"A" stands for...

Write me a short story (500-1,000 words...can be less, but not more) about your "A" word...and make sure to title the story with that word or I won't read it.

(IM me for your "A" word)

I'm looking for creativity. Originality. Anything along those lines...

Ok, guys and gals, time for rules. I'm not good at making my own rules, so I'll say that the site rules apply. My main thing is: I don't want bad grammar.

If my rules aren't followed, I'll DQ you.

I'm sorry, but I will.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 2, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25
  • Final notes:
    First of all: I loved every entry that was entered. Come judgement day (today), I had a hard time deciding who should win. I hope that, when I have the next contest "B stands for" up, that everyone will join. Again, what tremendously exquisite writes. I enjoyed each and every one of them.

      Yeah. I plan to do one for every letter of the alphabet...if "A" does good.

    hmmmm

    Can it be an 'a' word that we ourselves pick? Because I found a new word today on dictionary.com. "antediluvian." Best friggin word out there. Even better than "abulia" or "anachronism."

      Hmm...

      I guess that using this is ok to give you the A word.

      Ok...what about...Arachnophobia...or however you spell that.

    Interested

    I'd love to enter, please. Could you please give me an "A" word? (Sorry, I'm new to the site, so I'm hoping this is the IM system here...)

      Not exactly the IM system, but it'll do.
