The 100 word stories challenge is where I post a topic and then you write and record a story based on that topic.
Sounds, simple, doesn't it?
Topics are selected by the winner of the previous weekly challenge, and in this case it's K-Nine of Dead Dog Walkin'. He's selected: Football / Referees.
You have until midnight on Friday December the 29th to get the following in my hot little hands:
- The text of your story so I can post it on the site.
- What you would like the topic of Weekly Challenge #38 to be if you win. Failure to send in a topic with your selection will mean that if you win, whoever is in second place will be considered for the topic, and so on.
- A recording of your story in .wav, .mp3, or any other common audio format.
My address is 100words (at) isfullofcrap.com. Should that mailbox fail somehow, my backup mailbox is isfullofcrap (at) gmail.com. (I do not check my Yahoo or Hotmail addresses... they are just for IM purposes.)
Speaking of hot little hands, it would be best if you record the story. Use something simple like Audacity of Odeo... or even Windows Recorder. That way, you can put all the emotion and meaning into it as you intended. Even stick some music and sound effects in there if you want. Or slap a promo for your own pod cast or web log.
Otherwise, I've got a banjo-playing midget in the basement who can read it for you.
Once all the stories are in, I'll assemble them into a single podcast collection for your enjoyment.
Needing more of an incentive to participate? How about the fact that for the remaining Weekly Challenges in 2006, I'll PayPal the winner the price of a cup of coffee to enjoy while listening to the podcast (five bucks should cover it).
Good luck, and feel free to e-mail me with any questions you have.
Hear y'all in a week, and as always, keep it brief.
