RULES:

1)No God bashing.
2)Keep the erotica at a minimum if any at all
3)nO TaLKinG LiKe thIs and no chatspeak!
4)Please no more than 3,000 words (I'm willing to negotiate if you need more).
5)Tell me what song you used in your authors notes.
6)HAVE FUN!

BROWNIE POINTS:

1) Gay/Lesbian romance! I noticed that a lot of contests excluded them, but I absolutely love the idea of boy on boy love and I like the girl on girl romance(both are sweet if you ask me!).
2)I'm still a sucker for the whole supernatural factor so if you could throw that it...you would be a god for a day!
3)I Drama (in a story...deplore it in real life)! I think drama stories are touching and normally I'm a big sap so you've probably won me over when I start crying!

The contest will officially end in about a month or so, or when all spots are filled (I may add more openings for entries depending on how many people join).

Ah....GO HAVE FUN!

  4. The air was musky, it smelled like rusted silver. An odor so strong, I could taste it in my mouth. Outside, the sky was dark; stars sparkled against the dark night sky, like silver glittered scattered against a black backgrou

    OHMYGOSH. I will enter this as long as you bug me and remind me about it. I'll listen to all the songs that I haven't heard yet and see what gushy romance story I can come up with.

    Just keep reminding me, I have a feeling this week's going to be crazy.

    Awesome contest!

    Is it okay if I do like a really short story (or at least, knowing me, probably will start off as one)? Because I'm strapped for time on my computer since I have sooo much Math & English homework this weekend. I know it doesn't end for, like, another two weeks or whatever, but I want to get my entry in!

    Ooorrr... can I save my spot?

    Let me know, Star.
    Catch you later,

    I've been inspired by When the Day Met the Night - Panic! At the Disco. Please wait for my reserved spot to be filled. It will be. I promise!
