Ty here...
Seeing as this is my first contest I decided to make it on something I just found out was really fun.
You know when you hear a song and it sticks to your head forever...I want you to take that song and dissect it. Each line of the song has to add to your story line. You can pick any type od song except classical because it's the words that will make your story as they are.
If you need an example you could look at my Un Moto Di Gioja, this is what I did to that song. Or:
Example 1.
Let's take a Taylor Swift song...umm...Our Song.
You'd put all the lyrics to the song first sperated into the lines that you will be putting your story in between. So let's say I did that and I'm starting at the beginning...
I was riding shot gun...
It was an amazingly, wonderful day with the sun shining and he had the top of his convertable down. He drove faster than he really should have but I was enjoying myself too much to really care.
With my hair undone...
The wind dragged it's fingers through my hair tieing into knots that would take forever to get out.
And so on and so forth etc., etc. (My mom forced me to watch the King and I last night and that etc., etc. thing is stuck in my head).
If you still don't get it message me I don't bite (hard).
~Rules~ (Bet you never saw this coming)
1. No word limit. Writing shouldn't have one but I will probably read shorter one's first but I will get to all of them.
2. Swearing, I couldn't care less actually.
3. I am 14. Remember this when you write your story. I will not change the settings to view a story, and if I have to I will disqualify you which means. No erotica please.
4. To prove that you have read through all my mindless rambling put the song you're doing in you AN's.
5. I don't have one for five but five is easier to divide with than four so I wasn't going to leave it out.

Good idea for a contest I may have to give this a go, just have to find a song that is um... clean? Nearly every CD I own has a advicement sticker on it. I hate that song by Taylor swift, my roomate sang it over and over and over again for almost a week...
I'll try to enter.
-
cool idea... The King and I is one of my favorite musicals. I hate how the King dies at the end though, it always makes me sad. It's a classic, along with Calamity Jane.
Anyways... this is really interesting... I may enter, if my brain allows -
Quick question...Do you want the whole song or just a part of it?
-
Can we enter more than once?
I've already entered and thought it was so fun that I'd try it again XD
Great contest!
