I hope all the talented DGNers go for this. Then the winner amongst us can treat the rest to dinner (some place reasonable). So if you enter, TELL US HERE. (Dinner thingee eligible to those who both submit and agree to uphold the bargain in this thread--so state it explicitly if you qualify on both counts.)

ergh.

Not exactly free.

In the submission guidelines, it states a $20 subscription fee. You have to pay the fee just to enter.

Um. That's the reading fee. The subscription is free. I've had one for two years and they've never made me pay a dime. Some other contests are free, but this is a special event. The prize money is higher and the submissions are more numerous. It makes for a humongous heap of sometimes not so special literature to dig through, so I don't blame them. Most legit contests do have a fee; $20 is typical and, I think, worth the venture.

If I win one of the top three places, then I would go for the dinner thing for whoever else is pooled into it.

Edit:

Submitted.

I am most definately not worthy of sending 20 dolla to these readers. I cower at the thought of even attempting to do so, for I am nothing but a lowly writer whose pride in her work could never amount to a full twenty dollars.

I'm not the best writer in the world - but I have been a little experience and like to do so. I think I'll throw something together for it.

Maybe I'll submit one of my already published shorts :D

Sadly, I had to withdrawal my submission. I probably revised it over thirty times before I sent it in, but with over 9,000 words and my still being in the learning process, I found a bunch of structural errors after submitting it which drove me crazy.

Hmmm. Well, I has no job now and thus no excuses. I will be writing my ass off this week to get my story in.

Good luck with the writing. :jamin

I'm not currently employed either, but I'm working on a novel. I have no worthwhile short fiction to send into Narrative so I'll have to try sending something at a later date. I'll probably give my previous story a few more revision sweeps and post it here though.

      What are you about to go do?

      By TronRP · Posted

      About to head up to Roseville to return this rental and pick up my truck from the auto shop.  It is supposedly sporting a newly fabricated frame rail...I don't think they are referred to as "chassis" anymore as I see the confusion in shop owner's eyes when they ask me if I'm looking for "body work?".   But I do find it interesting that I told the owner that I worked direct with OEM parts and yet he still wrote me up an invoice with overpriced OEM parts from companies I used to host at the place I used to work for.  With that said, I'm expecting a stellar job for the amount I paid.   ...else, there will be some talk negotiations.

      ~~~~~ Definitely wishing you luck.  Do enjoy yourselves.   But I have to admit, the first thing that came to mind was does roadside assistance reach the desert? 😬

      ~~~~~ Yeah, it's like something happened to my metabolism this past Winter and when I came out of hibernation, that AARP Join Request started looking like something to check into.

      This 👆 definitely goes with what I said in my other post - getting old sucks. Seems like *everything* takes longer and takes more energy out of me than it used to. Really need to work on my diet and exercise, I've found the older I get, the more important those things have really become...
