Anything but poetry up to 5000 words

Ok, these are my favorite contests to judge. 

Submit your best piece of 'anything except Poetry' up to 5000 words! 

I must emphasise BEST ....meaning well written, and PROOFREAD!!!  Something you put your heart into and hold lovingly in gentle hands:)  Usually, I am forgiving, and let a lot slide with rules and such.  Not this time.  If rules not followed, ....well see ya! 

Rules: 

NO poetry....I am not that great of a judge and don't really find it fair for me to do so. 

More than 100 words and LESS than 5000.  I will not even read anything that is over the limit.  Usually do, but not this time.  sorry.  

Alright, that's it!  No more rules.  Easy enough right:) 

Notes:  I am usually not offended by language or genre selection.  I am more apt to enjoy fantasy, erotic/romance and horror, but i usually enjoy everything.  Don't care for Fan-fics, but will read them if they are well done. 

Just be creative in your pre-write selection or new story and I will most likely love it.  

Points will go up. 

Will comment on them all/with honesty.

  • Aiyee, I really consider "Doubt" the best thing I've done in a long time, but I probably shouldn't enter that one, eh? XD I suppose I'll take my chances on a fresh write...
