Autumn Leaves:The trees are shedding their leaves, russet-coloured and beautiful… err, no, they get under your feet, make you slip and clog up the drains. This is for either fiction or non-fiction pieces on the subject of autumn, endings, afterglow, nostalgia – anything that suggests the inevitable passing of time. Again, it doesn’t need to be dark or poignant, though it might be. It can best funny, sad, surreal, horrific, nightmarish, span an hour, a day, a year or a lifetime. It’s all up to you. 31st Ocrtober

Write up to 500 words on a subject of your choice. What’s getting your goat? Making you think? Making you angry or excited? Put your spin on an important subject or something trivial – anything from Jordan the place to Jordan the model. A news item; a person; something of interest to others; a travel piece. Anything that takes your fancy. It can be in the form of a report, an essay, a comedic piece, a train of thought, an argument – anything that hangs together as a whole piece of work. The usual rules apply, so please read them (ignore the ones about payment rules, obviously).

For this competition there are two extra rules: 1) Give your piece its own title (which must NOT be ‘Spring Break’!) and 2) include the title of your piece in the ‘subject’ line of any email entries.

The only other proviso is that your work must not be defamatory or libellous in any way. Anything that could be considered as such will be disqualified. Otherwise, Happy Writing!
