24-Hr Short Story Contest

Angela Hoy andWriter's Weekly, billed as the highest-circulation freelance writing ezine in the world is hosting their 24-Hour Short Story Contest. I like this contest because they try to keep it honest by requiring writers to enter first. Then they announce the topic, and entrants have 24 hours to write a short story.
