Hosted by the Crime Writers Writing Hole:
What: A short piece of fiction, limit 25,000 words, in the crime/mystery/thriller genre. Must be in first person the whole way through, only one character speaking. Here's the catch-the character speaking has to be one of the villains, or badguys, or whatever you want to call him/her. It has to be titled, have a beginning middle and end, and follow Freytag's pyramid, at least roughly. IN THE TITLE WINDOW, MAKE SURE TO WRITE CWWH CONTEST-YOUR TITLE.
Who: YOU! Post to as many groups as you like but IT MUST BE POSTED TO THE CRIME WRITERS GROUP.
How: Entries will be judged on CREATIVITY/UNIQUENESS, CHARACTER (the one you're writing from the POV of; believability, etc.), PROSE/STYLE, and RATINGS/COMMENTS.
Why: Just because. It's fun to write, read, and vote.
When: Entry deadline is Dec. 25. Voting ends Jan. 31. Winners will be notified in February as well as announced.

"Must be in first person the whole way through, only one character speaking. Here's the catch-the character speaking has to be one of the villains, or badguys, or whatever you want to call him/her"
I think this is worded very clearly [couldn't be more clearly written] that this must be written first person point of view [or with the "I" voice speaking]. But I just wanted to make double-darn sure that it can't be written in third person, limited to the villain's point of view -- [that every nuance of the story is filtered through his thinking and actions]. Thankjs.
