Hello, welcome, come in if you want. For the options below, give me emotion, give me love, give me hate, just make me feel.


There are rules, but we'll save 'em until the end.

Options, options!

NOTE.
HUGE NOTE.
If you do not like any of the options below--ASK ME for something. I don't care, anything. Except fan-fics. ASK ME ANYTHING. Okay, I seriously don't bite. I just want a bunch of entries, and I realize that if I do stick to my whole option rule, I probably won't get as many. SO, ask me if you don't see what you want here. HOWEVER, read the rules.

WHATEVER YOU CALL THESE THINGS BELOW.

1)LOVE. Okay, listen, if you can write me a really good love story I will love you to death. I am a HUGE romantic, I mean, if you know me, you'll know that's the understatement of the year. This is like major brownie points, alright? You want your gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention, you know this is the right path to go.

2)BEST FRIENDS. Mmm, I prefer stories on friendships that run soul-deep (there are only a few people out there who know what I'm talking about) HOWEVER, I don't mind the whole friend-break-up storyline either. Now, if you're incredibly amazing, you could try both of them together.

3) CRIME/MYSTERY/WHATEVER. This is something that's going to tick people off. I really do not enjoy these, unless the people in the story are characters that I can learn to know. I don't want who killed who and why, I want to know about the person who's figuring out who killed who and why. Just make me learn who the characters are. Give me feeling, please.


STORY STARTERS/MIDDLERS/ENDINGS: (* = brownie points) (You may make any alternations to these, ie. she/he/I/you.)

a)Drumming her fingers over the counter, she waited impatiently for the owner of the shop to come around the back. Her eyes drifted to the window, and as she looked out at the road, she wondered if he'd look for her here. Remembering he was dead, she continued to drum her fingers against the wood of the desk. She was worried now, really worried.

* I just finished chapter seven, was really intent on reading the next chapter when my ex-boyfriend bounded into the room like he owned the world. Then he saw me. His smile faded, his bounce disappeared, and he looked away. Except I knew he'd lost whatever happiness because of my presence. I nearly choked on air, as I saw him brush off the hottest girl in our entire high school. She was forever throwing herself over guys, but this was definitely the first one to brush her off.

c) She stood in the rain, staring down the road. Had that really happen to her? Did she really lose her family? Were they really gone? Her mouth went dry. Really dry. She circled around for a couple seconds on her front lawn, unsure where to go. Then she screamed. She fell to her knees and pounded the wet grass. It wasn't fair. Tears were mixed with the teardrops of the sky, and she pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed whole-heartedly.

***d) He took another sip. Damn girl. Had to get in his mind like that. When the bar tender asked him for another drink, he asked for three, and slapped down another bill. Half-naked women danced on the stage on the other side of the room. A band was setting up in the corner. His head pounded, and a dancer slipped up beside him. She draped her arm around him, and murmured something into his ear. He supposed it was something sexy, something arousing, something his entire body ached for. Just not from her. He shrugged her off, downed another drink and staggered towards the door. The damn girl had gotten underneath his skin, and worse, in his heart.



TITLES: (You may completely, totally alter these if you want to use one.)

*Consumed By You
Not Perfect, Just Perfect For Me
He's So Sexy
Just One More

AND...

*dramatic music plays*

The Rules.

//nOnE oF tHiS. although, I'll be completely honest, I've NEVER seen that on here before.

\\NO POEMS WHAT-SO-EVER. Unless you ask me permission first.

//100 words min. 20, 000 words max. Although, if it's that long, please keep my interest.

\\I'm sneaking this in to see how many people will read the rules. If you are entering a pre-write and don't want to put it in, you can post it below in the comments. Name of your story please. Copy + paste; "She didn't ask him for anything. Not money, not some fancy new car, not even a penny to cover her ice cream. When she finally asked him for something, it was only to catch her when she fell for him."
---Another Note: Introduce yourself in your author's note. Or on the comment thingy below.

//Sadly I can not allow erotica, since the rulers of storywrite won't allow me to. Mention sex, ya-dee-ya, BUT do not put any adult categories in the thingy. I'll have to D.Q. you, and I reallly hate to do something silly like that.

\\No fan-fics. But you already know that, right? I'm not too familiar with some things that are popular on here, and I don't think it's fair that I only allow some fan-fics and not others.

END OF THE RULES.
♥ yay!


HOLY CRAP. I'm finally done my second contest.

YAY!
*does a little dance*

Now that I've finished, I'm surprised you're still reading this. I know it's pretty long, and I'm pretty much yippin' at you the entire time...sorry 'bout that.

I'm off to watch Bones, and I want to remind you...rather poke you *pokes at you*, that if you want a certain subject thingy or whatever just ask. I really don't bite.

I may chase you with a cactus though. Well, that's debating on whether or not I can find one.

Hi

You read down to the bottom, didn't you? Alright. Here. *hands out cake to everyone*

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on January 21, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 150, Silver: 100, Bronze: 75, Honorable mention: 5 people
  • Final notes:
    This was incredibly hard to judge, but it was fun. I'm sorry if I didn't comment on your stories, but I haven't had time. Exams are this week, and I decided to push this one thing out of my mind. So I judged it.

    It was tough, and I loved all of the enteries.

    [Note: If you won an honorable mention, I didn't judge it in any particular order, I just thought you peeps deserved it.]

    Actually, I wish I had more points, since all the enteries seemed to be awesome. Everyone should've won, but since I can't do that, well, these were my top eight.

    I hope you all are enjoying the new year.

    If you eva need someone to talk to I'm always around. And I love new friends.


    AWESOME JOB EVERYONE.
    Thank you!!!!!

      Oh. You should enter!

      Just copy + paste this into your author's notes (i'm glad you read the rules thanks):

      She didn't ask him for anything. Not money, not some fancy new car, not even a penny to cover her ice cream. When she finally asked him for something, it was only to catch her when she fell for him.

      And you could introduce yourself, 'cept you know, I already know you, so you really don't need to.

      erica♥xoxo

      OH.
      I was also wondering, how long is your 'Unfinished Bussiness' contest open? I was thinking I might enter it, but I forgot when it closes.

    You mentioned prewrites, but your contest is not open to them. Are you going to open to prewrites?

    Ohh Ooh I just noticed "No poems unless asked"
    There are some.. "POEMS..." in my story.. You almost never notice them. So um.. I think you know what I'm asking for since you read the "No poems unless asked" part. XD

      haha.

      thanks for asking. very few people seem to notice that.

      You are totally...um, allowed, I guess that's the word I'm looking for, to enter the poem/story thing. i guess if the poems are part of your story, you don't really need to ask, but anyway.



      thanks,

    Okay, so I have a good story for the crime/mystery option thing. The thing is, it's a very long story and I have it posted on here chopped up into chapters. The first chapter is pretty good and suspenseful, so could I just enter the first chapter?

    Okay, option C has got my mind goin' crazy, but i'd like to change some of the words around and also add a little to it, to make it fit a little better for the story, more than just the i/she/he stuff, would that be okay?

    hey could you read my story and check if it's okay for your contest?

    I know you said no erotica, but my story has some love making but it's not raunchy its trippy and uses metaphors.

    But I'm watching my figure. It hasn't done anything interesting lately, though, so I might as well stop. Bug me and bug me until I enter this contest! I give you my solemn permission.
