BrevityQuest12 (event)

NanceMuse here, substituting for the vacationing DEB.

• The quest starts 00:00:01 Tuesday, 3 April 2012 and ends 23:59:59 Monday, 30 April 2012, e2 server time.
• We're looking for well-crafted fact or fiction, both poetry and prose; new writeups only, please!
• Post as many submissions as you wish, but remember that flooding the new writeups list is never a good thing.
• It's really helpful if you note the word count at the end of your writeup.
• After posting your writeups(s), notify me of your minora opera so I can add it to the list of BrevityQuest submissions in this node.

Bounty will be awarded at 10GP per writeup, and something fun will land into the mailbox of our "best in show" entrant. Tem42, the god-like Oolong and I will determine the winning quest entry (thanks Oolong and Tem). We'll probably enlist the help of some guest judges, too.

Need some inspiration? Check out the BQ submissions listed in BrevityQuest09, BrevityQuest10 and BrevityQuest11.
