Comedy

This shouldn't be difficult; just give me a funny story.

Teh rewls:
1. Be creative
2. No fan-fiction (allusions are okay) Parodies are allowed
3. DoNt WrItE lIkE tHiS
4. oar lyke diss
5. Please keep it under 3,000 words
6a. No erotica—or anything that may go against site policy (these will be disqualified)
6b. In case there's any confusion, my definition of erotica is anything that goes into precise, steamy details (no matter what the gender or sexuality) so please leave out that hot make-out session on the couch. You can mention “I noticed Billy-Jo and Bobbi-Sue making out on the couch” but don't go into detail with their lips locking or anything like that.
7. If you can use profanity to enhance the story (rather than detract from it) go all out. Make sure you categorize your story correctly. Three or more big swears (you know the ones) qualifies it for the adult category.
8. WRITE WELL, I'm a grammar and speling Nazi. Well, more so with the latter.
9. Have fun
10. PLEASE don't reply to my comments until the contest is over. I know who a lot of you are just by your pictures, and this is an anonymous contest; I'd rather not know who you are.

With that out of the way, I am also biased towards stories which are written better more than stories that are just plain interesting. I wouldn't read Tolkien (for sake of example) if his stories didn't flow well or if the language wasn't diverse and interesting.

Also, just so you don't pull the 'no sense of humor' card, I like things that you have to think about before they're funny, BUT I don't want to have to think too hard. In other words, I'm one of those Americans who's grown out of the shock comedy and stupid humor. Fart jokes, things that are only 'funny' because someone threw in the F word, etc.... not a huge fan.

One more 'also' statement: comedy seems to be best in small doses for me. At least, when I'm reading that's the case. If you can keep up your humorous pace throughout a full 3,000 words then by all means have at it. Otherwise, a single scene or so should be fine.

This should all be simple for you guys, I've seen a lot of your works and many of them are very interesting.

I WILL comment on all of the entries. Promise.

Don't forget rule number nine!

    You had to pull the humor card...and just when I emptied my box of puns into Jazz Blackside's lap... *laughs* Well, finals (which I'm in the middle of) aren't very humorous, but I'll see what I can do. *bookmarks*

      You were the inspiration

      I was like 'man, I need to read more funny stuff like this...'

      And I plan to finish that story. I'm loving it so far

        I am quite disappointed that I didn't have the time to write something for this, because lord knows I need another excuse to bring on the humor. So much to write, so little time... I was perusing your entries, though, and they look durn entertaining.
