Rules are simple. I want the best. YOUR best. I want something that will drop my jaw and and make me say, "Yeah, I'd definitely pay $24.95 for the hardback version of this at Barnes and Noble". I want the next big hit, and I want it from you. I'm REALLY bored and I want to read something new instead of reading the Nancy Drew series for the thousandth time. (Ok I haven't actually read Nancy Drew...and I'm rambling.)
Enough of that. It's now time for our favorite thing. RULES!!
1. Good grammar is VITAL! If you really consider yourself a half-way decent writer, you will want to double-check your grammar. Good grammar=happy judge. Bad grammar=no trophy for you.
2. If you want to enter a chapter of something, enter the first chapter. I don't wanna jump into a story in the middle. I don't care if you like that one best. It's the first one or none.
3. DO NOT SAY THE 'F' WORD!!! It's a disgusting word and I think if you're creative at all you don't need it. People who say that only say it because they have nothing more intelligent to say. Sorry if that offends anyone. BREAKING THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE DQ-AGE.
4. I will comment on EVERY entry and I'll comment honestly. If you're afraid of constructive criticism, stay away. But I promise I'm really nice. I won't say anything mean or tear you apart. Just tell you what I thought.
5. No length requirement, but keep it reasonable. If you have a long story that doesn't capture my attention, I won't finish it.
6. Um...have fun?
Categories allowed:
Romance
Dark
Fantasy
Screenplays
Poetry
Humor
Mystery
Erotica (nothing TOO explicit)
Pretty much ANYTHING!!
Just write what you want!!! Oh, fyi, though. If you write about anime, I won't know what you're talking about and you probably won't win. Enter though.
Alright, folks. That's it. Just (at risk of sounding ultra-cliche) hit me with your best shot. You can enter more than once, but 3 is the limit. New writes preferred, prewrites allowed. Now get out there and give me something amazing. Shock me! I dare you. Ready...set...

This is probably just me being a bad person, but rule #3 makes me want to enter something with not a single 'f-word' but instead 'cunt' appearing as often as possible.
-
''3. DO NOT SAY THE 'F' WORD''
-says the C word instead-
No, don't worry, I'm not entering. I just think that the F word is way down the scale in swearing. -
Thank you so much for the silver! That's the nicest wake-up call I've ever gotten! Thank you again for a fun contest, and congrats to the other winners!
Love and light,
Laura xxx
