Hey guys, yes, finally, my second contest. My first went soo well, I decided to try another, this time with more point involved.
Anyway, this time, I want to get depressed. Not suicidal look at me I'm an emo, kind of depressed, but really really really gloomy. Unrequited love gloomyness. I've had crushes on peiople, but never actually told them until it was too late, but that's just me. I want to feel that sadness that you know that they're never going to go out with you because you're such a scardycat and didn't actually told them about you're feelings kind of sadness, if you get my drift
Rules are fairly straightforward
1. No gay bashing. I dont care if the main character is a homosexual, in fact, I would quite like it, I happen to like that stuff. I just dont want him/gher not telling/being refused because the other person is homophobic, kay?
2. No word limit, any length is fine, but if it's really long and not upsetting enough, then I wont read it all
3. No erotica. My computer wont actually let me see it, somthing to do with the filtering. Not that I have any inclination to read anything like it.
4. No swearing. A little doesnt matter, but I dont want swear words every other word kind of thing.
5. No ChAt SpEaK oR aNyThInG lIkE tHiS
That all from me. Just do your best, and may the best people win, and get honourable medals. Come on, you know you want to entre really.

I'm not clear, is any dark story allowed, or does it have to be a love story?
-
-
really, a love story
it kind of has to be both. It has to be a dark love story, one of unrequited love. The unrequitedness of it can be for any reason, but there has to be deep melancony there, because the main character loves another, and for whatever reason they are destined not to be together, because the main character is too scared to tell the other person, or because the other person doesnt return their feelings. Hope this helps -

Ok, no worries. I have nothing to offer for this contest then.

Not all emos are suicidal just saying, so people that are emo who are depressed aren't either ' all look at me' then they probably aren't suicidal because it doesn't tend to work like that.
