Aaaand we're done, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for all the cracking entries. GP has been awarded, and an over all winner will be announced shortly!

Seeing as I have the concentration span of a gnat, now seems as good a time as any to launch BrevityQuest11.Your writeups, 300 words or fewer. That's it.


00:00:00 Monday 4 April — 23:59:59 Saturday 30 April 2011, server time



  • Well-crafted fact or fiction; poetry or continuous prose
  • New writeups only, please
  • As many submissions as you want, but flooding new writeups is far from groovy
  • Notify the most able Tem42 of your minora opera (my head can't cope with screens at the moment, I'm having a break)
  • If you can pop the word-count on the bottom of the writeup, that's a bit helpful, too
  • Bounty is awarded at 10GP per writeup, and maybe even something fun landing through the mailbox of the entrant Tem42 and I judge to have contributed the most to e2 and the quest (and that's entirely arbitrary, but we might bring in some backup)
  • Some BQ10 favourites, for the record: 66 ~ 76 ~ 158 ~ 130 ~ 212 ~ 294
