Hola. =] I'm Jennifer and it's nice to meet ya. I think I might be addicted to hosting contests. Once I judge one, I immediately make another one. But that's good for you folks, innit? =D So, let's get started.
*ahem*
I want to read your opinions. Mhm. That's right. I don't care how you write 'em, really. Essays, articles, stories that reflect your opinion(s) somehow---they are all welcome as long as the opinion(s) are clearly defined.
Here are a few suggestions:
1. Music. Does rap suck? Do you loathe metal with a passion? Do you hate the trends music sparks? Tell me.
2. Politics. This, of course, covers a wide spectrum of issues. Pick one and write about it.
3. Technology. I'd be interested in reading about your opinions on the Internet and texting. =]
4. Writing genres. Hell, relate this to writing if you would like. If you think sci-fi is a load of crap, write about it.
I think you get the point. Now, please pay attention to this part. If you're going to enter this contest, please write something that you SUPPORT WITH FACTS. If you'd like to tell me that you're the King/Queen of the USA, go right ahead...but you better have a shit load of facts to support that one. -.-
RULES:
1. Enter as many times as you like. I can handle an overload of entries. It's summer, after all.
2. Prewrites are allowed.
3. There's no word limit, but I have the attention span of a two year old. Take the hint.
4. SUPPORT YOUR OPINIONS WITH FACTS. Jeez.
Now, I shall comment on all entries with positive and negative critiques. I'll also mention if I agree or disagree (if you'd like to debate the issues further, you can always message me =]), but that will have no impact on my judging. I'll judge the entries based on the quality of the writing, the originality of the style, if there are facts to support your opinions, and how well you got your point across among other more minor things.
Comprende? Bueno. Now write. Vamanos!
=]
-jj
[BY THE WAY: You'll notice that the amount of points is small. I plan on adding more points as soon as I get them. =]]

Scifi is a load of crap?
-
-
o.o Sci-fi scares the shit outta me, man.
-jj
-
-
Our friendship is now in serious jeopardy.
-
-
<--- Sci-fi and I! =D
-jj -
-
*cheers up and removes the snarl from his face*
No need to be fake, I was merely kidding. Go ahead and hate scifi if you want .. ... we're still good mates. 
Each to his own!
RJ -
-
Whew. Good. 'Cause sci-fi and I just aren't meant to be.
I've learned to appreciate it 'cause of my other contest with all the "twisted" entries. I realized that you gotta respect the powerful sci-fi or...*whispers*...you could die...
-jj -
-
Hmmm ... appreciate it. That's good.
*spoils the mood by laughing*
Stop being so scared!
The reason I like scifi is because it allows me to dream of what's OUT there.
And you hate it .. because? -
-
Hm. Ya know, now that I think about it, I don't really hate the actual genre...just some of the people that absolutely don't know how to write it...so they come off sounding frickin' scary instead of creative.
-jj -
-
*hopes she doesn't mean me .. *
*prays* -
-
*pats head* Of course I don't mean you. But for the MAJORITY of Storywrite...

Teehee.
*looks back at out convo.*
Man do we yak or what?
-
-
I know! Here we are, taking up tons of space on my contest. lol. I kinda want to see just how small I can make this box...
-jj -
-
Hahaha -- did that once on some group board and it got deleted.
*writes random stuff so that the box would get small* -
-
Let's see who can get the smallest box before it's deleted!
*competitive face* Sorry, RJ, but you're GOIN' DOWN.
*generic ooing*
-jj -
-
Oh no, I'm back and I did not forget!
I'm sorry, JJ, you're the one going down!
PS - Who's the guy on your arm in your avatar?
RJ -
-
BRING IT ON.
Oh, that's Ason! =] 'Tis my boyfriend...for the summer, I suppose. He'll either go back to college or join the Marines. O.O Dunno what will happen.
-jj -
-
Marines, huh? *watches Jarhead and frowns*
Cool. 
Anyways .. boxes getting smaller!
RJ -
-
Erm...Actually, it's Army National Guard...I just didn't listen to him very well when he was talking. xD.
YAY FOR SMALL BOXES.
*looks around* I wonder if I could store my creepy up in here.
-jj -
-
National Guard, huh? Not so bad.
Me, when I have my midlife crisis, I'm going to join the Australian Armed Reserves.
Yeah - envision me doing ten miles with a ten ton backpack.

Yep. I'd love to read something about religion, actually.

-
-
interesting...
-
Gah, I wish I'd seen this contest earlier.
I would've totally entered a mean argument about abortion x_x
I'm way too tired now to actually formulate an effective argument, heh. -

Excellent ! I'll def try to find time to enter this one :]
