouds<br />Perpetual Paradise<br />The Assessment<br /><br />Unmarked<br /><br />The Power of One<br />The End of the World is DoneAlex Keeganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03852766836039129209noreply@blogger.com
