Hi!
Okay, since my first contest horribly failed, I want to try again. And again. And again. I recently won a few trophies so my points are way up, so expect a few new contests by yours truly!
For this particular contest, I want you to make me happy!
Make me smile, make me go "aww" (in the good way), make me laugh, give me a warm feeling inside!
The usual rules apply, but I will still repeat them:
-No adult stuff (erotica, gore, etc.)
-No bashing of stuff (homosexuality, religion, etc.)
-I'm a real grammar-nazi, so good grammar is definitely worth the effort
-NO POETRY!
-MAX 1500 words! I will allow a 100 word buffer, but anyting above that gets DQed without being read!
-Put this in your author notes so that I know if you read all this!: "Fill my soul with the spirit of life"
-I will comment on every story! I'll try to be as constructive and supportive as possible
-Most important one: HAVE FUN!!!
BROWNIE POINTS: I absolutely love it when there's a deeper meaning or message to a story! If you would like an example as to what I mean, read my story "Chains" or "Jane's Story", though the latter is a poem.
PS. If the quality of the submitted stories is really high, I'll probably up the points!
PPS. What I also love are magical stories. A bunch of GREAT examples are the stories by Hayao Miyazaki (he makes anime-movies).

I have a beginning to a soon-to-be-completed fairy tale. I, personally, think it's kind of cute. Would that be something acceptable? I mean..it's NOT finished.. Is that alright?

Sure, cute happy stuff is good! If it gives me a warm feeling inside, it's okay!
Besides, you still have some time to finish it. Put your name in your author-notes and I'll judge it last!
You can always try right?

Yay! Thanks for the silver. I'm glad you enjoyed my piece enough to silverfy it.
If a humour contest is your next one, expect to see me there.
