Okay I freakin love contests only I never enter in them because I am not so good as just spitting out work. And when I do try it I still somehow never seem to win.
Anyway enough about my entering contests history.
This, my friends is my first contest ever!!!! I am totally stoked Yall, don't let me down.
Pre writes and new stories both accepted.
Just for a little background on myself I Dance, Art and Write. Dancing is my lifeblood. Art is my soul. Writing is what keeps me sane when the other two fail me.
I Heart Picture prompt's! That’s why I am hosting a picture prompt contest. Duh.
I know there are quite a few picture prompt contests up right now but what makes mine different is well I don't really know. Its different because all these pictures have a deep meaning for me. I wont tell you because I want to see what you come up with when you write on these pictures. Have fun and gimme your best!
Firstly the Prompts!!!!!

Secondly the Icky Rules so then you can get down to the fun part.
Rules: (What’s NOT allowed)
Rule One: No sticky caps. NonE oF tHiS CraPPolA. Automatic DQ I can't stand to read it so ... I wont. Fair enough?
Rule Two: No heavy religion bashing. If its your character to bash religion then keep it light If you have questions about the religion bashing Message me and we will talk it over.
Rule Three: No extreme over the top erotica or adult whatevers. I want more to your story than purely Erotica. Please make it a story. If it fits fine. If its just that find a new contest.
Rule Four: Grammar punctuation and spelling. Now I am not perfect myself in this area but for cryin out loud, Yall can spell check. If your computer doesn't do well with the Storywrite spell check go to a word document copy past and check spelling; we are all smart enough to be able to handle that. A few errors here and there are fine but massive glaring mistakes are going to be duly noted and you will be informed and have a few days to fix them before I DQ your piece. I have little patience for spelling punctuation and grammatical errors while I am writing.
Now the rules you MUST follow in order to stay in the contest.
Rule Five: Put your favorite food in your Authors Notes. Just so I know you read the Rules.
Rule Six: Put the picture you wrote on at the very beginning of your Authors Notes. And a sentence or two at least about why you chose that one. If you have a pre written story explain how the picture fits the story... unless its glaringly obvious. But I want you to explain for the slower people anyway. So just straight up write how the picture fit the story.
That’s it for rules.
Now for the clarification things so there is no confusion.
Pretty much any Genre/category goes.
Any length. If its massively long I probably wont read it straight off.
If I get bored while reading your work I will stop and come back in a few days and try again. (cause maybe it was a fluke day or something) If the second time I still can't find it interesting, Sorry, no dice. Your outta luck honey. Deuces man.
Pre writes and new stories both accepted. (If I mention it enough do you think I will keep the pre writers attention?)
Have fun Yall!!!

Lmao, Eli, the last line cracked me up irl!!
Oh, my fav would have to be Phillipe Abril...not sure about the spelling. But his is media art. o__o

-
Well thats just me! I do say Yall.
-
-
I say ya'll too. It's a southern thing for me..It's in everyone's vocabulary that I know.
-
-
See I am not from the south, I just say it.
-
-
Yeah it's just something that many people from the north will say that southern people say. But really a lot of people say it. It's just there ya know?
-
-
South
I always figured it was spelled Y'all since it seems awkward to say Ya and finish it off with an LLL sound, though more appropriate to abreviate the word You and say the entire word All as it was intended. LOL. Pardon my smart-a$$-ness. Heehee. Just joking around with y'all~! Elli... with as many people as mistake ME for being from the south, I would think for sure they would mistake you for being from the south seeing as how we're sorta related and all.
-
-
Ha yeah that actually makes more sense. Y'all. You all. XD

More people are commenting on this contest than entering.
-
-
That's how my last two contests went..More people commented on it saying how much they loved it but no one submitted..I had to delete them. I'm sorry.
-
-
Thats lame I am sorry. I don't do contests well or I would have joined. But like I said I don't do the whole spontanious write something right on the spot I want to think about it and make it good. I can't ever do that fast enough for judging.
Oh well.
