These must be written and submitted by Monday 25th Jan. Do try and get them done - it would be great if they had hundreds to choose from. World limit is 1000 words and the stories should be uplifting and have hope...
See the home page for full details.
Post your efforts on here too - I'm going to give it a go as well!

These are really great submissions. I also sent Greg a story, but I failed to read the "uplifting and have hope" guideline, but still, I submitted something. Common sense should've guided me, but it rarely does.
Good luck, everyone.

Keep them coming folks - Greg wants a lot more than this! Don't leave it to someone else - do it yourself!

Can you submit more than one short story for Haiti?

Here's an attempt. I greatly admire those who can respond to 'uplifting' and 'hope' when required. I found that part particularly tough and am not sure how far I got in the end. But good luck everyone ...

I think you can put in as many as you like - keep them coming folks!

I just heard that mine has been accepted. Good luck to everyone else! I know from our Facebook group that a very long term member, Wolfgirl aka Julia Bohanna, has also been accepted. Any others?

I guess I didn't make it then - ho hum, being part of it was a pleasure in itself plus it got me to write a brand new story :--)
tcook | February 2, 2010 - 14:43
Just keep at it - I thought your story was excellent but I have no control over the choosing!

Thanks Tony, I guess bribing you was a waste of time :--)

Congratulations, Tony, and any other 'talers who got in.

Tony - thanks for letting us all know about this. Looks like I'm in as well. Nice to have a chance to contribute to something like this.
