Beeb Short Story Competition - Results Put Back
Mark Phippen
will now be announced on Wednesday 12th May.
Note that the site *still* says the results will be announced on 26th April.
The new date was only given to be after I enquired.
Anyway, I guess that leaves us more time to check out the stories at:

Actually, they've changed it now. I honestly don't think it had occurred to
them to update the page until it was pointed out that people were getting
annoyed.

with Players? So maybe they've pushed the date back to copensate for
that.

Maybe. But then 'Players' has was finished weeks ago. Certainly the review
copies went out in time for the mags to review it before it hit the shops.

used the blandest, most uninteresting chapter titles *yet again* in one
of his books. Okay, so chapter titles are not important, but doesn't
anybody think that Terrance could try to think of something more
interesting than "Attack", "Plans Afoot", "Capture", "Flight" and
"Kidnap"? I'm only early on in the book, so I'm half expecting to see
the title "Escape to Danger" soon.

Isn't that all just part of the fun?
Chris Orton
Yeah, the first or second time perhaps.

Well, I'm still finding it fun, but then I grew up on a diet of Terrance Dicks,
Famous Five and The Three Investigators (you do NOT want to know what by
bookshelves look like!).

Have all copies of Perfect Timing now been despatched?
I ordered mine a few months back, my credit card has been charged long
ago - I don't mind about the money, the cot death people are very welcome
- but could someone please tell me where my book is?

It could be worse. Just imagine, say, Terry Nation's version
of Pride and Prejudice...
"Country House of the Daleks" (a.k.a. "Persuasion cutaway")
Chapter 1. The Death of Jenny Bennett
Chapter 2. The Expedition
Chapter 3. The Visit of Tarrant
Chapter 4. The Destruction of Sara
Chapter 5. The Dalek Invasion of Bath
Chapter 6. Seek - Locate - Proposition
Chapter 7. The Piano of Terror
...or then again it might go the Babylon 5 "more pretentious than
you've had hot dinners" route...
Chapter 8. The Deconstruction of Mortgaged Houses
Chapter 9. And The Gravel Cried Out, No More Coaches
Chapter 10. Spinning In The Light Of A Deathly Grail
...or the "middle period Doctor Who" method...
Chapter 11. The Space Dance
Chapter 12. The Time Recital
Chapter 13. The Space Outing-To-Pick-Strawberries
...winding up with the "late Doctor Who" approach:
Chapter 14. Revivification of the Proposal
Chapter 15. Bloodwedding

If they are anything like mine, then they will be sagging

Er, yes, it does strictly volunteer work.
It's not in it for money.
