       What is Drabble?
       A drabble is a short work of fiction of one hundred words in
       length.
       The purpose is brevity, testing the author's ability to express
       interesting and meaningful ideas in a confined space.
       You'll need the same basic components as you do for a longer
       story:
       A setting
       One or more characters
       A conflict
       A resolution.
       No set theme or subject matter
       What does it cost to enter?
       Nothing. It's free.
       Please understand that by entering the Drabble competition you
       are granting permission to publish the story, here on the
       Writing Writers Website, so we can open voting...
       How it Works:
       The £35 Drabble comp will run every month 1st day at 06:00 to
       the last day at 20:30 (UK Times)
       You can send 1 Drabble entry (a story of 100 words exactly,
       excluding title) per month.
       Just send your 100-word story in the body of an email - Don't
       forget your story must have a title and the title does not count
       in the 100 words.
       mailto:drabble@writingwriters.net
       Entries must be original, unpublished and typed in English
       Please do not send poetry
       All the entries received will be posted on the website
       anonymously, identifiable only by the Story#
       Voting will close at 11am on the 10th
       In the event of a tie, we will cast the deciding vote.
       In the event of a mulitple tie, the vote will stay open with
       entries involved in the tie for a further 48 hours.
       The £35.00 prize money is paid via PayPal
       How to get votes?

       huh?
