The Ultimate Challenge 1

Here We Go!!


What You Do: 

 

First: Pick a Starting Topic

Second: Write a short story concerning that topic (Word Count will be listed below)

 Third: Spell Check and make sure your story fits the criteria. (Prewritten stories are allowed if they fit the topic) 

 Fourth: Wait for your story to be read and see where you stand!! 

 

The Point Of This Contest:  

The point of this contest is to test your ability to detail certain things, and lace a story within that topic. Drifting off topic is allowed somewhat, but the basic story must be maintained.

 

Ex. [ Topic: Dying Mentor- Starts out well but then cuts to a grandmother helping her granddaughter secure a husband. ( That has nothing to do with a Dying Mentor) 

Ask as many questions as you like, this isn't a test, this is for fun! You will get FULL comments from me. I will assess everything! So, whatever you want help on or need help from you'll get from this contest.

 If you don't want any advice, then just put "No Advice Please" in your authors notes or in your story. Otherwise comments and advice will be given.

 

For those who do not want advice, a general comment will be made concerning the story line and characters. Nothing more.  

 

Okay, here are the topics!! Please Choose One- Multiple CHoices can be made but please don't pick more than three. (Note: Each Topic should be written separately: not part of the same story.) 

 

Topics:

 

1. The Cliche- Stolen Boyfriend meets Cheating Girlfriend

2. Dying Mentor

3. Wounded Comrade

4. Beauty is only skin deep, or is it?

5. Two confused men (If used in an adult category, please note so.)

6. The Baffled Bride

7. Vampires meet Daylight (Take this any way you wish)

8. Orphaned child, grows up, kills  foster parents, takes over world.

 

OR: Choose a Story Title (This would be freelance, but must maintain the title of story or Chapter. Can be used for either. )

 

Titles: FOr titles with {can be changed on them} user may change to his or her preference. 

 

1. The Broken Man

2. The Hiding

3. Disaster in Oak Grove  (Name [Oak Grove] can be changed) 

4. Into The Night

5. Only Me

6. Destruction is my Middle Name

2. No Gay or Bi Material Please- I don't read it.

3. Please list which Topic you chose. (Not required but appreciated)  

 

 Word Count

200-2,000

Would prefer smaller stories, but don't feel like you HAVE to fit everything in 200 words.

 

Anyway, enter as many times as you like. Pre-Written stories are allowed as long as they fit the topic chosen.

  3. Into The Night
    Peter kicked his feet in the puddles as he walked past them. He glared at each pavement square as if it had just kicked his dog. He picked up stones as he walked and threw them at the sides of buildings. He glowered at each

    Umm....one teensy little question....if a child is orphaned, how can they kill their parents? They're kind of....you know, already dead. Just wondering! I would love for you to add more to this, but I'm thinking about entering anyway.

      Maybe the orphaning is self-inflicted. >=D

        Kills parents

        Doesn't say, kills own parents. Could just be a case of rampant, jealous rage, killing other people's parents.

    Regarding my entry

    I am submitting this under the title 'Into the Night', but it seems that I have not done it correctly. Should I resubmit this?

      Um.. just change the title of your story to "Into The Night" you can put it's original title in the "Your Story" thingy along with your story. : ) does that make sense?? Lol-- The Title you picked just HAS to be the TITLE of the story. As far as the Body of the story goes you can have whatever title you want there.

      You don't have to resubmit though, just go to your story and click "Edit" once there go to the title bar and replace your current title with "Into The Night" and press "Submit Story"
      : ) Easy as pie

      Thanks for letting me know though.
