War in Song

The whole point...

Write a story or poem about war. Use a song prompt. Put the lyrics and artist and title in your A/N.

A really good song that I recommend is "Unknown Soldier" by Breaking Benjamin.

That's it.

------------------------------------------------

That's it - and pleeeeeeeeeeeease enter!!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 19, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 100
  • Final notes:
    What a successful contest!
    The contest is over, as you can see. I didn't judge people on the song they used, or whether they used my suggestion song or not. I judged on how well-written your story was, and how it captured my attention. This was quite a hard contest to judge, and if I could, I would've given you all first prize. I hope you enjoyed writing these stories!
    You all did such a great job! Thanks for entering!
