Eight is An Interesting Number

Okay, so I want something different for this contest. If you’re already writing something for my other contest, you can either write one for both this one and that one, or you can forget this one. I think that you may like to enter this one, though, since it is different and has a wide variety for those of you who don’t usually enter my contests. I’ll be adding more points as I get more entries, so if I get a hell of a lot of entries, then I’ll be giving away a hell of a lot of points, as well.

There are going to be eight options for this contest. I’m sure that all of them are interesting, and if you find any loopholes in the rules, you may use them to your advantage, okay? I’ll still accept something if you find some kind of loophole, anyway, so don’t worry about disappointing me. I’ll read and comment on all of the entries. If you are worried about getting disqualified, don’t worry your thinking time on that, because you will only be disqualified if you break the rules.

OPTION 1: Action, Comedy and Adventure
Write me something that involves at least some action, comedy and adventure. I’ll surely enjoy these stories if you make a female the lead character, but a male lead character will be accepted, too, as long as he’s not sexist or anything like that (racist, homophobic, drug addict, etc.) The same thing goes with the lead female character. In other words, I don’t want an asshole lead character.

OPTION 2: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Space and anything else that goes with it
I love to watch movies involving monsters and time travel, as long as it’s not stupid. I also enjoy reading books by J. K. Rowling, H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke and

OPTION 3: Bigheaded Lead Character (and I don’t mean stuck up)
For this, I want a lead character that knows a lot (or at least thinks he/she does). Also, the character MUST be a badass or a very good team leader—whether it mean sports, war or whatever you can think of—and also must not be a major asshole (but partially is okay with this).

OPTION 4: Freaking Crazy Horror and Thriller
I love to read stories by R. L. Stine (Goosebumps series, Fear Street series, Superstitious, anything else he’s written), William Sleator (Hell Phone, House of Stairs, etc.) I just want a good horror or thriller story, so write me one of that caliber and I’ll surely read it, enjoy it, and comment, as well. If you haven’t read the two authors, then just write me a horror story, whatever you may be inspired by. Maybe you can be inspired by me, too…haha

OPTION 5: Sensual and Relaxing Romance
For this, I want nothing vulgar and/or stupid. I just want some real romance and something with a good bit of emotion in it. But you should also remember to make the characters talk a bit, cause that way, I can see what kind of dialogue they use. Okay?

OPTION 6: Something with Foul Mouth Animal Characters that Used to Be Humans
Well, I think the title of this option explains it all, really, so just write me something like that, if you know what I’m talking about, that is. You know, a story with a cussing Dog, that used to be a human. Make sure to put some background information in the story, as well, so I can know how the guy or girl was turned into a Dog. Fine?

OPTION 7: Gross, Very Sexual and Sickening Erotic Stories
This option actually explains to you that you can do three types of erotic stories, so just have fun with whichever one you may choose. I’m sure that I’ll probably get a few of these, so I can’t wait to read them. Make sure that there’s some moral in the story, though, no matter how long it takes to get to the moral of the story. I especially would like it if you would do this in the first person of your main character.

OPTION 8: Music That Freaking Rocks
I want a story based on occurences (real or fake) that occur between different rock musicians (male and female) and what they feel in the situation. THIS MAY NOT BE A ROMANCE OR ANTYHING LIKE THAT UNLESS THEY ARE ACTUALLY INVOLVED THAT WAY IN REAL LIFE.

Well, I hope you all enjoy this brand new contest. I think that you should all enjoy this contest because it’s different, has a good variety (which I love to read all of), but I think that you should read the rules first.

Rules:
1. At least okay grammar and spelling
2. No stupid main character (as in your #1 character) (unless he or she is crazy stupid, as in funny)
3. There must be a mention of one of the bands/singers on my page (ha, ha)
4. There must be NO romance AT ALL if you do a story for options #1 or #3
5. Gay and Lesbian stories ARE allowed
6. No one shall bash anyone else that is in the contest…I’LL DQ YOU

I WILL BE ADDING MORE POINTS AS I GET THEM...

Also, you will have a better chance if you enter a NEW story. But I'll still accept, read and comment on prewrites, as well. I just like new material, that you tried hard to write just for this contest.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 25, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 100, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    I enjoyed all of the stories. Sorry I didn't comment on all of them. I might do that later on, but I didn't have much time to comment on them since I've been busy and it takes a few minutes to think up a good comment, that is worthy of a good story. But I hope you all enter into my future contests. I enjoyed all of them, especially the one that wasn't really even titled. Hence, the gold trophy winner.

      That would be mixing three or four of the options, but I didn't say that you couldn't mix options, so yes, you can do that kind of story, as long as you follow the rules.

      No. I don't mind one bit if you do that. I think that would be really good for you to do, actually, so that you remembered the rules easier.

      You can enter as many times as you like, but if your story/stories don't go with one of the options, then I will not allow it to be in the contest.

      I think that combination would be really great, and I think that if you do one as greatly as I think you might be able to do, then I'll be reading it for sure (probably more than once).

      I usually DON'T do prewrites, because they take away the creativity of the contests, but I decided to on this one so that more people would enter.

      I was right! Already six entries in one day!

    Hey, number one, can comedy be like dry humour. Like, not slap-stick humour, but something where you see it and it just makes you laugh-sort of like Dean Koontz Odd Thomas(if you've read it)

      If you make it humor and I think that it's funny, then yes, you can do whatever kind of humor you find to be funny. But remember, I am kind of critical when it comes to stories and if they're funny or not.

      Will be awaiting your story for sure...

      Well, you can always gain points by commenting on a lot of different stories. I think that winning a contest is easier-if you win the contest-but commenting on a lot of stories is quicker and smarter, I think.

      Good luck in the contest though.
