Greetings, lovely people!
As the title implies, I want pain. Give me soul-shattering anguish, despair and hopelessness that'll make me feel downright horrible!
I'm not a crier, so if your story brings me to tears, you will probably win gold.
Since this is my party, there are a few ground rules to play by:
-SPELL-CHECK, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
- Try and keep it to around 2500 words. I don't want to read a novel.
- No sci-fi/fantasy. I dislike it, and don't feel I'd be able to judge it fairly.
- No poetry. That's what AllPOETRY is for.
- No emo garbage. You can write about self-harm, but I don't want to hear about how you cut yourself because your mom said to fix your hair.
- No promoting self-harm, rape, or abuse of anyone/anything.
- Please mark all adult or erotic entries appropriately.
If you have any questions, or if you need a prompt, please ask!
Good luck ♥

Eh...can we go a wee bit over the word limit?
-
-
I guess about a hundred words over would be acceptable... But I have a rather short attention-span, so I ask that you don't give me an epic. You know, a la Tolkien?
-
-
Do you mean emotional pain specifically, or physical pain, or what?
-
-
Either one... A lot of the times, such as in the case of self-harmers, the two can be interrelated... I'd prefer emotional pain, but I say try and use them together... I just want to be utterly sick with the emotion!
-
-
Hmmmm. I was thinking of entering either one of my favorite White Room torture-murder scenes, or this one I've got about this guy watching his blood brother, a serial killer who targeted rapists preferentially, be executed. But I'm no longer sure that's really what you're looking for. Hrnff. I'll muse on this one for a while then... thank you.
-
-
Well, if you can do it without glorifying the killing too much, then I say go ahead.
-
-
-
-
Ok, you say give pain, but in your rules, you forgo many aspects of pain. That is a contradiction. was going to enter, but seems too complicated.
-
-
All right, I suppose what I should have said was:
NO EMO: I understand that teen angst is very in-fashion at the moment, but it's not what I'm looking for. I want raw anguish, not the whiny, 'mom said to fix my hair, so now I must slit my wrists and die' type of pain.
NO PROMOTION OF...: What sick person promotes self-harm, rape, or abuse? I mean, what kind of depravity is that, anyway?
Hope that clears up any misunderstandings. If you have any questions, please ask!

-
Can you enter twice cause I have two stories I really like that could fit ? I entered one and I won't if you say no. so just wondering
-
-
I might open it up to multiples near the end, but for now, just go woth your best one
