Give me striking imagery. I want great description, originality, and writing that leaves an impact. I like scenes of beauty, especially in nature, but the appearance and setting are up to you. What I really want is description, orinality, and impact.
RULES:
All the usuals: no sticky caps/superfluous swearing/bashing/etc.
Prewrites allowed.
Please don't enter more than two pieces without messaging me first.
If it's not under 1,000 words, I don't guarantee to finish it.
No erotica/crime/horror. DQ guaranteed.
Weird/Fantasy/Sci-fi/Humor on a case-by-case basis. Message me first. (By Fantasy I don't mean something creatively unrealistic or other-worldly, I just mean something in which the setting, character(s), and plotline are all fantastical.)
Brownie points for simplicity/good vocabulary/suspense.
A few spelling mistakes are understandable (although I prefer none) but if they're excessive then I'll definitely ask you to revise your story.
Poetry is allowed! It doesn't have to rhyme, I just want to see natural flow.
Thanks so much for entering and good luck in the contest! ♥ xoxo, Bee
