I just want to write a mix of sci fi/fantasy for y’alls enjoyment. What’s the extranet I hear about?

:-) Thomas F Abrahamsson replies: "The Extranet no longer exist. It used to be the place where users uploaded their materials to Elfwood. Now you simply login to Elfwood and upload straight from there."

That Lady Knight of Adam’s: what if a doctor from the early 1900s Wild West had saved her mortally wounded best friend, and she found out his terrible secret? She is seriously considering marrying that doctor, too?

Good question. I think you can go with ’inspired by’ here, along the lines of ’I saw this and this story popped into my head’.

After some deliberation deadline extended to 11th July. There’s still time!

hey i’m definitley entering, but i’ve never submitted anything for a contest on elfwood before. Is there anything special i have to do for this particular submission?
10 Jul 2010:-) Grey Pilgrim
Sarah - just follow the ’more info’ link, which leads to the ’full instructions’ (you’ll have to post your entry the image that inspired it in the relevant thread in the contests section of the forum - http://forum.elfwood.com/viewtopic.php?f=135&t=1589&sid=a4244- c2f5d4f1a37983650e88ee2eb01 )

I want to enter, but I’m still waiting for my stuff to be published. it’s been sitting there about two months and doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere closer to being published, so I may not get the chance to enter...

Paula - you may post the link to your unpublished story (& the picture) in the forums. Provided tehre’s nothing wrong with it to get it disqualified, it would count as entered into the contest once it is published.

Oh, too bad I saw this too late for me to be able to write a story. Ah well, I hope there will be another contest soon, because this type of contest really inspired me to write. Now I am going to write my intended contest entry story anyway. 2

Johan - It is very probable that this would not be the last contest like this on Elfwood, so if you did get inspired - go with it. You may even be able to submit it to a future ’reverse illustration’ contest. 1
