I have way too many points at the moment and I am in need of some more good stories to read. If you think you can impress me by your writing skills then go ahead and enter. But I will warn you now, for this I WILL be harsher then I usually am when I read someone else's story. I will point out every flaw and typo I find and I will dock points if there is barely any detail.
Oh, I will accept prewrites but they MUST follow the rules and have whatever option you choose in your authors notes. If you do not follow my rules you will be taken out of the contest.
~*~
Rules:
1. No erotica and extremly foul languege (i.e. The ones that wouldn't be in a PG-13 or lower movie)
2. Word limit is 5000 words and the minimum word limit is 200.
3. NO POEMS
4. I am sorry but I can not allow Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual stories. I really don't mind them but I also don't feel like reading something my parents would question me fore reading.
5. No sticky caps! I don't care if you are trying to be unique.
6. Post wich option you pick in your author's notes.
~*~

Fantasy
Romance
Mystery/Suspence

Option 4:
Give your character an eloborate interview. Make sure to let their personality shine!
I will give bonus points to those who enter under any option other then number 3. And if you somehow base a story off the picture I took of Stonehenge and posted above, you'd still have to it it in to one of the options though.
Good luck and have fun!

wow! i love nightwish and within temptation! are you in the states cause not many of us know about them.
-
freakin love dat band
dude, i mite just have to do dis' i love Within Temptation...Might do Angel...what do u think? -
I'm wondering what exactly you mean by "fantasy depth story". Perhaps you could give me an example?
-
wow, you just named 5 of my favourite bands in that list, and i really dont have a whole lot of modern favourite bands. flyleaf, nightwish, within temptation, linkin park, evanescence. you win!
-
Just gotta say, that's a nice list of bands you got there. I love Nightwish, Within Temptation, Linken Park, Evanescence and 3 Doors Down.
-
Hmm think I will enter this
Good bands im gonna be stuck choosing one to write for =D
-
The only thing that could've improved that music list would be Korn, lmfao. You have alot of awesome bands on there.
Must try this. -
The interview sounds fun, but you've also used some of my fav bads, esp. Ev, Nightwish, Within Temptation... You missed Lacuna Coil though... Anyway, I'll see if I can enter...
laura xxx -
I have three chapters of a story but they are all separate, can I enter them still?
Good luck with all those entries by the way!
-
I think you need to open your options for songs to other bands like metal ones or techno. I mean to me it feels like in your list you took at metal because you probally think all metal is about death and hatred and has inappropriate things in it. I listen to metal all the time and I know alot of bands that sing about love or your inner demons, and stuff like that. Also what about techno, there is a story behind techno musics lyrics too...I think. Whatever I think you should add more bands like Cradle of Filth, The 69 Eyes, Rammstein, Theivory Incorperation, Slipknot, Korn, System of a Down, and lots of other bands.
-
in your rules, you say NO POEMS. i have a poem within my story. is that ok?
