Wow. That might be a really corny title, but I couldn't think of anything better without sounding absurd.
BUT, anyway...Thanks for coming in! Ready to write your obituary?
Yup, that's right, you're going to write YOUR own obituary! (yay!)
A couple of things, first though, before you get too hot-n-heavy.
1. It has to be YOU. NO Characters, no FAMILY, it has to be YOUR OBITUARY.
2. I'm not sure how many college students are on this website, but I know that many write their obituaries for class assignments. That's fine if you've already written one and would just like to submit that. As long as it is YOUR work and YOU are the subject.
3. These don't have to be serious. Make them funny if you want. The only thing I'm asking is-WRITE LITERATELY. I won't even take a second look at yours if you don't write atleast SEMI-literately.
4. Keep it at a decent/moderate amount. Look at obituaries.com for samples of actual written obituaries, and try to stay within THOSE guidelines.
5. I don't give a fucking fuck about cursing or ass-n-titties, 'kay?
6. I think that about sums it up.
Now, have fun!
Oh, I'll add more points as I earn them, I just haven't been on here in awhile.
So, have at!
