Stepping into the contest vault, your eyes land on an ancient door, untouched by the hands of time. Curious, you step up to the door. You find it locked. Thinking there must be key around somewhere, you search the vault.
Finding no key, you step back up to the door and knock. You hear a reply that echoes around the whole room, coming from the door itself.
"To enter this door, you must first write a story of good stature. Give me your best. I'll give you five options. Pick and then bring them so I can hear. The options are:
1) In Chatterbox Square, you find one of your best friends from Storywrite Town murdered. It's up to you to solve the mystery, find the killer, and describe to me the outside world of StoryWrite Town.
2) Write the best horror story of all time. I want you to make my blood run cold. Yes, I'm a door, but I'm a living door. Make me afraid.
3) Write the best mystery story ever. It can be of any lineage. Werewolf, vampire, dhampire, human, and the likes. I want to see what you come up with.
4) Sticking with tradition for mystery and mayhem, I want you to write a story of your biggest fear. Let me see why you're so afraid. Be sure this is in story form. And last but not least,
5) I want a story of StoryWrite Town's creation. Tell me about how StoryWrite Town was formed, how the Moderators came to be, and how the Greeters came to be.
With that, the door falls silent, waiting for you to come up with the best story you can. Only the best can enter the room behind the door. Will you be one of the best?
Now for the rules:
1) I reserve the right to DQ any entries that do not meet the standards of the contest.
2) No erotica please, or if it's in the story, please keep it to a minimum.
3) Keep swearing to a minimum. It's not needed, and I find it offensive.
4) No TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. It's annoying and I think everyone agrees that it shows immaturity.
5) Bring me your best. Grammar and spelling aren't necessary, but please at least show me you tried to get it right. If the story has too many mistakes and I can't understand it, it WILL be disqualified.
6) Most of all, I want you to have fun while you're writing. Don't push yourself into writing. If you're not finished by the time the contest ends, I will give you a few more days to finish it, but no more than 4 unless you ask for more time in a message to me.
7) In your authors notes, please put the number of the option you chose.
That's it. For the winners, I'll let you know what's behind the door.
Good luck and let's see what you've got.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 28, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Sorry I'm so late judging, but I was hoping for a few more stories to be entered, so I kept editing and making it longer. Well, each story was good, so all 4 of you are getting something. ^_^ Behind the door was supposed to be another contest, but since I only got four entries, I don't see much of a point in making another one for this. ^_^ Great job all of you and keep penning.
