As The Bee Gees once said, 'it's only words'.  But when you have Words With Friends, then it becomes a competition.  And that's when things get interesting!

Scottish Fiction proudly presents the first Words With Friends Cup.  Over the month of March, eight Scottish musicians and bloggers will be pitting their wits and way with words against each other in a knock out competition to be crowned the WWF Champion!  (Let's hope no giant panda's tries to sue us over the name!)

The format is simple.  Our 8 contestants have been drawn against each other in round 1.  The winners will progress to the semi-finals, and we will whittle those four down to two, and then our winner will emerge.  Each game lasts one week, if there's no outright winner, who ever leads at the end of the week will win.

Here's our contestants:

Shambles Miller
Carlo Acosta from The King Hats
Steve McGillivray writer for Muso's Guide & Glasgow Podcart
Brian Pokora from Trapped Mice / Loch Awe
Dave Wark from Plastic Animals
Robert Canavan from Campfires In Winter
Stu Lewis blogger behind The Tidal Wave Of Indifference
Stewart Allan from Black International
