Madness and March Writing by

As the title suggests, I have finished a short story for the March Madness contest (my "Madness" is signing up for the PPC in the first place). This is set in my own world, hopefully explored further soon, and imagines what the effect of magic would be on crime. I hope that it is well-written, and that you guys like it! I have uploaded the story here. Yes, I know that it is on FictionPress, and that that site is very similar to the Pit. Please don't complain. Neshomeh, if it's all right, I would like the beta reading. Don't stretch yourself too thin, though! And just for clarification, entering it here will not prevent me from using my story for my permission request, right?

If you could send a copy to my e-mail address (exswyzie14 [at] yahoo [dot] com), it will ensure that it doesn't get lost. It could be a while before I get to it, since I intend to do the prizes in order and you're number 11 on the list. No offense!
Congrats on "winning," by the way. {= )

It is currently the only thing I have completed, and thus the only thing that can be beta'd. I really need to get writing. Anyway, there's one short story coming your way! Eleventh priority is not a problem. Really.
For anyone who hasn't gotten their entry in: you're running out of time. Get writing! -

We newbies have to spend at least a month on this board before we ask for Permission to write official PPC missions; that way, the oldbies can tell if our grammar and other writing faculties are "up to snuff," as it were. After all, we would be hypocritical in our denunciations of badfic, if our own writing were subpar.

I'm really glad that you enjoyed it! I hope that the somewhat nebulous descriptions aren't a problem for anyone. I find that I like to be able to create my own mental pictures more than trying to match them to someone else's. Besides, if I try to describe much more than the minimum required for the storyline, I wind up spending a Mary Sue-length paragraph on the landscapes. Practically everything is better than that.
