Good Writing

Hey everyone!

This is my second contest, and my first had a GREAT turnout, and I hope that this one will be the same. This contest will have options. Last time, I got a lot of prewrites because it was an Anything Goes contest. This time, I hope for more fresh writes, but one of the options may let you sumbit a prewrite.

If you win, I'd really like it if you would pass the points along by making another contest. You don't have to - but it would be nice!

Please put your option # in your author notes.

What else... Oh yeah! I prefer fantasy stories. Oh! And I'll comment on everyone's stories.


OPTION 1: PROMPT

Don't overlook this option just because it is hard. I personally really like the prompt stories I read, because they force you to be creative.
PS. You are more likely to be in the finalists if you are a prompt. No promises, though.

OPTION 2: FANFIC

Write about a REALLY well known story, like Harry Potter. Think about something an early teen would've read. Message me if you want to ask me about a certain book, and I'll tell you if I've read it or not.

OPTION 3: TWISTED GENRES

If your story is:

- Fantasy, include a bush and a clock
- Science Fiction, include a cat and a hamburger
- Realistic Fiction, include Math Homework and a book

They can just be objects in passing, but it would be great if they were a main part of the story.


OPTION 4: GIVE ME YOUR BEST PREWRITE!

What's the highest medal you've ever received? Submit that story here! If you haven't won a medal... Message me. I may make an exception.






RULES:

- nO StiCKy CapS (nOt ThaT AnYonE DoeS ThaT)
- Nothing about abuse or sex
- Please keep it under 8000 words, not that very many
stories are like that
- If you don't follow these rules, I will warn you
twice and the DQ you

THANKS!

    Okay, I did the prompt and posted it in the same story you'd promped me in. Hope it works (its tilted two sides of the same story by the way - couldn't think of a better title).

    No medals but I think my story is still worth it. It's one of the few I am proud of, so I hope you can make an exception.
