We need a writing prize!
Various writers of low grade pulp have been producing their wares here for a while. I propose that at the end of the year we have a poll for the best original story posted here at MR (or is that worst? Decisions, decisions) for the year 2009.
What sort of prize should be given? There are two possibilities - A toy stuff Llama or a Toy lobster signed by Her Majesty Queen Z. What do ya'll think.... |

I can only say, that I have, within me, the GREATEST UNTOLD STORY.
But, I am not telling (not for a stuffed Llama, anyway.) |

Within every person is a storyteller, dieing to get out.
Mine tasted like chicken. |

we've been talking about a writing prize off and on for a while around here ("the golden llama" ?). i think it may be time to put the plan into action.

Why take one if you can get away with all of them? A stuffed llama signed by Queen Z with a lobster riding on top! (of the llama, not of dear Zeldachen!)

Some sort of golden llama medallion to post in the winner's signature line? A reminder of glory, lest we should forget.

Have you seen this dog? Hijack Patrol´s looking for VR hiding behind a stolen avatar. Please report any relevant details to find the evil, evil dog!
A prize for writers is a very good idea, btw. You certainly will win a prize if your testimony helps to find the dog. |
