Mekong Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well done to all entrants, my stories would just be just too depressing this forum does not need a Leonard Cohen of fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave32 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 All the stories WERE good, but 'doing time' packed a wallop. Author is quite good. Set it up like yet another cliched tale and then... whoa. Better than the vast majority of published short stories I've seen in Expat books. All of em were well done.

johndaysh Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks for the positive feedback on this story. It had been brewing away for a while and when the story contest was announced on my fav site thailandstories.com, and when sisteray encouraged me, I thought I'd give it a go. The 1000 word limit was a big challenge for me but I think it really helped and stopped me crapping on too much. Concision is good. I submitted a day before deadline when I knew no prize was on offer so the award of 3000 Baht is a surprise. Thanks to the donor. He or she will be pleased to know that it will used to help fund the charity publication of a collection of stories that James Newman and I are putting together, due to be released early next year. Proceeds will go to a Bangkok orphanage or "slum" school. I have had a cruise around this board and like it. If one of the objectives of the contest was to encourage new members then it has found at least one. I look forward to contributing. Cheers.
