yeah thats a good question as the articles will be published on my clients site. if you could make a post here to tell me that you have sent a PM that will be great.
If my client doesn't like it I will post it with feedback to give everyone a chance to submit better ones.
I also would like to say you can submit as many times as possible.
I will also update my original post.

What does bedebyes do ? what services are provided there ?
Does the story need to integrate bedebyes somehow or just have "go to bedebyes" in the end.

Have pm'ed you a second entry. Is it alright that it goes three words over? I always understood that 10% is acceptable.

Still waiting for an answer regarding what exactly bedebyes is ?
I mean I know its a website... how do I have to integerate it into the story ? Do I just say that for more stories... go to bedebyes... or I personify bedebyes and include it into the story ?

How could one write a story with less than 50 words? It seems impossible to me, that is my opinion.

Is this guy being a complete scammer? 600 posts and scamming us about this? If you're so senior, tell us the winners!

To me from the start, this contest seemed kind of fishy. How could one write a story in less than, or 50 words maximum for that matter? I tried last night, and I got to 44 words and I wasn't half way near done. I had done about 4 sentences. I hadn't even got to the climax of the story yet. I had started to get just to the rising action...

You CAN write a story in 50 words. It's gonna be short and silly.I edited the following story down to 50 words and another one. silly me ...... :D
A kitten and a puppy wanted to go play up on a rainbow. They waited and waited for a rainbow to come up on the sky. Then one morning, a rainbow appeared on the sky. They ate cookies and laughed and danced. But then the puppy asked, how will we get upon the rainbow. Then came a bird and he said i will take you the rainbow, but you must go to bedebyes after that. The puppy and the kitten agreed and the bird flew them to the rainbow. There they played and danced and laughed and had fun. Then the bird came and they all went to bedebyes. There the bird and the puppy and the kitten played and danced and sung. The puppy said "this is even more fun than the rainbow". The kitten and the bird agreed and they all danced again.:eek::o

Wow.. Just come back from holiday and checked this message..
To be honest the client running the competition is not very happy with the results. - And nobody has won.
I will be extending the competition for 5 more days to see if we get some better results.
The winner will have his article published on the site itself. bedebyes.com
The site is a baby bedding company and the 50 word cap is all we can fit on the label that will be going with the bedding.

Atleast you came back from the holiday.
Some contest holders go on a "holiday" and never come back.
