Member-Sponsored Mini Waffle House Challenge

Details

Deadline:Aug 24, 2012
Fee:Free

The Waffle House has been gracious enough to host a mini-contest with two huge prizes in honor of the memory of Riley Amick, who passed away on July 31, 2012. Riley was engaged to our own Aerial White's daughter. May he rest in peace.

In keeping with the theme of waffling, you must write a piece of fiction no more than 2000 words long where the character(s) waffle about a major decision in their life. You may use any genre and any style of writing, but it must have a complete story arc (no chapters from an existing novel you're working on).

Prizes: There will be two 1st place winners: a free member who will win a full year of premium membership, and a premium member who will win 15 karma points.

IMPORTANT: You must put in the description whether you are a premium or a free member. If you don't, your work will be automatically disqualified. Your work also has to be submitted in the main spotlight to qualify.

Happy writing!
