Monopoly makes it real - submit stories - 18+

[calpot]

Taken out every proper name - even Melbourne and Victorians - had to use words like city and country - can't think of another way to write it given they're looking for unique ideas. Tried writing to info@.... and it didn't get bounced back so maybe it'll work.

It is a great comp but I hate comps where people have top VOTE  your entry the best!
I dont have many online friends  at least enough to make it worthwhile.

[calpot]

I found it!!!!! apparently "medical treatment" is my forbidden phrase.

I agree about the voting but at least they'll read the top 75 themselves and make a decision based on creativity, imagination and uniqueness of the story (25%)
Persuasiveness of the story (25%)
Consistency with and embodiment of the spirit of the MONOPOLY brand (by this we mean references to the game pieces, the characters, the rules, or related elements of the MONOPOLY game) (50%)

Good luck with writing your stories.

omg whatever where you thinking putting such rude words in there - think of all the children that might have been damaged by reading that

methinks their censor is a little too fussy

[calpot]

Methinks so too.  Hope someone here will vote for me after my great effort - must have changed it around a hundred times.  Mine'll be the one about offering my new b&b to people needing shhhh medical treatment shhhh near the city and having the Monopoly prize cover the costs .. when it finally gets posted on the site of course!

... as a matter of interest, which do you think was my obscene word? "medical" or "treatment"?

I'm very suprised to see most of the entries are playing the sympathy card, you don't really see that very often. I wonder how many of them will get through

[curiost]

i've done a couple, works all fine with me!

[calpot]

And now another problem.  My husband's been trying to register to vote for me and we keep getting sent back to complete things like email address but there isn't a box for that on the page.  Anyone else having problems registering new voters?
