My name is Angelica, I am one of the sly foxes.

Title: 48 Hour Short Story Contest

First Impression: I can usually write a 1k long short story in 1 hour, so this contest could be a breeze once I have an idea on what to write about. Saturday would work for me. Or Sunday. Great self explaining title and the rules are clear. I see 2010 was when the last round was held. Probably got busy? It would be nice to see this contest open again. The looks is appealing. I wouldn't change the way it is set up. The prizes are clear and then it goes into the rules. There is a fee to enter but the prizes are worth it. Since you're a senior moderator now maybe you could have a guest judge or two for the next round.

What needs your attention: No spelling and grammar errors found.

What part I liked best: I like everything about this contest. The logo image is perfect. A unique clock showing the hours and the minutes emphasizing time of the 48 hours to write a short story. The instructions is clear. It would already be started by the time I open up that email and read the prompt to write the story. But the timing would be consistent. Friday night is when it starts and Sunday night is when it ends. Sign up ahead of time is a must.

Overall impression: I love the prizes as well. Such generosity. I don't know about what you could do now since it's been 14 years ago since the last round but you could ask for help if you need to to have enough for the next round. There is organization in the rules. Signing up is the first thing. Next thing is waiting to be in the group. Then what to expect and what to do for this contest. 1k-3k is a good range for a short story. Entry is a post in the forum directly with word count at the end. I look forward to hearing if you would consider a new round. Maybe even be a guest judge to help you out. Good job and keep up the good work!

Thank you for allowing me to read your work. It has been my pleasure.
