On sundaes: A place I used to eat, I think it was the Canadian chain restaurant Swiss Chalet, used to have absolutely killer sundaes that were exactly what you describe. Haven't been there in years and with my diabetes, probably should steer clear of the sundaes even if I do go.
Comp entries: Agonize over them until the last second on the deadline or get them out as quick as possible?

In that dilemma right now. Started on the current comp. Found out it was going to be way to long for a 1000 word limit comp. Started to rewrite it. Read the first two stories of the comp. Realized mine was to tame (or lame). Now trying to come up with something for it. Usually, want to get it out of the way. Still hope to in the next day or two.
Write stories based on truth (or fact) or write totally fictional stories with no regard for accuracy or fact?
Since I mostly write fantasy and related for here, my stories tend to be fictional but truth can seep in, e.g. the used book store in Dash is based on my youthful days exploring the ones in my birthplace.
"Realistic" fiction or fantastical/speculative fiction?

Realistic fiction for sure. Stories about spirits, the supernatural, etc., are really hard for me.
Longer, more detailed stories with character development or shorter stories where the protagonist isn't as well defined?
Oh, I'm a big fan of character development, both writing and reading. That said, I also enjoy an interesting idea or clever story twist so I can be easy on that.
Lots of description or use hints and let the reader's imagination go wild?

Urban or Rural for story setting?
