Write about a guy and a girl and make it special! I don't want cheesy, romance stuff. I want something special and unique. It doesn't have to be about a couple (even though that would make me happy =) it could be about cousins, or siblings, or friends, or fiancees or whatever. Just about a guy and a girl and special.
No horror.
Nothing dark.
No crime, including rape.
No erotica.
No sticky caps.
Paragraphs must be paragraphed as well as dialog. (There must be a line of space between paragraphs and in dialog. ex:
"I hate you."
"I don't care, go to your room."
"I'll hate you forever!" etc)
Your story has to draw me in within the first couple paragraphs. If it doesn't, I don't guarantee that I'll finish it but I will comment on every entry!
Good luck!

What do you define "special" as? And when it comes to the "no-crime" rule, can there be a character -accused- of a crime that they didn't actually commit (but is cleared)?
-
-
yes they can b accused and cleared of a crime but I dont want anything graphic--like there can be a court case but I dont want anything graphic or explicit.
-
-
My story has someone being accused of a crime.
But, if you wanna remove it, it's your choice.
Then again, half the stuff I put on the Catagory listing was just to get more views... -
-
I went by the category listing because if it was crime, I really didn't want to read it. I get easily freaked out, I'm a wimp that way. If you have anything else you'd like to enter, feel free. (=
-
-
Okay, thanks, but you didn't answer my first question - what do you define "special" as?
-
-
I define special as anything unique--I don't ant anything cliche like "boy meets girl by bumping into her and helping her with books" I want something special, with depth and body, thats unique and original. Special can be anything you want--withing the above guidelines. Good luck (=
