Well, I have yet again gone over a thousand points, so here is another one. I've learned my lesson about unlimited entries, so I'm limiting it to fifty.
Rules:
No mutilation of the shift key. I will DQ.
Entries must be between 500 and 5000 words. Nothing smaller. Anything longer, message me with the word count and I'll let you know.
Adult and errotica welcome, lable it appropriately.
No children's entries. Sorry, but they probaly won't fit a quotes contest.
Include the prompt in the AN.
I'm now allowing prewrites. Don't make me regret it. Make sure you include the quote. If it's unrelated, I DQ.
Two entries per person.
No poetry. Sorry.
Have fun!!

I recall disliking Faint and then suddenly changed my mind. I wish you had more LP quotes in here. They have beautiful songs, unlike the random romance crap most bands do.
Definitely bookmarking.
- HT -
-
I agree Tiger-Lily. Linkin Park has so many awesome songs. Love Faint too!
-
I'll be adding more quotes soon. Probably more from LP but IDK yet.
-
-
Do we have to include the quote we choose in the story or is it just for inspiration (to base the story around the quote)? And can we do more than one quote?
-
-
no need to include it. You can, but it's not necessary. If you can use more than one, go ahead, but make sure you put all of them in the AN.
-
-
Oh, I LOVE some of the quotes here. I will DEFINITELY write something when I have the time.
-
-
yay!!
-
-
Ooh bookmarked! (:
I'll try to get something written, if I'm not too busy!!
-
-
please do!!
-
-
is this a rounds contest?!
-
-
no. It may eventually become one, but I'm not planning on it. So probably no.
You know I don't have the attention span for that!! haha
-
-
Would it be possible to submit something longer than the word limit? I'm working on a story now that's approaching 6000 words that seems perfect for this contest.
-
-
That'll be fine. I was mainly worried about entries over 10000 words.
