Welcome to yet another contest by your fair princess. I promise this one will be much better! *cough*maybe**cough* Anyways, for some reason I've suddenly become interested in the world of surreal thoughts and mental illnesses (I might have one, so yeah XD) especially since watching that episode of Law and Order SVU last night called "Swing", I really cried while watching it, and I want to feel more of that emotion. I think it'd be interesting to see the world from another point of view, the surrealism and the madness which never seems to make any sense, but terrifying at the same time. Like Alice in Wonderland!
It's up to YOU to make me really feel these things. I'll give you some options so you can know exactly what I want, and some to spark your creativity while you're at it.
But First:
*~*~THE RULES~*~*
1. No profanity/bashing/etcetera. You can have characters who shun the mentally ill person but that's the only form of bashing I'll allow.
2. I know this is a contest about the insane and mentally ill, but please don't come here TyPiNg LiKe ThIs. Please proof read and spell check, and correct your grammar if it sounds funny, ok?
3. Word limit, let's say...5000? If you give me a 10, 000 worded entry, I might read it, but in your comments I'll slap you silly if you haven't touched me
4. It doesn't have to be a story, it can be a song, poem, script, quote, anything, just as long as it fits the contest requirements.
5. Adult, erotica, especially abuse welcome.
6. I don't want crazy, crappy entries, I want beautiful, heartfelt entries about crazy people (not limited to me).
7. If you want to enter a random, funny, crazy story to make this contest less depressing, ask me first and I might squeeze you in.
8. HAVE FUN!

Question my dear...
Is it okay if I use a picture AND a quote?
-Lexie -
-
Yes, my dear goat-sister
You may mix and match options as much as you like.
-
-
Thank you, I hope to have entered something by the end of the day...or at least by tomorrows end.
-
-
You're welcome! Good luck! I look forward to reading your entry
*pokes you*
-
-
-
-
what about a eating disorder which in a way is a mental thing?
-
-
O.O Ooooh, nice idea ol chap!
You may enter that if you want ^^
-
-
Kind of a spoiler...
Hey... my entry is "he walked a fine line." It is one i wrote a while back, but it's perfect for this contest... Problem: If I tell you which option I used... it would kind of be a spoiler... so... umm... do I have to tell you which opt. I used? -
-
Hm, how bout you only tell me in a private message? I like spoilers
-
-
does our entry have to beautiful and touching? I have an MPD story, but it's not sweet and wonderful or anything like that.
-
-
Depends, what is it? Dark and horrifying, or funny and enlightening? You can enter either.
-
-
it's in between. But you'll see when you read it.
-
-
-
Option I is... my entire body of work because that's what I am and what I do.
Hard to decide what to enter... -
-
Lol, good luck with that Try thinking of what you would say is your best work, or ask some of your friends for their opinions on your favourite pieces.
-
-
Well, it's hard, because none of the stories is *about* a mentally ill person expressing themself in art, or *specifically* any of the prompts, exactly. I have serial killer stories, drug use stories (but not drug *abuse*)...
-
-
I'll accept psychopathic serial killers As long as it's crazy it's welcome here!
-
-
Done. Hope that's what you were looking for. If you like Crazy People Art, though, I have to recommend my own work in general, both here and on AllPoetry. I vent a whole lot through writing.
-
-
-
-
-
wow!
This sums me up in a nutshell! (I.) A mentally ill person who expresses their thoughts through art [Brownie Points] - I have bipolar, OCD, and depression, and I express myself through Art (writing) I am def. entering!
-
-
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Wait - you're bipolar?
Cool! I know someone who's bipolar now! *high fives you*
You have depression? Awwww!
Ria: -_- And yet Princess is crazier.
What kind of world are we living in?
*ahem* I look forward to your entry
-
-
how many times can we enter?
-
-
only one time, sorry
-
-
*has add*
Lol, yay shiny If you give me a shiny trophy, I can stare at it for a while
-
A teen who has ADD! OH PICK ME PLEASE! I AM ONE! O__o hehe.
-
3 questions:
1)I have a poem about Vampirism;
2)I have a poem about a man who has been talking to monsters;
3)I have a short story poem about a man out for revenge;
Do any of those count? And if not Can I just enter them because they sound good for a contest about mental issues. -
-
Well, you can enter number 2 or 3 ^^
