Five days. No takers. I guess I need to spice it up a little. Here's the first 13/14 lines: Thomas sat by the magic wishing well. He figured the beautiful spot and the well must be magic--how else could it make him feel so good. After two days of walking on dusty roads, this was a the first...

Another quarter of WOTF is upon me. Again, I need feedback. ------ Quote: I'm about to submit my latest short story to the Writers of the Future Contest (it has to be in by Sept 30th). Because of the nature of the contest, I don't want to just post the entire story here as I'm not sure what...

Thanks for reading it Timelord, and thanks for the very useful feedback.

I got your e-mails. I just sent it out to both of you.

Anyone else willing to read it? Times runnin' out. I've gotten some great feedback so far, but I need one or more people to critique in the next three or four days.

I like the idea, however, I wouldn't use Mars. There are just too many real world reason why Mars wouldn't be "a habitable planet much like Earth." Based on the premise you've written above, using a different planet, further away and as-of-yet not discovered (in reality) shouldn't be a big...

I'm about to submit my latest short story to the Writers of the Future Contest (it has to be in by June 30th). Because of the nature of the contest, I don't want to post the story here as I'm not sure what constitutes exposure the contest officials would be unhappy with if the story does well...
