Sorry for the delay replying - I've had four of five days of intensive Smallhope and Pennyroyal and didn't want to stop. My fault. We're pretty loose about the form the short story should take. The only rule is no characters from the books but, in this case, you can have David Sands himself to play around with. Just to make it interesting, you can have Rosie Lee as well and good luck with that! The story can be by him or about him - just none of the others, please. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can come up with. Happy writing!

Hi Gail,

Many thanks for your submission, which I have enjoyed and will be published in due course. We have had a great many submissions - not all will be published, but it is wonderful to see the fantastic response. The standard has been very high, and I have very much enjoyed reading the submissions.

Not a writer, but I look forward to reading the stories!

(And FWIW, the David Sands who was a wheelchair user wasn’t a writer…sadly, he died. It was the David Sands with the bionic foot who resigned and took up writing. But I support the conclusion and charity regardless!)

Hi, I submitted a story on Monday (4th August) but it hasn't appeared, does that mean the submission didn't work, there's a screening process to go through, or that it's been rejected already?

... If we can have David and Rosie, can we have Rosie's son too? *pretty please*

Thank you! Submitted (with a 'sily' typo that I only just noticed, oops).

Clarification request: A story David Sands would have written, or a story with David Sands as a character? Might have to write both!

Are you looking for stories in the St Mary's universe? I mean, do people time travel in pods and the world goes white, or do you want some other type of time travel?
