Going for Gold!

Ok! I am no longer a novice doing their first contest! I have discovered that running contests is the best, and i also love being able to give good writers the rewards they deserve.

Soooo, this time it's all about GOLD! Gold in a contest is great but some people (like me) have not yet won a gold, and some may just want another, which is fine too. So i want you to enter a story that can be new or prewritten that you think deserves the gold, and because of this gold is the only award up for grabs. However there are a few rules...

Well you didn't think it was going to be that easy did you? The rules are these:

RULES:
No Bashing of any sort
No swearing
No Erotica or Adult
No TaLkInG lIkE tHiS

So actually the rules aren't that hard to follow!

I will comment on all entries.

You can have any genre.

But most importantly have fun!

Hope you enter!



OK, I know i said there was just going to be gold, but there are way to many good stories in here to only give one award, there are also going to be 10 honorable mentions!

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 21, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 150, Honorable mention: 10 people
  • Final notes:
    Phew, sorry that I closed this contest early but I was very tired and I had picked my winners. Thankyou so much to everyone who entered and this decision was far from easy. But after a long long think and rereading ALL of the entries I decided that the overall winner had to be "Would I Say Yes". Thankyou so much again and congratulations to our gold winner and the 10 honourable mentions. Look out for another contest by me coming soon!

    Hey Neolittlefish,

    I appreciate your comment on my Trick Or Treat?! story. I wanted to let you know that I made some revisions. I corrected more of the spelling and changed paragraphs where the speakers changed. I also added a rich text effect in a coulple of places. Thought I'd let you know.
