PIF Contest - Pick Your Genre!

For this contest, you get to choose 1 of 4 genres and submit any piece that fits the guidelines. Easy, right!

1. ANGST - I want deep heartfelt angst that makes me want to cry, none of the fake stuff

2. COMEDY - give me stories that will make me roll on the ground laughing. If you're not sure whether or not it qualifies as funny, dont enter it. I want seriously funny pieces. Just a hint, I love sarcastically funny pieces; satires etc.

3. ACTION/DRAMA - not my favourite, but if you like it...try to keep it action packed, and not 6 pages of explaining for two sentences of action

4. LOVE - please keep in mind I'm only a teenager...I don't want to read erotica or smut. Just good ORIGINAL romance.

Now, I want a lot of entries, so if there is something you want to enter, IM me and I'll consider it. I have only a few rules, but they are important, and I won't hesitate to DQ anybody after 1 warning.

1. Under 2500 words. I do have school, you know.

2. No erotica or abuse

3. I don't mind God bashing as long as it's not too harsh and you warn people in your summary

4. GRAMMAR, PHRASING, VOCAB people! Get it together, or you'll be DQ'ed. I love stories with vivid imagry, mind it's not over the top too much.

5. The winner must host a Pay It Forward contest with at least the 450 points they win. Brownie points if they add more like I did .

6. Put which option you used in your AN. Failure to do so will result in DQ after a warning.

Have fun, and get writing!
