Theme: They all work some part in a opera house

Spots

1.Merry & Sam
2.Lilliana Sparrow

I need some judges also..about 3. PM me if you would like to be one.

PM me your story once your finished and rember you dont have to write a book, it can be short.

I'd love to join. :-D

A few quick questions:
Does it have to be late 1800s or can I push it a bit toward the 1920s?
Also, is there a word limit?

This is a great idea, by the way; there ought to be more writing contests, and this is very creative. Good job, Eldárwen!

Deadline...well I dont have a deadline for this contest cuase its a writing one and stories seem to take alot of time, detail, thought and wording. Anna there is no limit in wording just dont make it super long for whoever the poor judges are. lol. Yea just late 1800's.
