depends on what kind it is... I've entered many on other sites, most of them hardly challenging or interesting...

Depends on length, I'll happily put together a short story or poem but not anything much longer than that.

I agree, but if it's about short storys: COUNT ME IN! And will there be an entrance fee or not?

Depends on a couple of things.

1. Who are the judges

2. What are the restrictions (word limit, theme etc)

3. Whether there ARE restrictions (hint, there must be, and more than just genre and word limit)

4. How long it would take to report back.

For some thoughts on writing contests, read the following.

Yes, I'd be interested in that for sure! I would be curious about the details, but I'm definitely interested.

I'd definitely be interested. But I don't know if I would participate for sure until some more details are apparent.

I've started a discussion about this idea also on the newly re-constituted Your Pants website.
