Ditto. This will be the first NYCM comp I don't participate in. But I look forward to reading the entries!

My literary taxidermy submission (poem) would likely qualify as a rhyming story and it took me significantly longer than six days to put together 914 words. My brain hurts just thinking about trying to do this again.

I’m definitely going to need better qualifiers for what is and isn’t considered a “rhyming story” if I’m going to consider this. Haha

If anyone can point to samples of 'rhyming stories' that would be appreciated :)

the word on the street is that NYCm has contracted Tim to post one of his from Flash on the contest page, so an example should be coming soon!

Exciting! Here is what came to my mind when I saw it (no idea if this is what they meant though): Poe's Raven, Goethe's Sorcerer's Apprentice, the Grüffalo and similar children's stories. Other ideas? I hope they'll add some suggestions to the genre overview.
