2)It must adhere to the period's theme as the main idea, or at least have some connection.
3)It must be submitted by the deadline. (The deadline will be according to AG time so that people will not be confused by the timeframe/exploit difference in time zones.)
4)A winner cannot win twice in a row, though he or she can submit an entry the next week.

3)No sexual references or innuendoes, though romantic scenes such as kissing can be included.

Actions that lead to disqualification

2)Only one submission is allowed for each user. So please do not create multiple accounts for multiple entries. If it has been discovered that a user has submitted many entries due to this method, he or she will be disqualified.
3)If someone's username is used as a character's name or mentioned in the story, ask for permission first. Failure to do so may lead to disqualification.

Without further ado, let it begin!

*Note: Everything is subjected to change!

Yay for fire. It has some ups and downs, but mostly ups. What's so good? You can figure it out! You can light people on fire. Isn't that amazing? It rocks my socks! I repeat, you can actually light people on fire! Pure ownage! Did you know that fire is spelled with an F; not an E? Amazing! Truly fabulous.
Fire is like a rainbow.. Beautiful, many colors and best of all, you need 2 materials to make fire. Heat and oxygen. Yup, that is all you really need! Fire can kill and save lives. It makes a fiery excitement! Will it burn? That is the question!

...but there's an E and an F in "fire"...

That is the point.... o_o

Submissions for the context must specify the word count implemented.

So they can be any length s long as the word count is stated?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. . .dis iz mah contest.  I'll try for an entry.

...but there's an E and an F in "fire"...

*Goes Grammar Nazi*

That should be and a F not 'an.' Epic Fail Strop. Epic Fail.

So it is short story then...not just all writing in general?

I could probably come up with something for this...according to a few people I know I have a way with words...but I don't really know.

I will enter tomorrow! :)

@KR:  Need I comment?  I think not. . . .

Re: I forgot the word count!

Right, so it'll be 500-2000 words, give or take ten percent. Any more, I'm not required to read. But you know...I may...

@KR:  Need I comment?  I think not. . . .

I'm just going a little crazy tonight. Oh well...off to bed then! :)

2000?? That's an awful lot for a short story. Oh well. All the more to write!

It actually isn't. The word count goes by really fast.
