Contest Ten Minute -or less- Entries (You have ten minutes, don't ya?) by Taylor Renee

Alright. Couldn't think of a title. And it probably will only take you a few minutes to enter something

What I want is this:

One to ten sentences.

That you write right now.

That meet the following guidelines:

1. I don't want this: "So me and my boyfriend went to the store the other day..." Bla, bla, bla. I don't really care. I want something deep, maybe spiritual, something that will make me cry, or smile, or get that funny feeling in my tummy. Actually, I'm making that a rule. *You'll see in a moment*

2. It has to be, obviously, one two ten sentences. Maybe a general statement, maybe a teeny story. I don't care. But make sure you watch #1.

2. I want you to enter as many times as you want. BUT READ ALL OF THIS CRAP I'M WRITING HERE!

3. (Hmm...I do not think I can count.) Anything you put in there that can make me think, smile, cry, whatever, will help you tremendously. Good spelling's a cool thing. Big words will prbably help you, along with imagery & desription, et cetera.

-♥-Rules:::-♥-

A. Okay. No adult categories. No erotica. Period. Thanks.

B. In your author's notes, please put something with one of the phrases: "Your Gardian Angel," "The Best Damn Thing," or "Keep Holding On," or your favorite book. For no apparent reason.

C. Dude. If you're going to give me something NOT...deep, inspirational or depressing or SOMETHING a could use a big word about, don't enter. It has to be something BIG.

D. Please put your gender in your notes! ((Metaphorical & clever sayings make me happy!))


That's it, I suppose.

Enter away.

P.S.: Stuff that interests me personally will probaby win. Asking me questions about things that effect me deeply wouldn't be a bad idea. I am approachable, maybe even friendly, believe it or not

P.P.S.: Points will prolly go up. But if you're in this about the points, I don't think I even want you to enter.

Contest is Over

  • Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 4 people
  • Final notes:
    Wow. This was an absolutely amazing contest.

    Let me say; it was VERY hard to get the seven finalists I have. For those of you that made it that, congradulations. You did AMAZING.

    I love a lot of the other entries, as well.

    And now: my confession. I am horrible! I know, I know, guys. I did NOT comment on every entry. I know, I told you, I'm horrible.

    BUT, I did, of course, read each one, at least twice. So. If you'd like a comment, no matter whom you are, you can just message me. Tell me what your story's name is and I will comment. Sorry for not automatically! But the comments usually take longer than reading the entries

    So anyway. Congradulations to EVERYONE, especially the winners!

    Be sure to enter my other contests!!!

    xoxo
