Dates

We will start accepting submissions September 15, 2009 PLEASE DO NOT PM US WITH ENTRIES BEFORE THIS DATE.
The contest will close October 10, 2009 at 11:59PM. (That's roughly a month from the start up date to write a one-shot and have it beta'd.)

Submitting

Once you write your one-shot, PM us and let us know which story you're entering. We will read the one-shot to determine if it meets all requirements and if it does it will be archived into the C2. When the contest closes we will hold votes and the top ten from those rounds will move on to the next round where the judges will choose the top three winner.

All voting will closed to the public so that there are no biased votes.

I definitely like the look of this one, but the 10k less maximum word count scares me in comparison to the other...hmm...
