Fantasy Lovers Galore

I'm in the mood to read some fantasy. And when I say fantasy I MEAN fantasy. Pure fantasy that many of us love that hold such elements as kings and queens, faeries, elves, dragons, knights, magical realms, etc. Entrance me with fantasy. And with this fantasy contest that I've set up, I will be providing you with some picture prompts. I know that those can be annoying so I've decided to let people use the pictures I've provided or not use one at all OR use one of their own. AS LONG as it meets the requirements of this contest, which is fantasy.

THE PROMPTS:

-People/Scenery:

RULES:
1. I don't want horror stories.
2. Keep erotica to a limit. It's ok if you want to add a love scene but I'm not really in the mood to read about a five minute long explicit scene between two people.
3. No gay pairings. I don't mind them but I'm not in the mood to read them right now.
4. Everyone should know how to type so you know what this rule is. Please check your grammar more than your spelling.
5. If you used a picture(s) please post the link in your author's notes.
6. 200 words minimum and 8000 words maximum (message me if you would like to submit something over that).

A few tips or suggestions:
-I have posted many different prompts that are categorized as Landscapes, People/scenes, and Pairings (for love stories). Those pictures don't have to be used but I would love it if you did use them. As I've stated before, you can use your own ONLY if it pertains to the contest aka Fantasy. You can mix up the pictures if you want. You can mix as many as you want. For example you can mix a landscape picture with a people picture or a pairing/love picture with landscape. Make a culture for a landscape or make a person from one picture live in a certain landscape picture. You'll also notice that I'm allowing pre-written stories. If you have already written something that pertains to this contest then you can pick a prompt(s) that closely resembles your story or world. Anything you want to do as long as it's fantasy. Put the links in your author's notes and have fun! Good luck.

Closing date for judging is subject to change. If you need more time let me know. I will comment on every entry.

      That's fine. I would love for you to submit it! I will more than likely change the wording to 8000 max so go ahead.
