I'm so excited! This is going to be my first contest here! 
I can't wait to heck out the talent and ideas of my fellow writers on here. I've held a few contests over on AP, so I know how the contests work and such.
So, it's a prompt contest, because I really don't know what else to do. Here are the options:
Option #1: Use the following line to either start off your story, or use it somewhere within the story, as long as it's there
"The paper crumbled at her touch like a pile of ashes"
Option #2: Write a story about a person's day in the life of a musical.
Option #3: Write the story of a chimp who has had a hard day at work and goes psychotic. What he does is up to you.
Option #4: Write a story about flying cheese and how it is taking over the world
Option #5: Use the following line somewhere in your story:
"As the cool air hit his/(or her, your preference) face while beating down the path, crunching the leaves beneath his/her feet, it felt as if nothing in the world could bring him down."
Option #6: Write a twisted fairytale of some sort... If it's not happy, that's all the better
Option #7: I love penguins, so write anything that has to do with penguins
Option #8: So, a lot of people are afraid of clowns. Write a story about clowns, and make it scary. If I get creeped out, you get *bonus points*
Option #9: Base your story off this quote from the Dark Knight:
"You can either die a hero, or stick around long enough to become the villain."
Option #10: Base your story off of this quote:
"It's not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you"
more options soon to come, soon as I get my thinking cap on!
The rules, because I can be picky:
1. A minimum of 700 words. There is no maximum.
2. No erotica or that type. I'm 19, but I really don't feel like reading it.
3. I assume we all know good grammar, so please stick with it.
My reviews usually aren't too harsh, but if you want it to be, then so be it.
The more entries I receive, the higher I will boost up the point values. So please enter?
I WILL comment on each of the entries, but I will not do so until the final judging, that's just how I do
*If you enter late, I will give you until about 4 or 5 days after this has closed to complete your story. *

Who in the modern world has never heard of Cinderella? Or maybe Little Red Riding Hood? Or even the beautiful Snow White.

Doubts...
This sounds really interesting! I like the options you've given. I'd love to send in an entry if time permits..
Just one question, though...Option #2 doesn't sound too clear. I'm not quite sure what it means; does it mean you want the day in a life of someone acting in a musical, or a day in the life of a character from a musical?....
-
-
like a story about what it would be like to live in a musical, or have a day as a musical... i hope that's more clear

OMG! FLYING CHEESE! I MUST ENTER!DDD
-
Cam i submit a story about a twisted fairy tale? And is bad language allowed? because if your 15 or over u can see the language if your under 15 you cant see the cussing. just wondering
-
-
A twisted fairytale would be fine, and cussing is allowed, but do it in good taste, don't over-do it
-
-
quick question, can we use more than one prompt, because I can come up with a story using three of them, and option #2, does that mean to write about a person who one day everyone around him just starting singing??
-Dani -
-
That would be AMAZING... of course you can use three options, as long as it fits! lol... it should be interesting
-
-
It's clearer now. Thank you
-
Flying cheese...
does the flying cheese have to save the world, because i was thinking about making it destroy the word instead... -
-
no, i did not say that it has to save the world. It's perfectly fine if it destroys the world. I said that the cheese were taking over the world. I think that's different from saving it. lol
-
-
May I reword Option #5 as follows: The cool air hit my face as I walked down the path from her house, crunching the leaves beneath my feet; it felt as if nothing in the world could bring me down.
-
-
Yeah, that's absolutely fine. Whatever suits you, as long as I know what option it's supposed to be.
-
-
Dang, I had a pre write I wanted to enter. Next time. Good luck with your contest.
