In the calm before the storm that will be Eurofiction I’ve posted a fun little activity to do in the Member’s Challenge section of the forums.

Eurofiction starts in 1 week

Pens at the ready writers.

Check out your competition – the Master Scoreboard is up and showing the current registered participants.

Map and Links

A new member’s map can be found under the activities page – it’s the same as on the old site so a bit fiddly to use but I’ve added an area search to take you straight to where you want to go.

Also updated is the links page – I’ve copied over most of the active links from the old site – please add your own picking one category and selecting blank in the Target box.

Congratulations again to Steffi who wins for the second week in a row with Dreaming Spires – a story which sent my spine tingling!

Frantic Fiction Winners 17.08.09

Joint Winners this week.

Congratulations to Mattspop and Steffi both inspired by one day in the life of a firefighter.

Mattspop’s entry Fired Up is a more traditional tale but well paced and sadly shows what additional hazards firefighters are confronted by these days.

Steffi’s entry Sorensen’s Miracle struck a cord with its unique take on the prompt.
