Many Options :D (My First Contest!)

Oh yeah! I made that banner thingy today! Sorry, that was off topic.

Woo hoo, guys! It's my first contest. Hopefully by the end of this description, you'll be as excited as I am :]

So, I have a bunch of options for you, and here they are:

1. Give me a great Twilight fanfic. Make me believe every word you say, make me confuse it with any of the three books themselves. Write before the series, during, or after it. Add in characters (just no mary-sues unless you plan on killing them :]). If you stay true to Ms. Meyer's characters, you'll have a hit with me.

2. Write me a story based on a song. Any song. It could be anything from "Who Let the Dogs Out" to "Love Me Tender". Seriously, I adore music, and I love to write songfics. You can combine this option with the first, if you'd like (for instance, using a song as inspiration for a Twilight fic). Just be sure to post either the lyrics OR the Title and Artist of the song somewhere where I can see it.

3. Write me romance! I am one of the biggest suckers for romance in the universe. If you can make me fall in love with the characters, make me really feel for them. Brownie points if it's a romance having to do with werewolves or vampires.

4. Scare me! Make me shiver! Just don't make it rape or anything, because that's just... ugh.

5. Write me something sad. Sad romances are a favorite of mine, I love Romeo and Juliet and such.

6. Write me something philosophical. The meaning of life, what love really is in your words, religious (do NOT bash religions, be respectful). I like to see if people think the way I think, and I like to learn new ways of thinking.

7. Write me a werewolf or vampire story, but don't use too many cliche's. Make them your own.

8. Pirates are always an option in my book. I love them. Write me anything about pirates.


Alright, I think that's it.

Now for the Guidelines, short and sweet:

1. Limit two entries per person, and please nothing over 3000 words. Unless, of course, you captivate me.

2. Excessive swearing is fine. I'm used to it, and sometimes it helps stay in character.

3. No erotica, please. It's my first contest, and I don't want to be like, "Agh! Woah nelly." If you know what I'm saying.

4. If you have less than five trophies, please, enter more than twice. I'm all about equal opportunity, but sometimes you just want to see which ones will work.

5. NoNe Of ThIs. ItS sTuPiD aNd AnNoYiNg. And don't say LOL or whatever. That's not writing, that's AIM.


So that's about it. Enter away and thanks if you do!
