Tell Me The Truth About Love (Actually, They Seem Keen You Submit Fiction, Probably For Legal Reasons)

Don't know if this has been more generally announced, but The Times is currently running a short story writing competition.

It doesn't seem to have a specified name, but the feature it springs from is called 'Brief Loves', and the entry requirement is that you write a 300-word love story - examples of stories by established authors, and the invitation to submit your own story can be seen here.

They don't give a closing date, and the prize seems to be publication in the Times, but it's only 300 words and you can e-mail your submission, so it's not exactly a lot of hassle to enter.

I think I'll have a go - what about you? Do let me know...
