Crimespace Short Story Competition


As a way of celebrating the joining of the 1000th member, Crimespace is proud to open its first short story competition. The plan is to run this heist every year, with the entries being crime fiction based around a theme.

To kick it off, this year's theme is 'Australia'.

How you include it is up to you. Your story could be set in Australia, have an Australian character in it, or simply mention Australia somewhere in the story. Hell, even including an Aussie cultural icon such as Vegemite will do. Entries must be no more than 2,500 words, including the title.

Get cracking. The deadline is January 31st, 2008.

Details, prizes and rules can be found here.

Cool. I may have to join just to send an entry in LOL.. Maybe I should wait to see if I can string together that many words first.

Oh wow! This is so cool! Can I do a Kangaroo Cozy with a protag named Jumper?

Glad you're all excited.

Mindy, you have to do a crochet cozy for that to really work ...
