FORWARD: Hey guys, this is my first contest so go with me on this. I hope this is 'write' up your allies! *sorry, couldn't resist the pun*
Well, the title says it all, really. I want the summary of the current novel your working on or have finished that's posted on this site!
I need to read some new works, and if I think yours is interesting, I'll go on with reading your novel!
Rules/Guidelines:
1. Keep the summary short. Beleive me, you'll know how short it needs to be, so I won't set a word limit, but if it's over 1000 words or something that extreme, that will count that against you.
2. Make it cliffie. I don't want you to give me the WHOLE jest of your novel. Just set the scene, and then end it on a cliffer note. A question always makes me want to find the answer.
3. In your author's notes, I want you to post the link of your first chapter. Who knows? I may check it out and leave a comment.
4. I don't care if there's violence, profanity, or erotica. Doesn't really make a difference just as long as the plot's good.
5. Origionality counts. I'm big on origionality. If you're writing about something I've never heard of, then you'll deffinately have my interest.
Extras!
I would like these kinds of stories, if you have them. If not, still post! I WILL read your summary regardless. These are just a couple things I'm looking for!
1. A little romance. (never hurt, right?)
2. Action (yeah, I'm a die-hard kind of person)
***
Thanks if you're going to enter the contest! Give me your best story!
Now go! Enter!

I think I'll give this a try.
-
Dang, you've already read my main novel. I have another but It's only about three chapters...
-
-
The wolf one? Already read that one too lol.
-
-
Yeah, I have a synopsis sans ending for it though. Should I enter that?
-
-
Yeah, it'll give you publicity or... What's the word? I'm not sure. It'll probably make people interested though. This is what my contest is about, to get people to check out other's stories.

Do you mind if it isnt on the site?

I've already gotten several that aren't on this site. I don't reccomend it but if you want to, go ahead.

Does it HAVE TO be a Summery?
I suck at making a Summery! I give away too much!
-
-
Maybe an excerpt from your story that's really cliffie would surfice for me.
-
-
ok so my first chapter isn't up yet, does that matter?
-
-
I suppose not. Go ahead if you think I'll love it. Take a risk and I'll make a nice comment.

Hello
Er, my entry is actually just a synopsis, and doesn't really have the first chapter yet, so... yeah, you can DQ it
