In light of Curtiss Ann's recent post about Twitter, I thought folks here might be interested in this fun little contest:

BookViewCafe.com is holding its very first Twitter-Fic contest!  The task:  To write a complete story incorporating the contest theme in one tweet (126 characters or fewer).  The prize:  An autographed copy of Pati Nagle's brand new release THE BETRAYAL.  The judges:  A crack team of noted authors: Pati Nagle, Jennifer Stevenson and Sarah Zettel.  Stories will be judged on creative use of the theme and the medium.

The Theme:  Elf meets Vampire

The timeline:  The contest opens at 9 am EST Friday April 10 and closes 9pm Sunday April 12.
