Hello, lovely writers!
Since everyone on SW seems to think that spring means happy, fluffy stuff, I want you to prove them wrong!
I want your best dark/sad writes that end in despair. Possible examples are:
-murder
-rape
-incest
-suicide
-mental illness
-accidental death
-cheating
-illness/injury
-unrequited love
-breakups
-some sort of confession
+ + + +
Erotica IS allowed, but I don't want any immediate post-sex deaths. GLBTQ content, as well as fetish stories are also permitted... No bestiality though, since that just doesn't float my boat.
The dreaded rules:
+ Spell-check, for the love of God! One mistake won't get you DQed, but forty will.
+ No insulting me or each other.
+ No poetry... That's what allPOETRY is for.
+ Nothing over 5000 words... I'm totally A.D... Ooh, shiny! [I think you get the point..
] If you can go over that and hold my attention, you'll probably win gold... But too far over and you'll be DQed.
+ PLEASE NO EMO GARBAGE! You can write about cutting, but I don't want to read about how you slit your wrists because your mother told you to fix your hair. Get over yourselves, people!
* * *
I may or may not comment... It depends on my mood.
If you need a prompt to get started, please ask!
Any less than 10 entries, and contest goes bye-bye!
That's it... Good luck, beautiful people!

what's allpoetry?
-
nevermind, I found it.
-
Can we enter more than one story?
-
-
For now, no... I might open up multiple entries at the end, but that's yet to be determined
-
-
does it have to be a finished story?
-
-
Not necessarily... Actually, one of my best gold- trophy winners was an incomplete, so by all means, enter it
-
-
HAHAHA! "Slit your wrists because your mother told you to fix your hair"! That's hilarious. Priceless. I'm stealing that
-
Could I submit a story about a soldier looking out over a battle field after the battle is over? Its rather depressing I think.
-
-
If you can do it in a way that you think will hold my attention, then by all means
-
-
cool I entered
-
-
-
bwahahaha lol I love your thoughts on emos.
-
-
As do I, hence why I think that way
Nothing against cutters, but it's the whiny, attention-whoring fake-cutters that just bother me!

Thanks
