1. This is an intro competion, so intros will judged on smoothness of prose and desire to read on. So make it hook...
2. Post your own entry, or get a Hatrack friend to post it for you using the format specified. The closing date for posting is 18th August...if you posted yours prior to this you may edit it up until the 17th.
3. Any genre is acceptable. 13 lines only...KDW has sharp scissors.
4. Judging will commence on 19th August (any timezone) and will last approximately one week. NON-VOTERS WILL BE DISQUALIFIED, so don't enter if you plan not to vote. The usual shuffling of votes will occur if you fail to vote (see previous competition).
5. You must use one of the following prompts:
a) An archeological dig on a mountain top in Peru.
b) A space-ship prospecting in saturn's moons.
c) A trading caravan travelling through a dusty hot desert.
Comments and discussions on this thread,please.

Since this ends on my birthday, I think I'll do it. The work starts the day after.

Are we doing the old "1st 2nd 3rd and Best Title" voting?
Posted by skadder (Member # 6757) on :
Yup...standard voting (and points):
1st (5 points)
2nd (4 points)
3rd (3 points)
and title (no points...)
You may start voting on the 19th August.
Votes will be tallied on 26th August.

I'll be away on holiday and likely unable to access the internet when voting opens, so please just go ahead and vote on the 19th. I will be back on the 24th to vote myself...

Does voting need to be accompanied by a crit/comment as well? I've seen that on the other challenge threads but this is the first one I'm participating in. Just want to be clear. ^_^

Looking back at the last one, it looks like simple crits on them all.

'...Adam is a cliche name...' That's rich.

Lol.
Nothing personal.
I was referring to the far-too-often-used Adam and Eve theme.
