Contest Not your average princess (A contest for anti-heroes) by Unpredictable Lover

Tired of stories with pretty princesses, damsels in distress, knights in shining armor and supermen?

Fear not - this contest demands for stories that have butt-kicking heroines, damsels that need no saving and heroes that are flawed. We're talking about characters that resemble real people.

So if you have these stories... go go go and join!!! If you please us enough, we'll increase the points. Also, we may or may not give honorable mentions. Depends on how lazy we are ^.^

Rules:
1. Obviously, my co-judges and I want to keep our brains in check so please Do Not TyPe LiKe ThIs or Lyk ds or LyK DiZ...

2. Please do not attack any religion, race, etc..

3. Stories ranging from 500-5,000 word counts, please?

4. Use proper grammar and punctuation - we will stuff commas, periods, etc up your noses if you do not use spell-check

5. Just so we know you really read the rules... put STRONGHOLD in your author's notes (for prewrites, if you don't want to edit your works, put STRONGHOLD in the comment thingee of this contest)

Enjoy
