If a competition is worth entering, it's worth entering badly. Georgie Johnson on the Crossword Centre site had a competition for a 100-word story that started "Once upon a time there was a crossword".
The announcement and the winners can be found here.
As an example of what won't win a contest, this was my entry, an erotic novel in 100 words or less.
Once upon a time there was a crossword, his name was Gerald. It was a Thursday night, and Gerald was bored. He really wanted to go to the pub, but he was barred. So instead he went to the gym, he to work on his definition. Exercising his bulging anagrinds, a female crossword caught his eye. She was cryptic, and really knew how to work her unches. He asked her out – they bonded well, she loved to talk and he was a listener. He invited her back to his place, and soon they were checking letters. E (3,3).
