OK, I'm going away to the Gaeltacht on Tuesday, and I wanted to read some great stories before I left. So I decided to host my VERY FIRST contest and see what comes in! 
So here's the thing. I'm leaving on Tuesday, and I won't be back for three weeks, so the closing date will definitely be June 29, with no exceptions.
RULES:
1. No erotica. Firstly, I'm only fourteen, so I can't read it, and secondly, I don't particularly like it.
2. Min. word count is 600, max is 3000. If it's a little over or a little under that's fine, but don't try submit something that's 6000 words.
3. Prewrites are allowed, but huge brownie points go to new writes.
4. No chat speak or typing lIkE tHiS.
5. Please label everything correctly and remember that I can't read any adult content.
6. No fan-fics. Sorry, I'd prefer to read about your characters, not someone else's.
7. Gay/bi/les is allowed as long as it's tasteful.
8. Comment on at least one other entrant's story - it's the nice thing to do!
9. Put your username in your AN.
***If you fail to follow these rules, I'm DQing. No pleading and saying you didn't know - if you want to enter, you have to read the rules.***
Now, with the rules out of the way, here's what I want you to do. Write me a story. It can be about anything you want it to be about, as long as it fits in with the rules.
BROWNIE POINTS:
- Romance (HUGE brownie points for this if you can make it good)
- Supernatural Romance
- Vampires (if you can create your own, that is. No rip-offs, please)
- Good character names (I'm a sucker for great names)
- A good plot
- Believable characters
- If you can make me love your character
- If you comment on one of my stories/add me as a friend
That's it, so go on, enter, have fun and good luck!

I entered your contest with the story A Game Called Middle. I commented on the story Perfection entered by tonialoise. Thank you.

Darn, sorry I missed it. It was at the bottom of the top 75 featureds. You probly might want to remove the feature from it and save yourself a few points. I didn't realize it was a contest rather than a story.
Too bad I missed it, it looked very interesting
