I don't think this ever happened - It caused me a lot of angst at the time if I recall

I want to enter! :)

If this ever takes place :)

Hmm, this could be fun. There's a couple of problems with something like this though:

The main problem is how few people here that seem to have interest in writing? For contestants that's fine as too many stories would just be too much on a TiBB members attention span but in terms of the judging I'm not sure how it'd be done as most the people interested I guess would rather be writing than judging. If it was a "public vote" then I don't think the majority of TiBBers could be bothered to read through 1 short story, let alone multiple ones.

Otherwise, I think this could potentially be done, it would just need a lot more interest.

I think Ukt was going to something similar once...it could have been poetry but it didn't happen, not sure if it was lack of interest....I agree it needs a lot of thought to make it work properly

Unless you incorporate it into the annual TIBB awards

I want to enter this competition if it takes place.
