Hello readers,
This group, Adelaide Plains Chapter and Verse is growing, both in the number of members, and in terms of people who're connecting with us. Our short story competition, 'Fairy Tales Twisted Sideways' is attracting a lot of interest, from writers interstate.
As the months go on, the word will travel across Australia, and I expect the entries from all states will arrive in my letterbox. After being involved in an annual Poetry competition over the past 7 or so years, it's been interesting to see how much interest has been shown in this short story competition.
I'm not sure whether it's because more people like short stories rather than poetry, or whether it's the theme of twisted fairy tales that attracts the interest. I just know that this twisted fairy tale competition is exciting lots of tale tellers, with entries rolling in already, with months still to go until the closing date (30 June).
So, if you live in Australia, and you like twisted tales, why not have a go at twisting your favourite fairy tale! The best entries will be published in a book (free copy to all who get in the list of the best ones). There are also first, second and third prizes, with a good sized prize pool...
I look forward to receiving your competition entries!

Fairy Tales Twisted Sideways
What would happen if you took the a Fairy Tale and told it from the point of view of a minor character? What would happen if the Prince and Princess DIDN'T live happily ever after? If you love watching Grimm on TV, you might have your own ideas about how to take a fairy tale and give it a hard wrench off in another direction.
These are the kinds of stories we want for our 'Fairy Tales Twisted Sideways' competition. Short Stories (2,000 word maximum, with shorter tales looked on kindly, as long as they meet the conditions) that take a fairy tale and twist it sideways are what are needed. The judge is excited about this competition, and we're excited too!
Adelaide Plains Chapter and Verse has announced its first competition and we're so sure the stories will be fantastic, that we're going to publish the best of them. So, if you live in Australia and you love to write, give our competition a go - the best entries will be published and the writers of those stories will receive a free copy of the anthology, plus writer's of stories judged first, second and third will receive monetary prizes as well.
Entries close on 30 June 2013. If you'd like to know more, you can contact the competition secretary at jeebers@aussiebb.com.au
We have a Facebook page as well, where more information about the competition and our group appears at times. http://www.facebook.com/groups/320657958040450/
