this is a contest for those who write poetry or stories that are abstract. i love to read them and would be enthralled to have many entries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RULES:
1. no word limit... although if your story is over 5000 words then chances are i will not read it. (i get bored WAAAAY too easily.)
2. swearing, erotica etc is all fine. as long it's not every second word then i will not object to it if it is necessary.
3. Don't write me something stupid that doesnt make sense. Abstract means thinking outside the square... not making up totally ridiculous things that don't make any sense.
4. proper english, grammar, spelling and punctuation is all REQUIRED. the odd typo is fine, but if there is a substantial amount of errors then i won't be impressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOTES:
- if you have any questions then msg me or comment the contest.
- you can write about ANYTHING. as long as it is abstract; fantasy, horror, fiction, comedy, romance... ANYTHING. it's all good.
- can enter as many times as you wish.

Question:
What exactly qualifies a story as being "abstract"? -
-
something that makes me think outside the square... perhaps it is metaphorical or something from a different veiwpoint. just whatever is out of the ordinary or unusual.
-
-
idk if my story's abstract or not, I'll enter it and if you don't think it fits, feel free 2 disqualify it.
-
i dont understand, some of these arent even a bit abstract...i'm talking about the entries....
-
-
yes i know.... i dont know how i am going to judge it because there are so many entries and so many good ones yet so many that dont meet the criteria! lol
