Bakerina’s rules:

500 words, minimum.  No maximum, but no bonus points for longer sentences, either—we want sentences to be correct in both form and content.  Colons, semicolons, comma comma comma play, ellipses and dashes are all acceptable.  Endlessly repeated single words (i.e. “dorky dorky dorky dorky!”, a la Kotzwinkle) are verboten.  Magical punctuation (i.e. “ZOUNDS!--------!----------!”, a la Laurence Sterne) is similarly verboten.  I recuse myself from judging or establishing deadlines, but will gladly donate prizes.

That’s it.  Stir it up, little darlings, stir it up.

Edit:  Oh, yes.  Sweating heavily and breathing like a hard-ridden horse are both mandatory.
