Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on May 13, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 9 people
- Final notes: Okay, every time I host a contest, I say it was like hard to judge. This contest was nearly impossible. Everybody's entry was so amazing and everyone's reasons were unique and ack. I'm not kidding. Absolutely impossible to judge.
I ended up choosing my top three favourites (took me like four days just to figure that out) and then I gave away nine honorable mentions. I didn't have enough points to give out 47 honorable mentions! (Note: Honorable mentions are in no particular order. Too hard to figure out.)
Amazing job everyone! It's nice to see that SW has so many amazing writers and people!
THHANKIEESS FOR ENTERING.
LoveYaAll!
erica xoxo!
P.S.
If you haven't read anyone else's entries, you should. Amazinnggg.

~emmy♥
P.S. can't wait to see you!! -
-
You're going to enter? Yay!
Hmm ... a prompt, you say? Alright. First off, tell me what you want your genre to be. Then I shall give you a prompt!
ericaxoxo
-
-
Ummm...whatever but you know romance and all that junk just so i can make it uber corny and pointless. Just for you!!
~emmy♥
p.S. Can't freaking wait!! Brinin' an umbrella just in case! -
-
Yay! And me too.
Prompt:
I thought it would be too late, but suddenly he was standing in front of me, soaking wet. I swallowed and dropped the tray of hot coffee over my customers.
If you don't like it, just tell me and I'll give you another one. Doesn't have to be in first person!
LOVE YOU EMMY!
ericaxoxo
-
-
Nope i like it, I will do...something with it
jk it's perfect.
~emmy♥ -
-
thankies. i thought it'd be perfect for you.
ericaxoxo
ps.
no rain in the forecast.
-
-
Yup gotta love a "predictable" fiend right?
Hells yeah! Rain rain go away, come again on a sick day!
~emmy♥
P.S. DAMMIT I forget again! 2nd time sheesh! -
-
No kidding. And what did you forget?
Did you forget me?
Tsk. Tsk.
Forever,

OMG! Bones! Bones bones boney bones (okay that only sounded mildly wrong) But yeah Bones is on tonight! Booth, Bones and a Baby! So siked!
-
-
I KNOW. BBBBBOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSs!!!!
We'll disect it tomorrow?
ericaxoxo
-
-
Haha YES! Seriously i CANNOT wait to see you! I've missed you so freaking much!
~emmy -
-
I know. I feel the same. My box is reallly tiny.
ericaxoxo
-
-
Haha that way really random! But yeah so is mine
-
-
I know. Now I've got a new page and a new big box. How freakin' sweet is that?

Haha, that was an interesting thought provoking rule there.. a seven-letter word to describe me? I can find ten letter words. lol. Good luck with the contest. I hope I find the time to write a story to enter!
-
-
Ten letter words work too.
I hope you enter!
ericaxoxo
-
-
Wonder why you like dragons...
How many times may I enter? Because, seriously, I have ideas for every. Single. Option. Curse you.
-
-
Yeah, I wonder too.
And how 'bout this? You can enter up to three separate stories BUT you can combine options in the same story thing. Does that make sense?
ericaxoxo
-
-
Sort of...
-
-
Say you wanted to do all of them.
In one story, put option one - four. Like, your wish, definition and one-or-the-other.
In another story (that you enter separately), you can have the paragraph options there.
And if you really feel like it, submit a third short story.
OR ... you know what? Stick it all together. Sooo much easier.
ericaxoxo
-
-
I'll do something, don't worry. I have my idea all ready to write. Guess I'll go write, then!
-
-
yay!!
have fun!
ericaxoxo
-
-
-
-
-
-
poetry?
-
-
sure.
ericaxoxo
-
-
it was inspired by the picture you posted with the contest- is that OK?

If it gets you to enter, then TOTALLY!

-
-
'Key, but tell me what kind of prompt do you want. Romance, friendship, murder, vampire-y, etc, etc.
That way I can give you a prompt you'll have fun with.
ericaxoxo
-
-
ROMANCE!! aaawwww. love XD
-
-
My favourite-est thing eva!
Prompt: If you're going to leave me, let me down easy.
(lyrics from the song, "Let Me Down Easy" by Saving Jane)
OR
As they sat there in the restaurant, she twirled her spoon in her hand. Good grief, it was so awkward. If only (best friend's name here) hadn't said that - then maybe they'd be kissing right about now.
Or, if you don't like those, just tell me and I'll come up with something real brilliant.

-
-
-
-
Could I reserve a spot? I'll write something tomorrow but for now it's kind of late....
-
-
Yus. You can reserve a spot.
ericaxoxo
-
-
Oh, thank you thank you thank you!!!
-
-
-
So many great options, I'll be entering several times, I hope.
J.P.T. -
Damn, you closed before I could enter more than once.
J.P.T. -
-
ACK. It wasn't supposed to close yet! I'm re-opening it for you!
Sorry about that.
ericaxoxo
-
-
Thanks, Erica. You're a gem!
J.P.T. -
-
No prob. Besides, I didn't mean for it to close on you!
ericaxoxo
-
-
-
-
I wants a prompt my friend!!!
-
-
You have a certain genre/category that you'd like?
ericaxoxo
-
-
Does the entry have to be prose? Or could it be poetry too? I'd love to enter, but most of those spark poem ideas for me rather than descriptions or prose...
-
-
Nope. Poetry's totally allowed. I know some people don't get easily inspired for stories but for poetry.
So, go ahead and enter a poem!
ericaxoxo
-
-
^-^ Thanks. Poem entered... and I wrote it specially for you.

-

-
Yup.
-
-
Um, I wrote my story... it's the "Reserved" one... by Arguably Insane. But for some reason the title won't change!! It aggravates me but it shows the right story when you click on it... curse computers for being so confusing....
