I have points to get rid of, so here goes. This is a contest for imaginative people. I want stories with original plots. Basically, the gold goes to the person with the most original, unparalleled plot. You're welcome to enter any kind of story: fantasy, realistic fiction, or anything else. Here are a few simple rules.
1. I'm sixteen. I don't want to read erotica. And I won't be able to click on the story if it's categorized under "adult".
2. I'm not setting a word limit. I respect you for putting effort into longer stories, but honestly, I prefer them short. I want full stories, not chapters, and I'd appreciate if you kept the words under 2,000.
3. You can enter a pre-write, but I'll be honest and say I don't give them the attention and respect of a new story. There's so many contests today, though, that you can't possibly write a new entry for every one. I'd just be flattered if you did.
4. I'll be judging you on plot and grammar. It's important to be original, but as a writer, no one will take you seriously if you can't use a comma correctly.
Thank you for entering, and have fun! I'll read and comment all entries. If you have questions, ask.
