The Jungle Book

Set during the British Empire, you become a naturalist (not to be confused with naturist) and travel to India in search of the skeleton of an extinct animal.

A literal take on the 'Welcome to the Jungle' competition.

Many thanks to instruMinstrel for proofreading and giving suggestions!

Great job, everybody! And thanks to the judges for plodding through about five hours of text.

Well, I guess you'll just have to read my story when it's published ;)

But seriously. If furries dressed as bears isn't your kinda thing, I suggest you stay well away from it.

Oh, and as a complete noob, how long (say you do three-four hours every week) would it take you to write a 10K word story?

Thanks for the advice, I'm not sure if I'll be able to resist slipping a couple of furry teddy bears in though...

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to this site, and was considering trying out the 'Welcome to the Jungle' noob's contest. However, instruMinstrel and I (we're siblings) are only about half way through our first story. Also, I think I'm a fair bit younger than most people here, which is why I don't normally post anything, and so my style will probably be quite different from other people's. (There's a high risk of being cast into eternal SHAME, so I'm told.) What do you think?
