Options

I haven't been on SW for a while and I'll admit: I kinda missed it. So of course, I have to hold a contest. =]


~

Options. Pick one, or two, or five. =P


1. Romance...of any orientation. But I don't want your typical Jack and Jill (Jack and Jack, Jill and Jill, whatever). Make it interesting.

2. Fantasy. Same thing goes: no clichés, please, and especially no Mary Sues.

3. Aw...friendship.

4. Something set in California, USA.

5. Make one of the characters a musician. This can be the drummer in a rock band, a subway violinist, or the girl who sings off-key in her shower.

6. Choose one of the Seven Deadly Sins and use it as your central theme. The Sins are: Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, Wrath, Sloth, Pride, and Envy.

7. A plot with a surprising twist at the end.

8. Use any Anberlin song as inspiration, but write which one in your AN.

9. Profile a character, from your latest novel or wherever. But not the usual "Hair: Blonde. Eyes: Blue with flecks of gold" stuff. Write a scene where the reader can really get to understand the character...you know what I mean. =]

10. A war story.

11. Use the pic!

12. I don't know. Anything good?

Rules.


1. Label adult stuff for the kiddies. please.
2. Write your option in your AN.
3. No word limit, really, but if it's 10,000 words or something, it had better be REALLY GOOD. And I'll admit, I'm not going to finish reading it if it doesn't keep my attention.
4. PW allowed!
5. I reserve the right to DQ, and to be totally and brutally honest. x)





Most of all?
Have fun!
...and get writing.

      Ah, sorry...a lot of people probably have multiple stories they could submit. I'm a bit too lazy to read them all, though.

      Thanks!
