Apparently my school series wasn't a huge hit lol, so here we go.
They must be stories, not poems. I want to see stories under 500 words. Those are my only two rules, everything else goes. Anything over that word limit will be deleted without any reply.
Go for it guys!!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on March 6, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 200, Honorable mention: 14 people
- Final notes: Wow, you people make things hard. I know a lot of people say this, but I truly and literally mean it when I say I could not choose between anyone on my finalist list, I really wish I could give everybody gold. It's taken me two days to just work out the order of the finalists. Everyone in that list deserves gold.
In the end I picked the three I thought people would identify with, and seemed to hit me imidiatly.
HM's are in no particular order
Congrats to everuone that entered, many of the entries that didn't make the finalists list were as good as the others. You've all done so well.
Thanks guys.
