.Org Fall writing contest.

The less words you write, the more words you make.

1500 words is really not a lot. I have around 24000 words for my Fall of Constantinople writing, and its only 52 pages.

Perhaps we can do it a bit longer? More than 1500, so we can portray decay properly?

That I believe is where the greatest and perhaps more engaging challenge comes from for these contests, the word limit. In the past we have done much tighter restrictions and also much looser ones. The spectrum being anywhere from 1000 to 3000 words allowed. Personally I always felt 1000 words was too few, and when i lurked the .org in 06 during my inactivity i felt 3000 was far too much. Therefore I sought to strike a balance, and i felt 1500 was a good place to sit the limit for now.

I've written a little something for this ('decay' caught my fancy), to whom do we submit it?

PM your story to me when you feel it is done. Submission guidelines are posted in rules 4-6 of the original post, so pay CLOSE ATTENTION.

Another link to the rules thread is here. Just in case some of you guys missed it the first time around.
