P e o p l e

Don’t you think that people as a creation of the universe are absolutely amazing? I do ^^ and this is why I have decided to make a contest about them! : )
The contest is pretty simple… you reserve a place, I give you a photograph with a person on it, you write about the person ^^
Now here’s all I need to tell you about it, in brief

<3 You write about the person, not the photograph ^^ don’t let the picture limit you, it’s only your starting point, be more creative than ever
<3 Don’t be afraid that you’ll get a “bad picture” this contest is meant to be a pleasure for both you and me and I’ll only give you photographs that I would enjoy writing about. I’m picky in writing… so you should be safe on that point ^^
<3 If you get a picture with two people you may write about both people, just one person and mention the other one a little bit, or you may ignore one of them completely… basically it’s all up to you ^^
<3 You can write a story (narrative or first person, up to you), you can write a poem, a song, a description, a diary entry, a letter… and whatever you can think of! ^^
<3 Your entry may be as long or short as you wish ^^
<3 I will comment on EVERY entry… ^^
<3 If you enter it would be nice if you could comment on other entries as well but you do not have to do so if you don’t want to. Commenting on other’s work will not increase your chance of winning, it’s your writing and imagination that will ^^
<3 Oh by the way, talking of writing and imagination… you are creating the life of the person that you will receive… that means that you can invent their name, nationality, habitat, hobbies, background, life, love life, you can even make them into a spy or a bus driver if you really wish to (or both lol ) it’s all up to you, be happily creative, I’m open to imagination ^^
<3 I will only give you photographs of people that I do not know, this way the contest won’t be biased in any way, form or shape ^^
<3 One last thing; I want to give you as little limitation as possible but there’s one thing that you may not write about. You cannot write about RAPE. You may enter erotica, but no rape.
<3 Emm… and that’s it, have fun! ^^ By the way, this is my first contest so please please please excuse any mistakes I may make as I go along. Hopefully I won’t make any, it can’t be that complicated, but keep this in mind . If I have trouble, I’ll sure ask for help =P
<3 There, I’ll show you the sort of photographs that you might get. You probably won’t get those, they’re just examples but it’s just to show you the sort of style that I like in photography, then you can decide whether you fancy entering this contest or not ^^

  • Final notes:
    Hello ^^
    Most of all I wanted to thank you all for entering this contest . Some of you didn’t enter any stories at all lol but that’s okay I enjoyed just looking for those photographs ^^ so I really thank you all for entering regardless of whether you wrote a story or not, this contest made me happy and was a real pleasure .
    As to those who did write stories, you are absolutely wonderful! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this contest but from what I have read it really was worth my time .
    All of your stories moved me in some positive way, whether it was making me laugh, relax, think, or just stare in awe at my computer screen, they all had a good effect on me .
    So I’m sending you all lots of love and of course congratulations to the winners

    Quick question, would you like whole stories about the people? Or just something that describes them and tells who and how they are? Just so I know if what I'm doing is alright. ^_^

      Hello ^^

      It's up to you ^^ <3. It's whatever you feel more comfortable with . You write about the person but how you write it is completely up to you, everything's fine
      it can be:
      -a description
      -a diary entry
      -a story about the person
      -a poem
      -a song
      -a newspaper article
      and anything else you can think of ^^
      I just give you the photograph, how you write about the person is your decison <3
      Basically you have the power you're the Queen of your Writing Kingdom and you decide what's best
      ^^
      xoxo

        Last thing, if I choose to, in my Writing Kingdom, write a story, does it have to be complete? Because I write in bursts... >.>

          Nope ^^
          As long as it makes sense and you like it, it's all right!
          I write in bursts too.. so as far as I'm concerned it's fine
          xoxo
