You know, when writing a story for a competition, it's usually a good idea to read the criteria quite closely. Example - the AHWA Halloween competition. I skimmed the criteria... yeah, Halloween, 250 words, blah blah blah, and wrote a couple of stories for it.

I just polished up the one I wanted to send, and was about to send it when something in the instructions caught my eye:

The prize will be awarded to the entry which is judged to be the best opening to a Halloween-inspired tale.

Opening?

OPENING????

Damn, I wrote a complete Halloween tale for it! Doh!

Back to the drawing board... hmm, I wonder if Shadowed Realms would like it? ;)
