Hemingway Six Challenge Update (2)
As of last night, we have 517 entries. A little less than I expected at 2/3 into the Challenge. That’s like reading one 3100-word story. Yup! That’s it.

Please remember the proper format they need to be in. I am cutting and pasting your e-mails directly into one document. If your name is not on the same line in your e-mail, it’s not in the story document. And only one e-mail per day.

Here are some more “proper” examples to go by:

· “Red Mohawk. Did Ron lose bet?” by Sir Ollivander

· “Why is the Forbidden Forest forbidden?” by Sir Ollivander

· “Three-headed Fluffy is guarding something!” by Sir Ollivander

· “Ginny’s excited over Harry’s surprise date.” by LittleMissMuffet

This six-word story can be told in many ways. These are just a few examples to get you thinking.

This may seem extremely clueless, but I've never entered a contest before. How do I submit my story?

Ron Obsessed -- The method for entering this challenge is different than in previous ones. Entries are submitted via email. Details are in the original news posting for this challenge.

I am extremely pleased with the turnout. We still have a week left. Doing a computer search, I was a little surprised at how popular this format is for contests.

I can't wait to see this one end and it is going to be interesting to see who the overall winner is going to be. I'd hate to be the judges who are judging this one because they certainly have there work cut out for them. Good luck to all of you who have entered and to the judges I take my hat of and wish you all luck because you're going to need it especially since you have 517 plus things to go through.
