The Strange and the Surreal

I want beautiful lands and their strange inhabitants. None of your usual fantasy/sci-fi fare with elves and dragons and aliens done to death. If you really want to use high fantasy,I want strange elves and dragons that actually breathe fire and aliens that are...well, weird and unhuman-like; I want something so unique that I can really say it's otherwordly.

The winner of this contest gets 500 points+spotlight nomination+stalked by me forever.(Haha, no seriously ask some of the writers around this site)

Condition

i)It should not have been read by me before
ii)Punctuation and spelling must be good
iii)No word limit-if I find your story boring I'll move onto the next one.
iv)Stories promoting drugs and gambling, having excessive violence and gore, and containing erotic materials are not allowed. Storywrite won't allow me to read stories labeled adult.

    I entered a story that had been in one of your previous contests, but you did not leave me a comment, so I will assume you did not read it. If you want another story, I'll enter something else.

      This person didn't comment on anyone's story...makes you wonder if they were read at all, of if ALL of them were read.

        Um, I'd already read and commented some of the stories before hosting this contest...I can't help it if the contest still shows it as 'Viewed by judge'

          Ah, so you only read and commented some of the stories. The end of the contest seems a bit biased then

            Well...I know I should have commented on all the stories, but my mother currently wants me to use the internet for the shortest time possible and pay more attention to studies.(Exams coming in three weeks) I would have judged it properly had my internet connection been working properly, but it wasn't. It was just a spate of bad luck.
