Perhaps I could write a short story comprised entirely of quaint English expressions?

I've started already. I do so hope I managed to get the "right" topic.🙄

Why not - there are plenty of those, charming ones. 🙂

🙂 I did actually bounce a story idea off my wife, who promptly tweaked it and bounced back an even better one.

I may just have to write it.

Make sure you give her a mention in your acceptance speech. Oh wait that may be a wee bit premature. 😲😉

Would it need to be restricted to just one, or could we write multiple, striving to use the extremes thereof?

Ponderable, who will be running it, says "free topic." See page 3.
Actually you are quoting my quote of vanderveldes rules last year.

I did state the topic "emotions". This I did as I read that some guidance was wanted.

Actually point 5 of my post stated maximum of two entries per participant. We don't want you to carry all the medals 😉

There are many good writers here. The entries usually are so different so it is really hard to say which one is better than the other. Look forward to reading all of them.

I think a collaboration would be two or more people actually doing the writing. The contest has traditionally been a solo effort. Ideas, though, can come from any source. An idea is not a story until molded and polished by the writer.
