Spark My Muse for a Hundred Points

Okay you may think I'm a stingy old Scrooge. Well you're wrong. Scrooge died. Hopefully he's in heaven.

I'm Bee. And I'm uninspired. And I want you to inspire me. And when you do, I'm going to write, and then I'm going to feature my story. Which takes an exorbitant amount of points. So I have good reason for being stingy.

Anyway, it IS 100 points, so enter already.

You can pretty much enter whatever you think will inspire me (hint: I like clever, creative stories. Dont need a happy ending. Esp boy/girl stories just dont make them cliche or too long or in the format of: Girl Gets Everything She Wants Because Everyone Loves Her and She's Just Soooo Popular and Oh By The Way This Is Based Off of Me. another hint: people like that PISS ME OFF!! its like actually everyone DOESN'T love you, STARTING WITH ME!! lol thanks for leting me vent =)

Okay so the ever-present rules:

Me no likey: gay/lesbian (dont mind you as a person, just mind reading about it. doesn't float my boat), rape/crime/murder, dark/horror, sci-fi, erotica. DQ for erotica

I don't like long boring stories and no guarantees that I finish reading your story. BUT--the ever present but--I will comment on all.

No word limit

Use common sense, i.e. readable spelling, grammar, backgrounds, etc.

No sticky caps (which I have yet to see)

No email formatting, i.e. "so i went to this uber-cute store with my bff and like soooo many hott guys were checking us out!!!" Honestly, I dont care to read your emails, I have a life. Really. Don't raise you eyebrows like that!!

I do want to read your stories however, so post!!

And by the way, if you think I'm being mean, I'm really not. I'm just bored and in a mean mood. So I guess I am being mean. But in the nicest, most well-meaning way. Okay, enter!!

xoxo

brownie points for humor...like really funny, random stuff!

brownie poitns for creativity/originality. I LOVE that! (=

brownie points for writing about someone or something involving the arts: acting, dancing, singing, musical theatre, instruments, painting, etc etc. sports are cool too, long as the story's not all jock-y

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 20, 2007
  • Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 95, Bronze: 95, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    All of you failed!! Not a single one of you sparked my muse! *growls* Just kidding. I just wanted an original ending to the contest. (= I enjoyed reading all of your stories. To the winners...you already know you're good. (= To the honorable mentions: in m head, you were winners too, but Storywrite made it not to be. (I do realize the grammar in that sentence is screwed)

    Anyway, enough. Thank you all for entering, I'll remember every single one of you when I'm famous! At least the winners (=

    How's that for originality?

    I have a story, but I only have one chapter of it. It's going to end up being a long story, so yeah, but I think that the first chapter is pretty good, so could I enter that?
