Hola,
I've been wanting to do this contest for the longest time ever...so if you don't hit me with your best shot I will be totally disappointed in you. Ready for this now?
I want you to describe something. Simple enough right? No.
Describe something very very well. I want to be able to picture it. Pick away at every detail imaginable. I want to hear about texture, size, color, shape, complexity, or simplicity. Compare the thing your describing to different things.
You can describe:
♥ an object ((any random thing-a-ma-bob))
♥ an action
♥ a feeling
R ules:
♥ I don't want this in a story or a poem form. Sorry.
♥ It should just be a few paragraphs. Tis all. Just please, please, please be as descriptive as possible.
♥ In the authors notes you can explain why you chose what you did, ONLY if you want to. T'will be greatly appreciated.
♥ You can enter as many times as you want, so let your imagination run wild.
If there is any misinterpretation, ask me, I will be happy to explain XD
I will provide an example to show you what I'm talking about, just give me some time for that as well. (I will describe the picture when I get it up.)
Like I said hit me with your best shot.
♥ Toodles.
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 6, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 150, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 10 people
- Final notes: First of all, I was AMAZED by some of the beautiful descriptions I got in the contest. Everyone did a fantastic job. Some need a little work, but had serious potential. I will be making another contest like this for sure. Judging this contest was hard, and thats why I made so many Honorable Mentions, because even though some might not have placed, they still deserve credit for the awesome entry. [=
Thank you for all of your time and effort, you made everything simply wonderful.

Can I use a part of a prewrite?
One that had a word limit so I submitted part of that for a contest. I hadn't finished writing it though and the rest of it is on my computer. Its something I've been working on for a while, but it could fit with the contest. Can I enter it? -
-
Oh Yes! you most certainly can.

-
I'm entering at least twice. ONe entry I just wrote is like 800 words.. Is that too long?
-
-
