The point of this contest is to make me cry my eyes out. Make me empathize with your characters. Make me feel their pain. Rip my heart out and smash it to a bloody, depressed pulp.

There was one that literally made me roll on the floor laughing.

XD well, I really only put that because I'm really lazy and put off judging until the last possible day. I don't want to have to read 439602735084 stories that are ridiculously long.
I'm sure one won't hurt!

Sweet, buttery Jesus!
I kinda feel sorry since you'll get a horde of entries x:
I promised to enter, didn't I?
Mind giving a little hint at what makes you break, mishter? -
-
XD I don't really know. I guess I started this contest to see if a story actually could make me sad.
All I can say is if I like the character, I'm much more likely to feel their pain.

Haha don't you hate it when that happens? I had a contest like that once and it happened. Most of the stories were about melodramatic high schoolers running around hospitals and yelling at people or at home cutting themselves with razor blades for frivolous reasons and you can tell the author has never been through anything of any importance in their life.
Haha didn't mean to rant. I need a laugh. Point me in the right direction? -
-
OH GOD THANK YOU!
I couldn't agree anymore than I already do!
They're all pretty hilarious, the things I laugh the most over, however, are the grammatical errors.

GAH.
