Okay, as the title say, I want to help. There are too many people who are suffering by sorrow and pain out there. For me, I used to be a really pessimistic person, and I thought that there was no happiness in this world. So I know how horrible it would be if you are alone. Thats why I want to create this contest and try to help you.
I want a story about your problems, or others people's you know. You can simply tell their own stories and what they are struggling. I will try to help you and leave comments.
Don't understand? Here are some examples:
1: You can write a story about life of the old, the disabled, the poor and the unemployed. Like how they live in the bottom of society and how they suffer from their poor living conditions.
2: You can write a story about your own problem. And you absolutely don't know how to deal with it.
3: You can write a story about other people, who need your warm hand, and then you want to help them and let them out of the troubled water.
4: You can ask me if you are not quite sure with your topic. It all depends on you. Good luck!
-All stories will be commented. I love giving comments.
Rules:
1. Minimum word limit: 300 words. Maximum word limit: 5000 words. Story only.
2. I accept pre-written stories.
3. No erotica or violence.
4. Please use appropriate language.
5. No swearing.
6. Try your best to keep it as grammatically correct as possible.
7. Sorry, no fictions or novels. I don't have enough time to read them.
8. Only 1 story per person
Remember: Offer your warm hands, let the needy have a ray of hope and find life meaningful.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
I hope you enjoy it. Have fun!

You don't think it exists. You think if I try hard enough, I can will it to go away. If I clap my hands, fairies appear. It doesn't work.• Commented on by judge. Prewrite [remove]

...are you in my group, "I Want To Help You"? Because it's kind of perfect...
-
-
Thankyou. And Yeah, I am in the group.
I am just kind of bored these days, so I created this contest. 
You can enter it too if you want. I want to read more about people's life.
-
-
Oh okay haha I was just too lazy to check the members list. But I'll enter if I feel like it.
And I hope it doesn't happen again, but my comments keep on copying themselves...gah. -

I would be appreciated if you enter the contest. Thanks again!

I wrote my entry a few months ago, but it's still 100% accurate to right now. A new entry to say the same things seemed kind of pointless to me.
-

Um..maybe you can try to change some parts of your story. When I write something similar to my previous story, I will change the way I develop the story to express my feeling. For instance, you wrote a story about your life in first person, But now you want to rewrite it, you can try to write it again in third person. It always inspires me many important things at the same time. Even though the contents are the same, it gives the reader a different feeling. You can try it.
Or
if you find hard to rewrite it, you can give me the original one, it doesn't matter to me. I trust that it is a good story.

Sometimes a thing needs to be re-written. Sometimes re-writing it would only obscure, dilute, muddle it. I re-read it before entering and decided the latter was more true in this case.
If I wrote the emotions and such in it in third person, anyway, what you'd get is not the kind of entry you want for this contest.
EDIT: After thinking about it, though, I can take a shot at it if you really want me to... -
-
Um..you are right. It all depends on you, cause I don't know what's your story about, so I can't give you an perfect opinion, but still, I will try my best. Feel free to enter it. I am glad.

I don't have them but I would love to help out if there's anything I can do

Sure! You can leave comments! I am glad!

I shall make a point of doing so

I have a story written that I want to enter, but it has a little bit of swearing. It's minimal though, it just adds to the effect of the story. Should I rewrite the story and use substitutes for the bad words, write a different story, or just enter as is?
-
-
Um..its okay, you can just enter it. I don't mind it. Go ahead. Thankyou.
-
-
Wow...what a selfless gesture! Most people are so self absorbed that they could care less about what's happening around them..most people could give a rat's ass about other peoples pain, so to me it is very refreshing to see some one who actually has a heart. Cudo's to you.

Thankyou. I wanted to host this contest because I have gone through some obstacles recently either, and I know how horrible it is when hard things come over us. I just wanted to learn more from their own stories and give them suggestions and make them feel better. Once again, thankyou.
