Letter from the editor

*Delight* It is that time again! Each month WDC offers a site contest to challenge paying members to engage their muses, powers, talents and imagination to potentially win a BIG prize and shine! *Starstruck*

*Leafr* For this month of October the contest is "What a Character! : Official WDC Contest" Open in new Window.! This was created in 2010.
It is a short story contest where you write a story that makes us want to root for the antihero or protagonist! *Bigsmile* Character development is the key element.

You enter privately by submitting your item to the survey on the main page of the contest.

*Quill* The entries are reviewed by a panel of Moderator or Sr. Moderator judges, who score each one according to the criteria for each theme. The panel changes with each contest.

*Badge* *Quill* The best one wins $100.00, a what a character badge, virtual and physical edition! *Heart* Second and Third prizes also win cash and the badges. Fabulous rewards.
