Once Upon A Time Project Giveaway 3

So here we are again for a Third Giveaway for Once Upon A Time. I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has participated and helped out with this.  I've yet to announce the winner and runners up for Giveaway 2 but as we are yet undecided I am hoping the post with their stories will be up on tomorrows post.

So as I've said there is going to be a change in rules.  There were a few of you that wanted to enter but your stories were too long.  So I've decided for giveaway 3, that the wordcount will be 500-7500words. I've also changed the deadline from 3 weeks to 31 days.  So hopefully that will help those of you who are stuck for time, to get yours finished.

But the biggest surprise is, all stories that are entered into this giveaway will be put into the book!! (For those of you that are wondering, I will be giving a copy of the 'Once Upon A Time' book to the winners and runners up and others will be able to buy it at the cost of the printing of the book as well as shipping) 

I will be holding 2 more giveaways after this and during that time we will get into the Cover Contest and Title Contest!!

For the winners and runners up of previous giveaways feel free to enter again.  Even if you have won a prize before you can still enter each giveaway with a story.

Also, Winners and runners up, I'd love to try and put a little biography of about 250 words or so in before each of your stories, as well as a picture if you'd like.  Just send these to my email.  You have plenty of time to do this.

For those of you that are new I've included 'What is 'Once Upon A Time'

What Is 'Once Upon A Time'?

Once Upon A Time is an ongoing project.  You have 4 weeks to email me your stories.  Between myself and two other book bloggers (who aren't submitting their own stories) we will agree on a Winner and 2 runners up.  I will then post the 3 stories up within a few days of the close off date and prizes will be sent off. (unless winners have stated they do not wish to have their stories posted)  This will happen every 4 weeks until otherwise stated.  Once there enough stories picked I will put together a book and have this published, and given away as a SUPER Prize.    I will do my best to supply each winner and runner up with a copy of this book but this may take a little time (depending on funds)  The book will be available for all entrants at the end of the project.
