Next time anyone wants to write something long, write in a word document and then paste it. It should work.

I ate at some French place. Took the family. Nice essay. Michal. Best of luck to all who enter. Me I am more into food. Now if there was a dinner included in the prize package, Id be more spun up about it. French food is odd. Throw some sauce on something and it’s “gormet” The deserts are very awsomely sinful though. I think the french version of magic deals with their workings in chocolate.

That’s ok. Maybe you could read it on the show? But I guess that’s almost as bad.

By: Penny

I don’t know if I want to. Not because of you guys, but it is a pretty universal theme that I don’t want anyone else who may stumble upon this to read (and steal). I hope you don’t mind.

It could win! Please post it here so we can read it.

Greg just read mine and said, “It’s good. I mean it isn’t going to win. But it’s good.”

I want to run mine by a few more people before I submit it. I wish we didn’t have a word limit! It’s killing me. I understand why it’s there, but still! I could write pages, chapters, maybe even novels.

By: Michal

Michal — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:44:16 +0000

Thanks Rosie and Austin! No, I haven’t sent it in yet. I’m going to sit on it for a little while, see if anything comes to me.

By: Michal

I wish I could, I had a whole little essay written out! But it’s 100 words exactly. Do you think the wording is a little too violent?

By: Rosie

Rosie — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:03:24 +0000

I love it! If you have room, maybe go into more detail about why its controversial.

Um I think I would rather have a nice quiet dinner. London? they dive on the wrong side of the road over there and talk funny.

Though this sport has been banned at gatherings of twenty wizards or more, it remains enthusiastically conducted at many heavily attended Wizarding events.

The “Muggle” must ignore all magic by any means necessary, while refraining from performing magic himself. The game is typically played in escalating levels, which can culminate in dangerous magic being performed on the body of the defenseless “Muggle.”

Is that what you are writing about? I want to read more!
