      Hi Ness,
      We weren't intending to do online entries because of collating entry fees, but my friend has Paypal and has kindly offered to sort that side out. You will have to submit two attachments, labelled 'Ridiculous' Story competition, one with the story and one with the contact details so that it can be judged anonymously. Paypal krock@toucansurf.com

      Good luck!

    Hi! Your competition details have been circulated round my writing group and I have been asked to clarify that while any genre except horror is acceptable, the period must be the Regency period. Is this correct? Thanks.

    Hi Margarita. No, you are not restricted to the Regency period, though it would be nice if some stories submitted were set in that time! It's great that your writing group have taken an interest and I look forward to reading your entries!

    Good luck! Heather
