Default Short Story Challenge Fantasy (Finished)

I want people to write a long short story. I am not only going to the best written but the most original. Fact is, if you have an unused plot of interest, I'll love it.

Requirements:
1. Must run through spellcheck. If I spelled something wrong in this post, don't tell me [unless you're Imelda ]
2. Must be at least 4 pages in WORD DOCUMENT not some notepad thingy. If you don't have that program, PM me.
3. Please make the font Verdana, if you don't have that then use Times New Roman.
4. Please use 12 point font, if you want you can use smaller, but 12 is the largest.

When I say original, I mean ORIGINAL, not a spinoff of another book.

Yes this challenge was inspired by the lack of originality [no one in particular, please don't take offense].

The prize is undecided as of yet, but there will be two runner-ups as well. The prize could very possibly be money, but that has to be seen.

Send it to me via email:

Elfishmoonfeather@yahoo.com

You have until August 11th to finish-- which is 2 weeks.
Please, do your very very best.

Evangelina + Imelda + Willis + Skippy

Erm ... ok. Original story. Four pages long (what size/type of font?). Fantasy. Run through a spell checker. I can add that one rule, right?

Just so you know someone's shown interest, I'll try to come up with something.

EDIT: xD I didn't notice Isis had already entered.

Haha Raist, don't worry, I'm not afraid that no one will enter.

And thanks Isis, I'm excited to read your work.

Even though Imelda's judging too, please still send it to my email--it'll just be easier that way.
