OPTION ONE--
Write me a six second story, a story about something that happens in six seconds. But I'm not saying you have to write it in six seconds. But make sure it's believable that what you choose could happen in six seconds.
Stuck for ideas? Try:
--a car crash
--a kiss
--a death
Let your imagination go.
OPTION TWO--
Write me a story starting with one of these sentences:
--"She was only a child."
--"It was a cold, empty morning, regret hanging in the air in our hollow words."
--"I never said this was easy."
--"I'm not as perfect as I should have been, and I know that."
--"I love the way your breath floats past my ear as you whisper empty nothings to me."
--"In any other life, I know I could be happy."
OPTION THREE--
Write me a murder. Write me a suicide. Write me a death .
Prewrites only accepted on this option.
RULES--
--Use spellcheck.
--Put the option number in the Author Comments Box.
--Only enter prewrites for option three.
--&& it's not required, but it might be nice to comment on other entries..
TIPS--
I like:
--creative description
--pretty && unique metaphors
--gay/bi romance
--slightly emo stuff [but not over-the-top, mind]
Things that put me off are:
--typos [eg bad punctuation, not using spellcheck]
--over-description
--paragraphs shoved together [eg without a space inbetween, or wrongly paragraphed in the first place]
For an idea of the kind of stuff I like, read Paper Hearts. Yes, it is by me. No, I'm not asking for you to comment. But that's the kinda of stuff I'd like. It doesn't necessarily have to be like that all the way through, just that sort of description, mhm?
I look forward to your entries!

Question?
Hi,
I was wondering. I'm kinda planning to do the first option but anyway I was wondering if I could use a sentence from the second option and still enter it and count it as option one...sorry for being complicated.
-
-
Yeah, sure, whatever.. I don't really mind to be honest. Combine them if that's what you want to do!
