Options that really aren't that limited...

My last contest was a failure and I had to close it and remove the grand total of two entrants. So now I will have a good ole options contest.

Options:
1. Picture prompt
2. Quote prompt
3. Scenario prompt
4. Question prompt
5. Parody
6. Tennessee Williams related
7. AIDS
8. Holocaust/WWII
9. Same-sex love (or relationships if no love is involved. )
10. Any other category (message me about it.)

I'm going to say this again later but please pay attention:
If you want a prompt, please either MESSAGE me or add a BLANK story and put your request in the author's notes... That keeps this whole page from getting too long and lets me keep track of everything.

6-9 will get you major brownie points.

Don't get too excited, there are rules.

Rules:
1. Spell and grammar check.
2. Make your background, font, and font color easy to read. If I can't read it, I will kindly let you know, wait a little while, let you change it and then re-read it. My eyes are terrible and I don't want to strain them.
3. No fan fictions unless you message me and ask permission first. Special cases are allowed.
4. New pieces get brownie points.
5. In your author's notes, put your option. If you pick the first four, I will comment with your prompt. It will be reviewed within a time period of ten minutes to seven hours (depending on which class I'm in during the week.. Some rooms have better internet connection than others.)
6. One last thing: NO VAMPIRES OR WEREWOLVES!!! Unless you message me and I think they sound better than what I've been reading lately.

Please read and abide by the rules. I ALWAYS comment on entries and I always critique, sometimes harshly so don't get your feelings hurt if I point out a lot of problems I have with a piece. I only point them out so you can take what I'm saying into consideration for revision. You don't have to go through with it, it's just my opinion.

Pen for me pieces of work that are worthy of sitting next to Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Glass Menagerie.

Thanks,
A. Atticus

And points will go up.
