Just... Words.

I would like something exactly fifty, exactly fourty, exactly thirty, exactly twenty, exactly ten, or just two words.

Simple enough?

I know, these contests have been around a lot lately, but I did one a while back, a few, actually, and I absolutely loved my results.


So.

Guidelines:


♥ Any topic goes. But when it's this short, I need it to pack a punch. I want to feel it. As I've said ten and a half trillion times.

♥ Please, don't be dumb. Actually do the right amount of words.

♥ Brownie points for gender in author's notes.

♥ Enter as many times as you want; please let me know if you do more than once, though.

♥ Put some thought into it. This is not easy, as it may seem.



Thank you so much, and I can't wait for your entries. :]


Oh. And points will go up as I get entries.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 16, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 200, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 6 people
  • Final notes:
    Oh, goodness.

    Ending this a bit early.

    It was horrible, yet wonderful for me to judge.

    Anyone who won something;

    Be proud. It's something you should be proud of.

    Yours stood out. Either they were original, or just hit me hard, the way I wanted them to for the contest.

    Anyone who didn't;

    Hold you head up. Every single entry I got was brilliant. You should be proud, too...

    I meant every comment I made.

    Great work, EVERYONE.

    And keep writing.

  9. It doesn’t matter. Does anything anymore? All the pain, all the sacrifice. Nothing will take it back, make it go away. But will it ever stop? Always have been, always will be: stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    Tay... Why do have to look so miserable in your pictures? Snaps my heart in two.

        You don't have to if you don't want to. They are your pictures after all. It just... hurts, seeing you like that.

          Please don't hurt. I'm happy now. I have you. And I don't mind; they're ugly, anyway

            I'm glad. You deserve to be. And I have you.

            They couldn't be ugly even if you tried, Taylor.

      Of course you're not!

      I didn't think I'd get 20 entries before I got back on.

      I'm changing the limit to fourty entries :]
