Ever Been Judged?

Have you ever been discriminated against, or judged because of something you are?

This contest is not for homophobics, or racists, or sexists, or anybody like that.

So this is what I want.

I want to read about people like:

-Gays/lesbians, or bis, of course. Or even trans!

-'Emos' or 'Goths' [Ugh. Steretypes.]

-Women [even men] who are thought of as less than the other sex.

-Being judged because of your religious beliefs.

-Any other situations where someone is thught of as less of a person because of who they are.


It's be great if some entries were people who are discriminated against, and they told us about that. But you don't have to be.


-Prewrites allowed, new stories adored.

-Points WILL go up.

-Enter as much as you want.

-Good grammer/spelling/vocab is great.

-Poems welcome.


Rules:

1.) No word limit, but understand that if it's boring and lng...you know the rest.

2.) I know, but NO ADULT categories! So don't give me vivid sex scenes or whatever!

3.) Gender in author's notes. And a little about you; why you entered. If you've ever been judged. Even prewrites, please!


Uhm...yeah.

I will TRY to comment on everybody's entries. But I garuntee I'll read every one at least twice. If I don't like it, though, I might not comment.

So come on and let's enter!


-Most original, creative, well-thught-out, hearttouching/breaking story wins. Or if I like you the best, in ther words

-I love gay pride. I love twins. I love boy/girl best friends. Uhmm....yeah.

    Congrads.

    Uhm...If I didn't comment, you prolly didn't follow the rules, though there were a few great entries that followed the rules I didn't comment on.

    Rest assured I read all the entries.

    Are we allowed to comment on pieces before the close of the contest? I figured it was okay, I just commented on one piece that caught my eye.
