I want some bizarre, strange, weird concepts. Make me think. I want you to come at something from an angle that I've never seen before. Or a "what if the world was..." sort of thing. I don't really care as long as it's sort of weird and makes me think.
The more bizarre the better.
HOWEVER!! There are some rules. :]
1. Spell it right.
2. Readable grammar at the VERY LEAST.
3. I DoN'T knO Wha+ DiS Is AnD d0n'T WanNa KnO.
4. Prewrites are fine as long as they fit.
5. Word limit.... keep it to a few thousand at most. You will NOT be marked down for something short. What you write needs to hold my attention all the way through, so perhaps briefer is even better.
6. Don't overdo the swearing but a little is fine.
7. Are you reading my rules?? If so throw "You're the human magic marker, won't you please surprise my eyes" into your authors notes. Also, I'd like you to tell me what you think that picture up there is of.
Hmmm... oh yeah
8. A fanfic will get no points from me if I don't know the fic that you're using. Check with me first or just don't do it. I don't see how you could do it with this theme anyhoo.
9. Don't whinge about my comments... I promise to be constructive
I will try to comment all entries.
That's it! Now go!! Let your mind wander free through valleys of the strange and improbable!! Sorry the points are low... But it's all I got.
HAVE FUN

A story I worked on for two years. Original, and very unique.
But, nobody wants to read it, because it's long...
