“And the sun went down” Twitfic Challenge #2!

It was our 1 year anniversary this weekend! So, to celebrate, we have a twitfic challenge for you. Anyone can enter, all you need is a twitter account and an active imagination.

We want you to write us a story!

The theme for the challenge is: “and the sun went down” include that sentence in one of your #twitfic tweets and you will be in the running to win an epic prize*,  It can be in any genre, as long as it is fiction.  The most important thing is that you have fun doing it (not the putting your pants on your head and running down the street yelling “I’m a pink ponytailed colobus monkey!!!” kinda fun, but.. well, ok you can do that if you want, but don’t tell the cops we had ANYTHING to do with it, mmm’kay?) and enjoy an  opportunity to share your writing with the awesome twitter creative community.

Here are the basic rules

The story must be tweeted and all entries must include the #twitfic tag in each tweet.   It can be no more than 20 tweets long. At least one of the 20 tweets MUST contain the phrase “and the sun went down” in order to be in the running for the prize.  Each tweet must be self-contained; so no carrying on a sentence into the next tweet. Abbrvs r welcum so long as da meanin’s still clr & dey r rdble.

All the #twitfic entries will be showcased on this website, & there will be epic prizeness**  for  an overall winner.*

Entry closes at 11:59pm GMT Monday, 1st February. (tonight).

Have fun!!

Edited to add:

*Can we use twitpic? Yes, but bear in mind this will use up valuable space in your tweets.

*What about other links? – any multimedia; sound files, music, video and pictures are welcome, with the exception of tweet-more sites that offer extended tweets of more than 140 characters. And so long as the supporting media doesn’t eclipse the story. The entire story must be written as tweets and able to stand alone with or without the extra media. (In other words, you can’t use this as a means of extending the 20 tweet limit).

*Can I enter more than once? – Yes, if you want to enter more than one story, just post a “The End #twitfic” tweet at the end of one story and before starting another (this tweet will be treated as a page-break and won’t be counted in your tweet limit).

(further questions will be answered as they arise).

We’ve had some awesome entries already! Check out the #twitfic tag to have a gander. And we’re currently compiling them into their own special page, FOR EVER AND ETERNITY.. *ahem* scuse me, on our site for your perusal.
