Update - SHORT STORY COMPETITION; More News!

I've received many positive responses regarding the IAS short story competition. It's wonderful! All writers are welcome to enter. Please keep in mind though that published short stories may not be considered...we are looking for a story that is new and fresh.
The prize money up for grabs will suffice as a good incentive, and there's a mystery prize added to the lot which is well worth the effort for those who enter.
Entry is FREE!!!
I'd like to urge all who consider entering to read the following two novels - if only for inspiration...
1) The Time Travelers Wife - Audrey Niffenegger
2) The Time Machine - G.H Wells
Keep up the good spirit and have confidence in your writer voice!
Good luck to all!
