I am a fair person, as are my judges; listing your age, tribe or political inclinations/affiliations will not get you extra points, people. Let your pens, or in this case, keypad speak for you.

@theorbiters, I'm sorry you cannot retract your first submission, if you had submitted on nl, you would have the option of editing your post. Since you submitted through the mail, that is not possible. Only one entry per participant. |

Hmmm. For all contestants, here's another freebie.. Google up what "culture" means, you'll discover that it has to do with a lot more than festivals, ceremonies, beliefs, language etc...Someone is yet to wow me.. Happy writing! 1 Like |

swifayo:Ayo, ayo, ayo! How many times did I call you?? To ask for clarification over something you read and did not understand is DIFFERENT from asking what a thread is all about.. Shebi you asked permission to publicise the thread? Does it mean that you didnt read what you publicised? That means you prolly posted misinformation on your blog! Oya, pele, ma binu simi; please read the instructions then come back let's talk about the parts you don't understand.. Will that do?? |

For those of us still struggling with the word count, and understanding what flash fiction is, this should make an interesting read- anniemcmahon.hubpages.com/hub/flashfictionforeveryone @anakadrian, Lol. It takes a lot more to ruffle anything of mine..And I dont have feathers, you do. Thats why you were quacking about your work being stolen. Lol. |

@swifayo, I appreciate your boldness by being the first to submit, your story has the hallmarks of an epic script but unfortunately, it doesn't meet the guidelines. There is a theme for this Challenge. Please read the detailed instructions in the Challenge thread. You have the option of retracting your submission and rewriting it to fit the guidelines. If you choose to leave it like this, then Ill have no choice than to disqualify you because you haven't met the rules of the Challenge. Please rewrite. Thank you. |

@anakadrian, Correct me if Im wrong, but wasn't the Minority contest done the same way? A month was given, entries were posted onto the site directly by participants..with a window period(two or three days) to edit before it makes home page.. We were all able to read each other's work..for me it worked the opposite way in that, instead of copying others, I knew what to avoid and present an original and unique piece..both in terms of minority tribe and theme(comic, humour etc).. Personally, I had some issues with the moderations viz Why would works on the same tribe be shortlisted? By two different authors? Or even themes? Most of the shortlists had to do with marriage and its ceremonies or the Akwa Ibom traditions. I felt it wasnt well rounded presentation of entries submitted. Which was why I just laughed when ppl complained that their work will be stolen. Left to me, any two works that bear similarities in plot or storyline, even syntax will attract my closer attention, the work submitted last will be disqualified. Trust me, a plagiarised piece will not escape my scrutiny. My initial idea would have worked, Anak, if we all had the patience to wait it out and see it through..Bad as e bad, y'all would simply have waited till the last day, or last two days to submit, to avoid plagiarism. This new way is doable, yea, though more stressful for me..but hey, like somebody pointed out, If Ive had the patience to organise this, I should have the patience to endure the gruelling, mind boggling, finger paining and mb wasting method of hand-grinding pepper..instead of using a blender. 1 Like |
