They were only there to be killed off horribly

Guys I just added two more rules to the first post thanks to a great question from carterkid concerning length of stories.

The stories you submit should have at least 10 chapters with a minimum of 1,000 words per chapter otherwise it won't be much of a challenge for the person who is reading your work.

Also, please check your stories before you submit them. Your reader shouldn't have to act as your proofreader. lol

Glad to see so many of you on board already!

[mare]

Thanks Erika! I'm glad my intense hatred of the New Kids is amusing lol

All mine fit that, I do have a prologue on one story that is less than 1000 words ... lol but it's a prologue not a chapter ;P   

[carterkid]

Uncle daddy is the only story I have that is going to be more then 10 chapters. Maybe I can't sumit?? I'll still be a reader.

[mare]

If its more than 10 chapters you can submit it. You don't have to submit three, that's just so people have more variety. If the person who gets you doesn't mind short stories they can read one of the others you have picked.

[carterkid]

Comments or questions?

I am participating because someone pulled out and I really want to keep the count even because of how I plan on doing it this year. If someone else does come in and we are an odd number, I might take myself off the list.

[mare]

One other thing I will need from those people participating in the challenge. Can you fill out this mini form for me? This year I am just pairing people up so no one gets screwed over like last year. If they stop reading you, you just stop reading them if you choose to. Anyway I need to make sure that I pair up people with stories you have not read. So, I ask you take a minute and go down the lists of everyone's choices and then let me know which stories you have read. If it turns out we have all read one of those then the author can maybe swap it out for something else.

Copy & paste the authors below and just mention if you have read what they have offered as a choice.

1) PurpuraLipstic k
2) Carter-Orange
3) DelphinaCarter
4) Julilly
5) Mare
6) Rose
7) carterkid
8) Ritz
9) Julie
10) kevmylove
11) simple sue
12) tigger128
