Okay. I've had a contest almost exactly like this before. It was called "Try This" and I got some wonderful entries. Now though, it's time for me to update the options a little and read some brand new stories.
For this contest you can enter any story. I hate contests that say that though... There's no inspiration. So yes, you can enter any new story, BUT you get bonus points if I like your story (duh.)
So, here's some things I like.
(*) = Things I like most.
I like these names:
Aaron (m)
*Alex (m/f)
*Amber (f)
Amy (f)
Avery (m)
*Ben (m)
Brittany (f)
*Cody (m/f)
Cory (m)
Courtney (m/f)
Daniel (m)
Delilah (f)
*Devin (m)

*Taylor (m/f)

*She (or he) Loves me Not

*Zero Left Standing
Again, more will be added, but don't wait too long.
For the Record, I like the following topics quite a bit:

I like detail. When describing a setting, remember:
Inside or outside?
The temperature.
The time period.
The weather.
What it looks like.
Where things are.
When describing an object remember:
Colour.
Importance.
Location.
Scent.
Texture.
When describing a person remember:
Actions.
Appearance.
Attributes.
Dialogue.
Family & Friends.
Feelings.
Hobbies.
Intelligence.
Opinions.
Personality.
Remember, you don't have to use ANY of these things. The story's completely up to you. But if you seriously have read this far, please consider entering the contest. There aren't any rules. Well, excet label it adult if it's inappropriate. But yeah, that's it.
Go.
Oh, and ps.
If I don't comment right away, it's because I'm busy. I have exams this week, and brand new courses next week, so I might be a while. Thanks for understanding.
