Wait, is that even allowed here? I thought romantic subplots were a taboo subject...

With good enough writing, no subject is taboo.

Well, Ramadan is just around the corner so maybe we'll want to wait until that's over...

I want to read everyone's stories .

You could always read the entries from the previous contests while you wait. :)

The original draft of my story (written 10 years ago before I ever thought about Islam) had a romantic subplot which is why I was asking.

OK, well no romance angle then. I was going to take it out anyway since I am lousy at writing romance. I can write about a man's inner struggles all day. But throw a woman in there and it all goes to crap (sounds like my real life, actually).

well, i guess since we might start after ramadan, you'll have time to think up an excellent story.
and it looks like we have a lot of competition this year :)

Yeah, that inshallah will be enough time to think of something that doesn't totally suck.
 
:sl: everyone,

Yes,I also do believe it will be best to hold the contest after Ramadhan,insha'Allaah.:)
 
Yes it is,not sure if this information regarding the contest has been answered but to clarify,let's all agree upon the following:
Deadline date:
Theme:
Maximum amount of words:
 
Sounds good,what do you guys(the participants of this contest,insha'Allah) feel about the outline? Suggestions,comments and feedback on the outline are appreciated,as we can adjust the outline accordingly.
 
it's fine i guess.
 
maybe since we just got out of Ramadan, we could have a theme about that! Im pretty sure some of the new Muslims on this website would like to incorporate what they learned in their first Ramadan in a short story. Just an idea though, i dont mind the "no theme" idea
 
How about a story about "Journey to Mecca"? It could be set in any era. Follow the adventures of the protagonist as he sets out to fulfill his commitment to Islam. What do you think?
 
Ramadan and Journey to Mecca are both great themes. The excellent thing about 'no set theme' is that everyone can write about whatever they want. It's awesome.
 
Can someone please just start this contest already?
Me wants to read some stories
