Comp Based on a Poem

Ooh - that's a great one - go for it folks!

I've entered! You can see it here: http://www.abctales.com/story/tcook/how-build-man Who else is having a go? Closing date is April 2nd.

Er, she seems to be asking people to write multiple excellent stories all for the --chance-- to win 25 quid! Isn't this just a rouse to get good "cheap/free-ish" content for her website! (Hang on I've just finished my eleventh entry. I'm working on the novel. I'll be back in two year's time.) My webpage is at: http://www.bookscape.co.uk

Ooh, you cynic. I really don't think it's that at all - she says the winning entry/ies will be posted on her site for a couple of weeks. I just think she wants to see people reading Alison's poem and thinking about it. I see no conspiracy.

Aha! So you're in on it too, Tony? Ask 'who benefits?' and the trail of filthy lucre goes all the way back to the Templars. Fish's poem is a coded call-to-arms! Killian is lying to you, people - the lizardmen are already amongst us. Burn your diaries! Don't use mobile phones! The End Times are upon us!

Mmm, that fly tasted good. Excuse me, there's a call coming in on my hotline from Atlantis. Ah, it's George W Bush. I'll have to go now...

I won't get out of bed for less than £1000 ... hence I haven't got out of bed in over 18 months. Seriously though, I like the idea of using a poem as inspiration and although I don't really do stories I may give it a go. I think the £25 is a nice gesture. I love this fishy poem! jude that's better

Phew that was lucky, I thought it was just me being paranoid! Craig
