Seria's Option Contest!

Welcome to my lovely contest of options! Enter now or the muffins will eat you!

OPTION 1:

Pick one of these words and repeat it 25 times in your story(without annoying me to death);

- idiot
- cavern
- cheese
- Santa
- castle
- toilet paper (so what if it's not one word! XP)
- sweet
- balloon
- hot
- telephone
- elixer
- blood
- marker
- wax
- flamboyant (kudos if you use this!)
- enigma
- royal
- impression
- paranoid
- knock
- ketchup
- awkward
- erase
- long
- blank

OPTION 2:

Pick a plot(all in first person narrative!);

- You're lost in a tropical jungle. You have no idea how you got there, or any of your own past, for the matter. Will you find a way out, or make it your own?

- Your mom named you Rainbow, but there's a big problem with it. You're a guy. How will you convince the others at high school that you're not gay?

- You've recently been turned into a vampire. It's pretty cool, you have to admit, but the whole sleeping in a coffin thing has you freaked. Why? You're claustrophobic. How will you overcome your fear?

- You live in a huge, spooky house. It even has a vaulted ceiling, but you're not afraid. Why? Bob the ghost is your friend. You can't convince your parents that he's real, though. What will you do?

- You've always loved horror stories. The thrill is amazing, and, when you're done, you only have to close the book. Not so scary, then, but what if the story came alive?

OPTION 3:

Pick one of these titles to use;

- The Lonely Dragon
- Soul of the Damned
- Living Ghosts
- Avid Necrophiliacs
- The Last Sunrise
- Ever So Beautiful
- Begone
- Chaos Inclined
- A Vampire's Castle
- His Sole Oxymoron
- The Cat of the Nile
- Bishop of Souls
- Never Turn Back
- His Promise
- Circus of the Dead
- My Sweet Valentine
- My Unsweetened Valentine
- The Irreplaceable Vision of You

That's all of them, for now. I may add more later.

Rules:

1. No prewrites, and one submission per writer.
2. 500-5000 word limit.
3. No erotica (this means that you cannot describe sex).
4. No chatspeak.
5. NoNe Of ThIs StUfF.
6. Put which option you chose in your authors notes.
7. Have fun!

    I have to say that you truly do have many options and I may go all out and use all three of them to inspire a complete story just to see if it can be done and make sense at the same time. Loved the Muffins will eat you bit; it was very funny. Good luck to all!

    Thank You!

    Thanks so very much for the silver trophy and all the points. I appreciate them. This contest was a lot of fun for me. Trying to write a story repeating the same word 25 times was a challenge. Thanks for the contest idea and for hosting.

    I want to thank you for the Bronze trophy. I truly enjoyed your contest. I guess I was able to pull off all three options and combine them. Congratulations to everyone.
