I spend a LOT of time on this site, and I am always amazed at the weird and wonderful things you guys have for usernames.
It would be easy to get you to write a story about your OWN username. But, we dont like easy, do we?????
So, what I would like you to do, is pick someone elses name, and use it as the title for your story! If you want to message them first, and make sure they dont mind, that would be nice, but as long as you dont write anything horrid directed at them personally, it should be OK.
Right, now for the rules!
1. Nothing more than 500 words! I want SHORT short stories here!
2. Label any adult content properly please. Let the kids stay innocent!!!!! lol
3. Make it readable please. Have a quick check for spelling and such. ( I dont speak text-chat-speak either, Im afraid. Im way too old!)
Ok, that's about it! Go and find a name that inspires, and wow me with your stories!

In a forest, no more than the width of a dream away, there lived a tribe of winged humans; Angels, as they are often called.

Im glad you like it! Im hoping to get a good few entries in this.... its no fun judging three places from, like, 5 entries! lol
Think you will be entering??? *offers jelly babies as a bribe*

*
BOOKMARK! i'll see what i can cook up!!!
-
-
Yay!!!
Mwahhahahahahah! They always give in to the temptation of sugary confection!!!!!!

500 words ... I'll see what I can come up with... my luck people will fill it up before I'm able to. curse me for writing another story atm. too many contests, not enough time lol...
-
-
Dont worry about it filling up, I will keep an eye on it and allow more entries if I need to. Good luck with the one you're writing at the moment!

Out of curiosity, is your screen name chosen after the delightful shockwave series about the little, rapping devil and the angel he fell in love with?
Because that series was AWESOME, even though the creator never updated it. Hmpth. -
-
I have never heard of that series, to be honest! But it sounds funny!
My screen name is one of the nicknames my boyfriend has for me! It was either DevilDoll or his other pet name, DevilMouse!!!! lol He is a strange creature! lol
-
-
I'll be entering soon. Yay!
-
sigh.
Many apologies for completely not making the word limit. I can only offer up the pitiful excuse that I do not possess the ability to tell a cohesive story in under 500 words. I lack the skills.
...Or, at least, a cohesive story that doesn't suck.
So to those short-short storywriters out there? I salute you! You are much more talented than anyone gives you credit for! -
-
Not to worry! I am pretty lenient about the word count. I have the same problem too, sometimes to be honest!
-
-
Neat contest- and I'll be very amused to see if anyone bases a story on my nickname!
-
-
lol, yes, that would be a fun one to do!
There are so many cool names, Im hoping for some great entries!
-
-
people have crazy assed names on here this is an awesome contest idea hope you get more entries
-
I'll have mine up soon!Snazbeautitous and wondertastical idea!
-
Erk I just noticed the word limit! O.O I had a great big long complicated plot...
Simplify! -
HOLD THAT CONTEST!
I'm half done. Two more days? Please? -
-
i extended it!
-
-
Thanks. =) Now I can take a day to edit, as opposed to entering just after I've written it.
-
-
-
I love this idea! It's so original!
Some usernames, like mine, are based off of stories my friend and I have written together...I should use her name then!
The only thing is, there is no way I can write a short story, never have been able to...and if I tried, it would probably be like 1000 words at least..
Anywho! Good readings to your contest!
H.P. (Not harry potter, no matter how many people think that!) -
-
Im glad you like the idea, i thought it would be something a bit different.
Have a go if you like, if its really long, message me. I let in a couple over the word limit already! Im lovely like that!
-
-
it has to be stories it cant be a poem?
-
Thanks so much for gold. =) I didn't really think I'd win, thanks to banal self-sacrificing-person-live-in-a-forest-in-harmony plot.
