Write me stories about sorrow and pain and heartbreak. Write about pain but write elegantly and beautifully with style. If you can pull it off well write about physical pain but if not I am more looking for emotional or physiological.
Points for
* how realistic it is
* how convincing you are
* how beautifully the style of your writing is
*whether I can see it, feel it, sense it, hear it- make me understand and feel like I am the character
* brownie points if you can make me sad because of it
I am not going to say what would help win or what I might be more sensitive to because that gives it away. Just write, and write well. Polish it. Put heart and soul into it! Make me want to cry or be awed or make me so overwhelmed with emotion I have to go outside and be there to get it out!
Rules
1. Grammar - if it isn't very very good- you won't win.. I want a really well written story. Check it once, check it twice, check it three times if you have to!
2. Be as descriptive as you can pull off without losing track of the story and boring me, though I do like intricate and original descriptions
3. not less that a page and not more than 3000 words if possible If it needs to be more message me and we can talk.
4. Write your heart out!
If anyone needs more time, message me let me know. I go on a school trip for 9 days or so in May so I don't want the contest to end while I am there cause that isn't fair to any of you. So the time thing I will try to work out if you need more.
Have fun!

My winners were really clear cut for me , at least the first two. Those were amazing stories and beautifully written. The third was also very good but in a different way. My honourable mentions were more difficult to choose but I really truly enjoyed reading them. Again Thank you to everyone for entering!

any poetry???

I'd kinda rather not, nothing against poetry just this is more of a story contest . I will do a poetry contest soon though and I'd love to see your pieces in that. I think if I say yes to poetry than it will become dominated by that and because the point of the contest takes description and what I was looking for fits better in stories.
Sorry!
