Can you write something short and tweet on Sex & the City? (#llsatc)

Following the marvellous response to our Blood & Thunder Twitter competition this month and a very positive response from our audience (audio here) we're doing it again.

So rules are:

  1. Tweets should include hashtag #llsatc (Liars' League Sex and the City - to distinguish it from hashtags on a certain piece of television)
  2. Stories can refer to either Sex or the City or both
  3. Stories can be of any genre
  4. You can post as many as you like
  5. We retain the right not to post all entries to this site
  6. Deadline is Saturday 7 November midnight GMT

Quick thoughts on what worked well last time:

  • Entries that managed to set place and character
  • Tweets that were more than a gag
  • Twists
  • Anything that made a virtue of brevity
  • Humour - though not exclusively

There. Get tweeting!
