Okay, so I just had a really cruddy morning, and I desperately need something to cheer me up. Here are your choices:
1. Give me a story with the happiest ending you could come up with. Make it believable too, but make it happy.
2. Give me a funny story. For this, I want a story that will make me fall out of my chair laughing. (Just so you know, it's not that hard to make me laugh. But give me your best anyway.)
3. Write a story about someone really embarrassing themselves, but make sure it's funny. Make your story a reminder that it could always be worse.
Not many rules, but here they are anyway:
- On the subject of erotica: Unless you've somehow managed to make it funny, I don't want to read it here. If you feel like writing in that genre, just keep this in mind.
- I won't give you a specific word count, but try to keep your stories from being excessively long. I have a short attention span sometimes, so if it's too long I might not read the whole thing.
- I don't care if you tell me what option you chose or not. It should be pretty obvious just from reading your story, and I'm not going to be really strict about them anyway.
I don't care if your story is prewritten or new, so just enter whatever you feel like, as long as it's happy!
