- Wednesday 1. September 2010
The Den of Amateur Writing runs on the PHP-Fusion CMS, as some members are aware. The PHP-Fusion development team released their newest edition of the system (PHP-Fusion 7.01.00) on August 1st, and I've been following it's progress since. Two days ago I made the initial attempt to upgrade, however due to a failed transfer with a locale file, some database entries were not altered correctly. I have fixed that error today, however it has erased the last two days of login information, comments, and forum posts. For more information on this update, please read the remainder of the article.

Contests will now run over a period of two months, and as a result August's submission has been extended until September 15th. So if you have an idea you haven't entered into the contest yet, enter it now!
Contests will now run from the first of a month, until the 15th of the following month. For example August's contest started August 1st, and will end on September 15th. The winner will be announced on September 25th.

Okay, I had the August contest all planned. I was going to require the entrants to take the character that they created in the July contest and put it into a scene for August. Then Fade im'd me and said, "What if someone wants to enter the August contest who didn't enter the July contest?" Excellent point.
So, here we go. Oh, and by the way, the August contest is extended into September. So I put the sample jpegs back out on Facebook. If you can't find them, I can email them to you. Just let me know.
On Facebook, there are three pics I downloaded from the web. Look for Robert Spotts in Southeastern Pa. Or you may click here: Link They are settings. You may use one of them, or one of your own. You have between 500-3000 words. Bring the scene to life.
Oh, just two small things. You have to tell the story in first person. And, if there are characters in your scene, there can be dialog. But you CANNOT participate. You must remain the omnipotent first person observer and narrator at all times.
Good Luck!

It was a hard decision, but the winner has been chosen. The winner of the July contest is...Punchingbag and his entry, Second to None.

When I’m writing I tend to avoid reading like the plague because you tend to pick up styles. The thing you dread is to open a book and find somebody’s just done the idea you’re working on.-- Geraldine McCaughrean |
