check the rules and regulations. off the top of my head, i'd say "no - the contests are open to everyone", but i'm sure you'll get a definitive answer at the website.

Argh... I'd even have an entry for the short-short story one, if I had the money to afford an actual entry. Oh well.

e-mail me at edible_eye@********** or edible_eye on yahoo messenger. and for christ's sake - allow others to get your e-mail address off your profile so i'm not forced to begging you to contact me. stop being so secretive and isolative.

Sorry, EPS, but there were no "slashes" or spelling mistakes in what you wrote, so it couldn't be his.
