is it cheating?

  1. Is it fair to enter the best short story you ever wrote or even one you plagiarized, to contest with a prompt? That's my objection to the short stories that are posted not in response to the prompt. The prompt is supposed to be your starting point it prompts us to write this story. Reasonably, if I don't like the way the game is played. I just shouldn't play. Okay.

    Formal answer - its fine to enter any short story that's your own work that you want to enter - if it doesn't fit the prompt that's down to the membership to reflect in the voting - mods certainly haven't got the time and energy to police how well each story fits the prompt.

    Plagiarism in the contests is an instant perma ban if its proven - vis NorfolknChance last december
