                                    ~~RULES~~

1) No Erotica. I'm only like 12 so, I don't want to read it, nor can I. but you CAN swear. i dont really care about swearing(thats what happens when you grow up with weird swearing skaters)

2) You CAN write in ALL CAPS. i kind of like all caps, lol. AnD iF YOu WriTe In STIckY CapS, I will DQ you, sorry.

3)Your story can be from 5 words to...I dont know, a lot. If it's REALLY long though, I might get bored. i have a short attention span, so if it's long, make it interesting!!!

4) like i said earlier, i have a short attention span when it comes to boring stories, so make it good!! or at least try to.


5) YES YOU CAN DO MORE THAN ONE OPTION!!!!!

 

7) put the option you're doing in the author's notes  

8)you can enter more than one story, but like, you can't win two trophies. and no more than two stories.

 

8)HAVE FUN! lol

and now for the...

                                     ~~Options~~

Option ONE: I LOVE FANTASY!!!! So write something that CAN NOT happen in the real world. It can have some real stuff, but not too much. *hint hint, i love dragons and elves! but not short elves xp *

Option TWO: In this option, you can't have an adult as a main character, or even a sub-character. ONLY KIDS AS MAIN CHARECTARS!! the oldest they can be is 17.

 

Option THREE: Write something that is based on what you hear in the songs I'm going to list. Write like, what the song makes you feel,what you think it means, or something like that. Sorry, I'm being strict, but you can only do the songs here. I put the url of the lyrics and the music video next to the song, so watch the vid and read the lyrics.  BTW, put the song you're using in the author's notes

 

ANY SONG BY TAKING BACK SUNDAY!!! I love this band a lot!!! so you can do any song by them! Tell me what song you want to do by them and I'll send you the lyrics and the music video, if there is one.

Feel Good Inc.-Gorillaz

Music vid(really awesome! watch El Manana too, its sad): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01C4RPEinM4

lyrics: http://www.lyricz.com/gorillaz/demon-days/feel-good-inc/song-654769.html

 

I changed my mind, if you want to do your own song, go ahead. but only if  you send me the lyrics and song title and artist. I'll add more songs later when I feel like it! yay!

 

Option FOUR: I really love the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld. It's set in the future. So, in this option, write about something that's set in the future!

 

Option FIVE: VAMPIRES!!!! I also love twilight by Stephanie Meyer. so...write about vampires. It can be like Count Dracula vampires, or like The Cullens vampires.

 

Option SIX: dont tell me you didn't see it coming: WEREWOLVES. Like the werewolves from the book/movie Blood and Chocolate. thats the only kind of werewolves there can be in this option.

 

Option SEVEN: Write about Humans that can turn into a type of Animal. any animal. preferably tigers or wolves(my two fav animals) but you can do whatever.

 

Option EIGHT: make this one a Alice in Wonderland theme. I don't really like the original, but I love the book The Looking Glass Wars. So you can make Wonderland wonderous or horrid, but make it interesting!!

(a quote I made up kind of based on that: I've fallen down a rabbit whole and I'm in a dream now, it may be fake but at least it's perfect

 

Option NINE: HORROR!! I really like scary books. but only if it's REALLY scary!!! so make your story so scary that I have to look over my shoulder to make sure nothing's there.

 

Option TEN:(there's a lot of options, isnt there?) The first chapter of a book. Make it sooooo interesting that I want to read the next chapters. It can be about anything at all. But it has to be a first chapter or part. Not the middle or the end!!

 

Just so you know....

I WILL comment on everything. I will NOT give applause because that might make some people feel bad if i give one person applause but not other people.

 

IF YOUR STORY IS REALLY LONG, IT MIGHT TAKE ME A WHILE TO READ IT, SO BE PATIENT IF I DON'T COMMENT WITHIN A DAY OR TWO!

Please enter, and good luck to all you guys!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ummm.... I think that's it!!!! I might add more points or more stuff later!

Thanks(if you did) for reading the whole thing and thanks(if you do) for entering!!!!
