Okay folks, it's Skyheartchaos' turn, and this one looks real interesting. This month, you have two prompts to deal with, and you must hit both.

1.) Your story needs to include some sort of natural disaster. It can be an earthquake, a tsunami, world-wide storms, volcanic eruptions, or anything else we'd consider a catastrophe.

2.) Your story must include at least three perspective characters. This means you must tell the story from the point of view of at least three different characters. How you do so is up to you.

As usual, follow the rules, and may the best writer win!

The Rules of the SSC

1. Submit your story as a thread in the Personal Writing forum. Please precede the name with the tag [SSC XXIX] so we can identify it.
2. Link to your story in this thread so we know it's a submission.
3. Include an "If I Win" prompt at the end of your submission so we can start the next month's contest immediately if you are chosen as the winner.
4. Your submission must be in by 11:59 cst on April 30th, 2012. There will be no extensions.
5. Stories must not be more than 10,000 words.
6. You must judge the next month's contest if we use your prompt. Be aware of this. This also means you cannot your own contest. You may secure the help of other judges if you so choose.
7. You must critique at least one other submission to be eligible to win. Help us all get better.

I think I'll try this one out. Within moments after reading the prompt I had an idea. Can't guarantee my participation because I am working on a novel, but we'll see, I can take a day or two (or 4) out maybe to write a short story. Note, it'll likely be very close to the word limit. 3 character perspectives requires a lot of words unless you're doing something unique.

Okay. I'll try this again. I was halfway through with my last one when an IRL issue came up. I'll get to work this week.

I half a story written, but sidelined it when interest drained, aka no posts or enteries for 3 weeks straight. I could hit it up again but I'd need an extension on the deadline or I could submit what I have. which won't work.

Since there's no entries at all, I suppose we can extend this one.

I think we should give it a week and see if anyone else is going to participate and if so have a short submission period and start a new contest, like usual on the first?

Being finals time I'm sure many got sidetracked by papers studying, etc,...

If I can get until Saturday, I can get an entry. Inspiration hit me literally just now, and as far as I know, you guys need one more entry. I know I've been saying I'll enter for like three months, but for real this time.

Feel free to edit afterwards. Just, y'know, don't expect the edits to count afterwards, yanno?

Is this contest still on? Who's going to submit? Just curious.

I second this. I would be interested in participating. I just graduated so I have time!

I'm up for whatever you guys want to do with it.

Let's just make this May's contest and continue from there?

I suppose we can push back another month, since we're halfway into May.

Make a hard deadline, and I'll try my best to get something in, this is a really good prompt, but finals got in the way.

Hard deadline is end of the month, then.

Misclick didn't alter his 'if I win', so it's currently 'your story must include a vast amount of material wealth'.

Apparently people just weren't interested in this one.

I'm in a writing mood, if this is going to get restarted.
