☺Asian Cheese ♠ {Asian Influenced Picture Options}♣

Ok, I know you're all thinking I'm mad right now but seriously, I just wanna read some stories based on Asian culture. And yes, surprisingly [ it's really surprisingly since I don't fancy them ] I'm allowing fan-fiction.

Now first off, I wanna introduce you to the rules, I have to put this first, cause a lot of people are still breaking rules like it's nobody's business. NOW JUST READ AND FOLLOW THE DARN THING:

[+] Go easy on the anime-like stories, okay? If you can, make it as realistic as possible. But you can still try and win my heart with a great anime-influenced story.

[+] Haikus allowed! Remember, haikus are poems often, but not always dealing with aspects of nature. The format is set out with the first and third lines having 5 syllables and the middle line consisting of 7 syllables.

[-] No Adult, Abuse, Erotica categories. Whatever else I, a 13 year old goody too shoes, am exempted from by order of StoryWrite's laws, is prohibited too. But please, I will accept gore, and lots of it.

[+] Word limit, eh...let's so around 2500, k?

[+] Make it original.

[+] Homosexuality allowed, but remember no erotica! [seriously, why is it such a erotic subject? ]

[-] No tYpInG lIkE a DrUnKeN mOnKeY, please, check your grammar, punctuation, spelling and paragraphs! I used to wear glasses and I ain't looking forward to them again!

[+] Tell me what picture number you chose, please.

[+] You won't be DQued if you break the rules [kicks myself for allowing this rule ]


Anyways, here are the prompts, drumroll please! [crickets chirp]. Good enough! (Another question, why is anime and Asian-based art mostly centered around girls and nature? ) And you may also use the contest picture above as an option too.

  [+] Homosexuality allowed, but remember no erotica! [seriously, why is it such a erotic subject? ]
  
  Anime?
  because of all the hentai, yaoi and yuri catigories that fall under anime
  
  Asians?
  because they're hawt .-.
  
  Homsexuality?
  Because it's hawt...
