Hello all, I'm bored
Ok, so I really beleive the biggest things can be shown in the smallest situations. So what I want are short short stories (Under 1000 words) but they need to be serious. They need to leave the reader thinking, or make them question something. They need to show a point, bring something deep out. more points and trophies will be added in time.
RULES
- pre-writes allowed, but originals get brownie points
- No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs Or InStAnT dQ
- no bashing of religon. I have no problem with religous writes, but make sure they arent bashing any other faiths.
- multiple entries ARE allowed
- because multiple entries are allowed, i need people to put their usernames in the comments so i can make sure i dont award gold and silver to the same person, etc.
Good luck all!

Wow
that is a lot of possibly entries. good luck with your contest -
I have a poem that could go well with this. Is that sort of thing allowed?
-
-
poems should really be on the sister site, allpoetry.com. ive gotten a couple of poem entries and am thinking to DQ them asthis is a story contest. im sorry. however if you link me ill certainly review it
i love poetry, this just isnt a poetry contest and i dont feel you can compare poems and stories fairly.
-
-
Is poetry allowed? And I have a chapter that would fit this contest and would make sense without the rest of the story.
-
-
no poetry sorry, this is a story site. if the chapter would fit without the rest of the story go ahead and enter it though.
-
-
What a thoughtful idea for a contest. For once, teenage writers can compete in a category of their own and still maintain the reader's respect.
Definitely entering.

hey, thanks for teh gold, and congrats to the other winners!
