CID Story Contest #9: 'No Murder Story'

Story Contest 9: "No Murder Story"

Kadardan, meharban, shriman. What the hell am I saying? 🤔 Moving on and pretending that you never read that...😆

Welcome!!! Welcome to the 9^th story contest! The title of this story contest is very aptly put the "No Murder Story", which you'll understand as you read the Contest Rules and Plot. 😉

So all you ex-, current-, and to-be-writers put on your thinking caps, take a pen, sit down, and go! 😛

And "push" gang, get ready because as you finish your stories, you're going to join me in pushing the others! 😉 😆

I know we've been having contest after contest, but come on enjoy and write away! And remember "push" away! 😉

Contest Rules:

• Your story must include at least 2 officers who are no longer part of CID. They can be anyone from any time as long as they have a good role in the story. You can even combine officers from different eras, for example Tasha and Asha or Viren and Vivek, but there must be 2 officers at least. You can include more if you like but remember that they must have a good role in the story. It can't be a one-scene appearance.
• From the current officers you can choose who you want to show and who you don't, but you must include at least 5 officers from the current team.
• There must be no deaths whatsoever in the entire story. Not even so much as the culprit's aunt's daughter's cousin's friend's sister's neighbour died. No deaths. Period.
• You can wound an officer, but please avoid making it deathly. Being shot in the arm or a wound on the head or even being knocked unconscious is fine, but nothing like sending an officer into a coma or to the deathbed.
• You can include forensics if you like, but please make it realistic. No tomato juice that reduces anxiety.
• Use English, Hindi, or a combination of both.
• Page limit of 20 pages, Times New Roman, size 11. No minimum.
• Send the story to KhotaSikaShreya by February 22^nd, 2014 11:59 PM IST. Extensions will be discussed closer to the due date.
• PM title must be "CID Story Contest". Nothing else will be accepted.
• This thread is open for discussion on the plot, questions, concerns, "pushing" others to write, and whatever else related to the contest.

Plot:

Two CID officers are at City Bank when a group of robbers come in attempting to steal in broad daylight. The two officers get into a fight with the robbers chasing them away. The team must work to find these robbers based on the little forensic evidence Dr. Salunkhe is able to find, the CCTV footage, and the descriptions by the CID officers. How does the team find the robbers? Why were the robbers robbing in broad daylight? Who is behind it all?

Wow shreya! Quite innovative! All the best all the writers! Am prepared to write strict reviews lolzz

nothing achanak. I said in the Daya bday contest itself. It takes a lot of effort to write a story. But no one except the writers(usually is just you, me, Ravi and GD) and a select 2 or 3 bother to read them.

It's not worth the effort. For me is a herculean task now with my job to take 10-12 hours off to write a story. Sitting with comp during non working hours is impossible for me. I still wrote for Daya bday contest but people are either disinterested or don't have time to read. It's not like I am idle here. There are people who spend a lot of time on GD thread but have no interest in reading stories. If people are not interested why should I waste my time?

I feel bad sometimes as well. But I'm hoping that all those people who write but never participate in contests will actually take the time to participate here. Because all our contests do well except for the VM and story contest. So this is just my small attempt to bring the writers out.

I really understand where you are coming from. I would suggest that you get the non readers to realise that there's a story contest and ask them why they don't read. Whether they find it boring or not worth wasting their precious time or what.
