For this contest, I would like a story featuring the person in the photograph. You can make her into whomever you like. Where is she? Why is she there? What has happened to her? Is she lost? Waiting?..... you get the idea 
Pre-writes are allowed if you have a story with a character you think could be this person.
Any style and genre is fine, I just want to see what you guys can come up with! She could be anything you want!
Please label any adult content appropriately though.....
Please not too long! Up to about 5000 words would be the upper limit, although a few over is fine.
Thanks and good luck!
Oh, if I get less than 5 entries, I am going to close the contest, just because it wont have given me enough entries to make a varied judgement. But, I hope to get enough entries!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 5, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 250, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50
- Final notes: WoW! I have to admit I am amazed at how much of a success this contest was! Thank you all so much for the wonderful and varied entries.... I loved them all, and judging was difficult.
My winners were picked because they all spoke to me somehow..... on a personal level, and an emotional one. The characters were real and I could feel what they felt as I read.
Thank you all once again for making this contest such a success!

That was my third guess- first was "up on the cliff looking out over the North Bay" and second was "the old South Bay Pool changing rooms"...

If we entered something in this, is it okay to reply to your comment? Or would you rather wait until the contest closes so you won't see who did what?
-

I really dont mind people responding to comments at all. I will always judge depending on the writing, rather than the author, so it makes no difference to me. I also find it interesting to get feedback from the authors as well!
