Hey TTM,
The password to the syw section is vista and western is second from bottom. Stampede! and the other stories are things I've written -- they're not part of the contest and are linked in my sig to show a variety of western styles are available for potential writers and to get some crits, too.
The contest entries will be posted in a thread in western SYW on March 1st. You will then read them, cut them down to your top three and send me your vote by PM. All details of rules can be found in the OP of this thread and is stickied in both this and the western SYW forum.
Hope this answers your questions.
Hi Harry -
I had tried VISTA but it didn't work... because I was trying to read one of the stories you had written. Duh. I was in the wrong place. But now I know where the contest stories will be posted AND the password. What else could I get confused about?! (I had read the instructions several times but obviously missed the part about where and when the contest stories would be posted.) Thanks for your patience, I promise I won't bother you again.
