Please refrain from posting other stuff apart from the stories for this contest till 20th December, 2009. We will be closing the lounge for general posts/rants during this time period. This is just to ensure that the contributions for this contest dont get lost and people who contribute get maximum support as well as dedicated readership. If anyone does want to notify other lounge members of a new post on their blog, please feel free to use the Shoutbox. We regret the inconvenience caused. We guess it should be a great experience reading different takes on snow . We are just facilitating the same and ensuring that your stories get read. A humble request to all talented writers here on writers lounge to try their hand and churn up a story for contest.

Writers Lounge Rocks! And you all make it rock! Cheers!!


Cheers,
WL Admin Team!
