Okay, here est another contest by mi! (My second, es no magnifique?).
Wait, did I just type Spanish, French and English? >_<
Btw, if you don't know, the contest picture is the Four Beauties of China. ^^ You may write an entry based on this, maybe.
Oh well!
[*]♥[*]
Let's make this short. [Haha, you thought I was serious? READ IT ALL, right down to the hyper emoticon, it might just get your butt a gold.] Anywho...
I want beautiful entries.
They must either make me cry...
☻ Or smile. [not completely burst out laughing! A happy, content smile.]
I want those happy-sad stories that might make you cry but make you feel so good inside at the same time. I'd like to cry tears of joy. 
○ But there's a catch. Your entries must be based off some options. They're things that I really find beautiful, and want to be inspired to write something, but if you know me, I'm not that easy to get to writing.
So I'd just like to read some inspiration instead.
○ Anyway, your options to choose from will be words, pictures, and songs . ☺
Here are your
s, use them wisely:
~*Words*~ [No, you don't HAVE to use them in your creations, but that would be cool. Be sure to put your word in your AN; Author Notes.]
[♥] Resplendent (adj): having great beauty and splendor.
[♥] Opalescence (n): the visual property of something having a milky brightness and a play of colors from the surface.
[♥] Coalesce (v): mix together different elements.
[♥] Crystalline (adj): consisting of or containing or of the nature of crystals.
[♥] Catharsis (n): (psychoanalysis) purging of emotional tensions.
[♥] Kaleidoscope (n): a complex pattern of constantly changing colors and shapes.
[♥] Refulgent (adj): radiating or as if radiating light.
[♥] Felicity (n): pleasing and appropriate manner or style (especially manner or style of expression).
[♥] Aqueous (adj): similar to or containing or dissolved in water.

=== Sorry about that! Got carried away, but at least you get more to choose from!...Anyways, if you want, look up the lyrics here --> http://www.lyricsmode.com/ (or Yahoo! Music if you prefer) ===
♥♥♥ Rules, well, not really rules...Okay, who am I kidding? They are.
You may enter adult stories. You can have your gruesome touches and whatnot, but make sure the central theme is very beautiful and emotional, hmmkay?.
I'm not really afraid to read much nowadays. But still, my brain cries for not too much. 3500 word limit. And the least you may write is 20 words. [Message me if you want to negotiate...]
Message me if you want to enter a fanfic. But please, hesitate to ask.
EDIT: Prewrites allowed. xD
EDIT: Multiple entries allowed. xD I don't know why I suck up to you guys.
No profanity, or bashing. I'm not saying you can't have a character who's very obnoxious or offensive, but please don't make it too true to heart, meaning, don't offend anybody seriously.
Please put what option you chose and your username in your Author Notes, and yes, you may mix options, whatever floats your Titanic of imagination [A glacier floats mine.]
Homosexuality allowed.
Stories, poems, scripts, lyrics and all that stuff are allowed!
nO tYpInG lIkE yOu BeLoNg In A mEnTaL iNsTiTuTiOn. There's something called spell check, there's also something called common sense. Sometimes it's hard to believe people can be so daft with their writing, have you taken no English class?! People whose native language isn't even English type better than some English-native people I've seen!
Story must be beautiful, deep, meaningful, sad yet happy, only sad, only happy. One of those or more.
***Key Notes***
My favourite genres are fantasy, adventure, abuse and suspense. I like short stories. I love Japanese-themed stories (but I don't fancy fanfiction much, especially Naruto). I love stories about big brothers and little sisters. I'm also beginning to like stories about single families. I sometimes like war stories (but, in a fantasy/science-fiction way, I can't stand reading about the World Wars or Middle Eastern wars.)
P.S.: I might not comment on your entry, but don't feel bad, I'll read all the entries and when the time comes, there shall be true judgment.
~~~
Anyways, I guess that's all. Remember if you have any questions, please be free to ask!

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on October 25, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 250, Silver: 150, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 17 people
- Final notes: I'm not sad because all the entries are beautiful (ok, I kind of am), I'm sad because I had such a hard time judging! *sighs* Sorry I kept up the contest so long, and now it has finally come to an end! All of you gave really amazing entries, and it was hard to choose who was better than who (cause you guys are actually all amazing in your own way).
The Winners are as Follows:
Study of a Shy Girl (Version 2) - Beautiful stories sound even more beautiful with amazing descriptions I'm not sure how to describe it, but the form of writing is very exquisite and one of my favourites. Just the overall feeling and beauty of it all opened my heart and made me feel every emotion you put into this.
View From an Outsider - YAY FOR GAY ROMANCE! You already got brownie points for forbidden love, as a matter of fact, it didn't even seem like forbidden love. One thing I was stunned at was the overall normality of what was going on, writers don't usually make it seem so okay and dandy! I'm glad that yours was unique, the imagery was very very vivid and strong. It was a very heartfelt read!
Something I Can Never Have - Gripping, painful, but beautiful none the less. A dark, sad read with a powerful message within cleverly worded lines. This really touched my soul, and I felt the emotion strongly.
I wished I could give all of you gold! Okay, I don't recall if any entry made me cry (but that's a seriously hard task anyway), point is, you almost did O__o Not nice! Princey no do crying! Anyways, you gave me what I asked for, you followed the rules and touched my heart! I just want to thank you guys for all the hard work you put into your stories, for sharing it with our fellow SW members and reaching our hearts. Keep on writing and I wish you the best of luck!
*reads over* Whoah, long message XD
