  • Thanks Webbo, that was fun - managed to write my 100 words in about 5 minutes while attempting to cook lunch for two hungry children, so don't think I'll be winning any prizes, but any opportunity to sneak a bit of writing in on school holidays is welcome!
  • Thanks Webbo!
  • Cheers Webbo. Don't think I'll win anything but you never know.
  • And it's running every day until next week so there's a bit more potential...

  • Thanks for the further link Webbo. once everyone has seen this I'm sure it will take off.
  • So glad its running for a few days because I missed todays one!
  • Ditto ttofee.
    I actually like the sound of the magazine too.
  • Thanks for this, webbo. Pity i missed it earlier, but can try for tomorrow's comp.
  • "... we'll be asking a successfull author Helen Walsh to pick an overall winner."


    Hope I win it. That old tabard of mine is getting terrible worn.

    Hope they present me with this one, as it matches colour of my eyes.

    The winning entry is there - don't think it's a Talkbacker's.

    Liked your stories Van, Baggy and ST F (hope I read the right entry).
  • Time to submit today's entry!

    Presumably more and more people will enter as the days go by.
  • Aww, I didn't win. Must have a go at today's comp as well.
  • Sorry, BR - must have missed your entry. I didn't mean to imply that I didn't like it! :)

    You can start writing the other entries, too - the pictures are shown online, although what they'll say may affect what you write.
  • It's under my real name (Steven Chapman), Jay. Didn't think anyone would recognise it ;D

    Right, I'm gonna check out todays picture.
  • Brilliant, BR!
  • Some people are very prolific (if that's not tautology).
  • [quote=Jay Mandal](if that's not tautology)[/quote]

    I suppose it is, but 'some people are prolific' sounds a bit like a line from a See Spot Run book :p
  • Had a go at today's. ("That was then, but this is now")

    Yes, some people have entered loads!
  • Dunno where that face came from..... I only touched a bracket key.
  • The winner's been announced.
  • Liz, today's is crying out for you! (And for any other cat lovers/haters.)
  • Nearly time to post your submission!
  • Today's winning entry is shown.

    You still have next Monday and Tuesday's pictures to write a story about.

    and

    for terms and conditions.
  • Spot the deliberate mistake:

    "... we'll be asking a successfull author Helen Walsh to pick an overall winner."
  • Have entered today's competition, but if the volume, from 10.30am, is anything to go by there's a helluva lot of entries.
  • Best of luck!
  • Didn't win folks, and in view of the shark attack, thought I was in with a chance as...read mine: published about 10.39, with the title 'The Numbers Game.' Still I did count 174 entries, which must have been the largest, as I think the day before was less than 40. I note there is yet another Munchbunch competition, so will have a go at that.
