I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong 
My girlfriend is a writer, and one of the groups she is part of is running a charity event where they have 12 hours to write as many Flash stories as possible, the best of which are to be compiled into an anthology book to be sold with the profits going to the same charity.
The competition is being held on 12th October 2007.
Flash Fiction is a style of writing where you are given a prompt word and you have to write a story based on that, with a 500-word limit. It's harder than it sounds too.
This year's chosen charity is the Altzheimer's Society, which is one close to my heart since my granddad is in the early stages. As you may or may not know, drugs can already slow down progress of the disease a lot, which I assume must mean a cure is possible.
And since it can be hereditary you might also be helping me out in 50 years time! My memory is already shocking and I'm only 27. Imagine me with a brain disease too!

If you're a UK taxpayer, please make sure you also opt-in for Gift Aid to prevent greedy Government people taxing charity donations. The pigs that they are.
She's complaining that compared to some of her friends in the group, her page is looking a little sad, so I said I'd try and promote it on here a bit. She's had a few stories published by a couple of indie books and magazines and I like most of her work too, so don't worry about putting your money on a lemon
If you can afford it, please give what you can.
