For my second contest, I would like you to give me some beautiful, deep philosophy that means something.
I will definitely comment on every 'accepted' entry.
Be sure to read the rules before entering.
Rules:
1. Good grammar and punctuation is a must. I am extremely picky, and points will be taken off if you have been too lazy to proof-read your story.
2. Poetry is accepted, but it must be beautiful and flawless.
3. Prewrites are accepted, but they must fit into the context completely. In your author's notes explain how your story is philosphical. Use the word 'philosophical' in your notes... I will be reading them carefully.
4. No more than 2500 words, no exceptions. And if your story is really short, your vocabulary should be impressive, and I should be thoroughly satisfied with the ending.
5. No chapters. I want complete pieces with definite endings.
6. No erotica or excessive swearing.
7. Everyone must comment on one of my stories; I won't be including comments made in the past. I will be checking this.
8. Be original. I will be deducting points for any cliche writing, I promise.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on September 10
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: Honestly, I didn't read most of the entries. Most of you commented on one of my stories, but then forgot to explain how your story is philosophical in your notes.
But the entries I did read and consequently comment on were wonderful.
Thank you all for entering.

What do you mean by phlilosophy? I have a story that is deep, I don't know if has a bunch of lessons about life though- has a message.
So can i enter it? -
-
If it has a message and it is deep, I would definitely like you to enter it.
-
-
Mhmm.....rule seven seems like ur abusing ur powers. Seriously, i'll enter a story, but hell, you'd best give us a story worth reading, unless you want a whole bunch of useless, one-liner comments.
-
I have a story that is rather short, but it is written from the perspective of a mentally challenged homeless man, so the grammar is less than perfect. May I still enter?
-
-
But unless the man is actually talking, shouldn't the grammar be proper anyway? That is just my opinion. If you think that the grammar would not offend my eyes too much, then you may enter.

Thank you for awarding me the silver trophy! This means so much to me. I'm really glad you liked the story. 200 points?! Now what am I going to do with that? Well, gotta host a contest I guess
Thank you for hosting the contest!
