Super Story of a Picture! Win $25!! 1st entry in!

[Overlord]

Tome City proudly announces the first ever Super Story of a Picture writing competition!  


Competition Entries:

Entry 1 - Mage Crossing. 30th Dec 09




How to enter, rules and all that jazz. Please read carefully

The rules and so on are just about the same as a regular SoaP, but this time the winner will walk away with a USD25 prize!

1. Look, Write, Submit.

Below this entry a picture will be posted.

Look at the picture and write a short story (max 2010 words) which, at some point, the picture is a part of.

For example. If the picture is of a man jumping through a window, then you can write a story where a man, at some point in the tale, jumps through a window.

In the story you must describe the picture and it must match the picture pretty much exactly.

When you have written the story, PM it to me!! Do not post it below!

Once the competition is closed, the story will be thrown open to the vote.  

Please keep comments to a minimum in this thread whilst the submission phase is underway.

There is no entry fee for this competition.  The winner will get twenty five dollars US (via Paypal only I'm afraid) or as much as a prize in equivalent Tome stuff that I can manage.  

You may enter as many times as you like!

The competition will be closed when I think there's enough entries, or the end of February 2010, so plenty of time!

Entries should be checked carefully and formatted properly before submitting.  I reserve the right to reject writing that I believe is not up to standard!  

Entries that are above the word limit, or don't meet the picture description well enough will also be eliminated with extreme prejudice.  

Entries will be posted exactly as they are submitted.

Entries may be of any genre except explicit pornography.  Erotica or other mature content is probably acceptable.  The Overlord will make a judgment on any borderline material.

All entries must have been written by the submitter, and may not have been posted on Tome previously.

All entries are PMd to me so the authors remain anonymous to reduce prejudice in the voting.  Any author revealing him/herself as a contestant will have all their entries disqualified.  

All submissions remain the property of the author.

By submitting an entry the author agrees to these terms and conditions.  The contestants also agree to have their submitted work published in this thread for the duration of the contest.

The Overlord or a non-interested third party will break any tie.

The Overlord's ruling is final.  

Rules may be added to or adjusted with no notice except the one about submissions remaining property of the author.

Here is the picture!

“Damn it Heather, I didn’t intentionally cheat on you, I was drunk, very drunk!” Shouted Jack, from his position on the mantel above heather’s fire place. Heather had walked in on him and Lucy kissing. She’d transformed Lucy into a flower arrangement, including what appeared to be orchids. Then she’d picked up picture frame and trapped him in the picture frame. That was one of the major disadvantages of your girlfriend being a powerful half-elf mage, you didn’t ever cheat on them.
“Heather, baby I still love you! Don’t leave me stuck in this picture frame.”
Heather laughed, but there was not joy in that laughter. She was standing 4 feet away, totally naked.
Damn, thought Jack, if only she hadn’t sealed him in this picture frame with his fingers stuck out either side of his face,  he’d have been able to reach his…
“OW!” he screamed. “What the fuck was that for!?”
“Having perverted thoughts about me you fucking bastard. I loved you, you cheating fucktard.” She screamed Heather.
“Damn it woman get out of my head!”
That was the thing about elves and half elves they could invade your mind with ease. He was amazed she hadn’t figured out what was going on so…
“OW, Dear gods, what the fuck Heather, what the fuck is it with you and electrocuting me?”
Heather grinned evilly, but tears stained her face and welled up from her eyes.
“So this has been going on for a while then? How could you do that to me? I trusted you, I didn’t invade your mind before this because I didn’t think you were… were… were doing this, you bastard. You could have had the decency to break up with me before moving on to the next girl.” She broke down then, sobbing uncontrollably.
Well that was just typical, she was over reacting, it had just been a little fling, he needed his piece on the side.
He screamed in agony, this time fire licked hungrily across his face and hands, not electricity. The flames burned him for several more seconds before going out.
Heather cried even more as she turned and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her. She emerged from the room she was composed, but there was a black look in her eyes, she stalked across their flat and out the door.
“Well this is shit.” Said Jack.
He tried to form a spell that would get him out of the picture frame. When he did think it up he cast it. Nothing happened, damn bitch had put wards up. He hadn’t attempted it whilst she was in the room because she was far more powerful than him, as with all humans, he was not a particularly good mage, sure, he could cast some basic spells and by human standards he was quite powerful, but even the weakest of half-elf mages was a good match for him. Heather was not a weak half-elf mage by any stretch of the imagination, in fact she was the most powerful half-elf in the college, only a few true-elves and the masters and mistresses of the college were more powerful than her. He knew he’d exhaust himself attempting to break her wards far more quickly than she’d exhaust herself maintaining them. Damn it why had he decided to cheat on her? Now he was stuck in a picture frame quite possibly indefinitely and it was damn cramped in here. Well at least she hadn’t bound him in here with any of her… Well shit, he shouldn’t have thought of that one, now she’d summoned a group of sprites to harass him and he couldn’t do jack-shit. Well might as well make the most of a bad situation he thought.

Heather strode along the corridors heading towards her lesson, this was fire training, here she would learn of the aspect of fire. She was in her final year so was now learning the really advanced things like how to control a fire from a great distance. This time though, it was a lesson dedicated to a test of control over fire, you had to walk through a furnace set to several thousand degrees, yet remain un harmed by it. She’d leave the bastard in the frame for several more hours yet, then throw the frame with him still in into one of the class rooms, let someone else figure out a counter spell. As for the girl, Lucy, well she’d undo the spell in as soon as the test was over. Let Lucy free, place an illusion over the picture frame so she couldn’t see Jack and use a mind spell to make Lucy forget that she’d been transfigured. She smiled and walked into the furnace.

I've had several late enquiries about this competition, so I'm going to extend the entry date until the end of March, but no more!

Please remember the entries are supposed to be anonymous, so just PM me your shorts! 

Happy writing!
