Having listened to and read Forever Fallen. I went through my ideas and found a few of them would work for Short Trips. But a couple would. What Ive decided to do is work on one story i really would want to win and focus my energy into it, to make it the best damn version it could be. Then with each competition (If i dont win of course lol) I will pick the best Short Trip idea from my pile and work on that alone, leaving the rest to either be turned into Short Stories for books or expand into hopeful MR stories for the future

Don't over focus on writing whole stories

Don't over focus on writing whole stories I wrote the whole story last year, just because I sort of wanted to and also wanted to know I could complete the story should I be lucky enough to be chosen. It made it a lot harder when I wasn't the lucky (and talented!) winner as I was more emotionally invested.
Definitely stick to the outline and the first page - it's what I'm going to do this year.

Don't over focus on writing whole stories I know that dont worry, but I will only send them one story for the competition. Thats what i mean by making it the best story. If im not sure about the outline, it wont go in. But i have one idea, that i think will work, so thats the outline/story i will focus on

See how other people react. Just so long as you don't do it here The competitions rules clearly state: This was clarified (either in the podcast or the news article) that it should not have been posted anywhere on the internet either. Don't want to go getting disqualified over something like that

I would say so, as it's not in the public domain Mighty long private message, though

I've got an outline and a half for a First Doctor story and a Third-or-Fourth Doctor story. Still working out some kinks but I want to have a huge stack of fully formed ideas so I can pick the best one (or however many they limit us to this year).

What would be cool is if this year's competition lets you use any Doctor, not just the classic series Doctors.
