I can't think of a better judge for the this contest my friend! Best of luck, and hope you get some really fantastic entries to read!
Woah! I just left a comment on your post. What a coincidence! Definitely excited to help people become more noticed on here. If only we had this sort of opportunity when were starting, we would've gone to the moon more quickly haha!

I already commented on it before I saw this message. Good luck!
I love this contest. Here's my ENTRY. Thanks for motivating my brain!
You're inching close to 55, so be careful. Just hold off on posting tons of great work before judging concludes and you're all good. Read, enjoyed and commented on. Best of luck!
shortest thriller in history, not mine but I found it hilarious, adapted to include light:
"The last human on earth sat in a dark cabin. Then someone knocked on the door..."
Posted mine here: My Light In The Sky

Best,
Here's to hoping my reputation stays right where it is!
My entry for the week (with a bonus thrown in): https://steemit.com/fiftywords/@crossedsteems/50-word-story-contest-week-14-the-life-of-a-fly
Good luck everyone. :)
It's hard to keep below 55 rep especially with the way you write, but just hold off on blasting Steemit with you literary masterpieces until the end of the week and it's all good. Read, enjoyed and commented on. Best of luck!
I've seen you do very good post congratulations, follow me and help me please
Finally dropped my work.

Graded and replied to. Good luck!
Sir. Should I put how I got to know about the competition in my content?
Just want to know.
Yes, you should :)
Please @jedau I want to ask my question about number 5 and 6.
5 Contestant must State how they learnt about the contest, whether it was through this post or through a fellow Steemian.
6 An Article does not count only Stories and Poems are allowed.
Should I state how I came accross it in my story? I was thinking it would make the words more than 50 words. Please I await your reply soon.
Thanks once again.
@globearn please look at my entry to see if that answers your question. You don't need to say how you became aware of the contest in your story, you write it before the title of your story or if you like you could write that at the end of your story. Please accept my apologies if you have already had these questions answered.
No Problem. I already submitted. Any way I am just having fun
Sick! Im in
