You read the title, didn't you?
Okay, I'm a horrible person. I know, I know. Really. I do. But I need another contest. Sorry.
I know I said I wouldn't do another contest till I had every one judged....but I only have one left to judge! lol! So no worries.
Now. For this contest
I officially state I am stealing this idea from Nailie. Black Dragon14.
What I want is for you guys to find the hidden message in a stanza I write and write a story or poem about that hidden message. Get it? Good.
But there's a catch. It has to be LESS THAN FIFTY WORDS!
Hah. I'm sooo horrible. I love it.
Yes, you heard me. Your work (it can be either a poem or a story) has to be less than or fifty words. I know this is hard. That's why I'm doing it
So here's the stanza thingymabob that you must decode:
I know you are my friend
I know you're my lover
I know your love is true
...I have a secret.
Kay then. It should be totally easy to decode. When you decode it WRITE A STORY OR POEM ABOUT THAT MESSAGE. Clear? If not, message me
You don't have to reserve a spot, but you can if you want.
So here are the dreaded rules:
1. Have I mentioned it has to be UNDER FIFTY WORDS? ...Of course I have. I'm good like that.
2. CAN BE A POEM OR STORY, but it HAS to be beautiful. In that way I mean I want something that's poetic and heartfelt, not 'She went to the stoor and you know what happened? She ended up meeting this guy, making love to him and marrying him!!!' Got it???
3. Dude. To know you actually read all this crap I wrote, write a mini poem in your author's notes. About I don't care. Whatever you want. It could be one line for all I care
4. I don't have any other rules. Just know that I want some nice work here. I may add points later. If I feel like it. Grammer and spelling doesn't bother me much, as long as I can actually tell what you mean. Try to make the backround readable. No prewrites obviously.
5. NO EROTICA!!!! If you enter it it WILL be DQed, so don't enter it!!!
PS: GLBT is absolutely fine. I have no problem with it. But make sure it's able to be viewed by everyone, children (such as myself) included.
PPS: Here's a hint!!!
http://storywrite.com/story/110435
If you go there and read that poem and then come back here and read this verse, it SHOULD become very easy to figure out. But the whole poem isn't the same, okay? That's what I would enter into this contest...if it wasn't mine! Here's another hint: THE MESSAGE ISN'T ABOUT LOVE! It could be, if you want it to be, but it's not nessisarily!
So that's basically all. Lol, thanks for reading all that
PPPS: OKAY! I don't know if you guys get the message, so from now on, MESSAGE ME WITH WHAT YOU THINK THE MESSAGE IS BEFORE ENTERING!
Thank you!

Okay, guys.
Another hint:
There's ONE word in both my poem (the link) and the stanza with the secret message here. If you find that word it should make everything easier. Got it!??!?! -
this was a good contest
