The 100 word stories weekly challenge is where I post a topic and then you write and record a story based on that topic.

The next topic is Smoke.

This week, we're going to continue to experiment with a Saturday Night deadline and a Sunday production. I'd like to see how well that works for y'all and then after a few weeks, we'll revisit the issue and decide which day works best based on experience.

(Any thoughts so far?)

You have until midnight on Saturday December 5 to get me the following:

• The text of your story so I can post it on the site.

• If you have a blog, podcast, or other site that people can go to so they can learn more about your handiwork, the URL would be appreciated.

• What you would like the topic of Weekly Challenge #190 to be. 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 .mp3 format. Please use your name as the filename if you can, okay? Makes it easier to produce the show quickly.

If you do not feel like recording a story for the podcast, well, go ahead and send the story in anyway. I'll include it in the show notes, but it won't be eligible for choosing the topic or winning the magnets.

Send the stories to isfullofcrap (at) gmail.com with the subject line of WEEKLY CHALLENGE 189 and then add a comment here saying you've sent it in. The subject line is pretty important because even GMail tosses things in the Spamfilter by accident.

Once all the stories are in, I'll assemble them into a single podcast collection for your enjoyment.

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.
