This is my second go at a contest. The first one went pretty well, hopefully this will go just as well.
Though the word 'rant' is usually associated with anger, hate, and depression; I feel it's more about expressing yourself without feeling the need to put your expression in a certain format.
So, I came up with this contest.
I want your rants. Whatever it is you feel strongly about. There are a few rules to this contest so please read them carefully. Hopefully they aren't stern enough to squash your enthusiasm.
The Rules:
1. Please do not submit anything about politics, the current or soon-to-be president, or the stock market. I've heard enough about it from the news, thanks. ^-^
2. Keep it to one topic.
3. No stories, please. Unless it's a part where your character is going off on a rant, then it's okay.
4. Legible. If it's angry, please keep it legible. Any illegible entries with run-ons, ect, will be deleted.
5. Nothing less than 500 words or more than 10000 please.
6. Most important....make it something you trully feel! The more emotion, the higher your chances! And HAVE FUN!
Points will go up as rants are added. Gold will probably hit at least 400 points before the end of the contest. All entries will be commented.
GET UP ON YOUR SOAPBOXES, MY FRIENDS!

What is love? What is it? Maybe its a chemical imbalance in our brains, or maybe it's just an animalistic instinct that makes us attracted to one another by something so simplistic as appearence or sound.
