Would it be possible to see a sample of a contest entry so we can see the format?

@Deadline There is no predetermined format. Microfiction & poetry allow for a range of literary and poetry styles, so one example would just be one example. You can browse this subforum and have a look at the threads called "Microfiction & Poetry contest #x - voting and feedback" to get an idea of what is possible. All entries of the previous contests are posted in these threads.

That's it for this round. Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry. I have a lot of entries this round, so please bear with me. The voting round will open soon, but probably not today. Keep an eye on this subforum and the sidebar.
