Options Based Contest(Prewrites allowed)

Okay, you can write and/or submit a story based on the five options. They are really easy, you only have to worry about the rules.

1: Unrequited Love
2: Someone with an alchoholic/chain smoker/drug abuser in their family
3: Someone with a strange addiction, one that influences their life
4: Someone who wants to commit a high-school shootout
5: Love gone Crazy

Brownie points for

1: No action/adventure
2: No sugary romance
3: Horror or Humor, or both
4: Stories that make me want to be a character in them
5: Angst. Not your normal teenage oh-my-god-he-doesn't-love-me angst, but real angst, something so intense it makes me sympathetic too.
6: No extra selflessness. Nothing like, "X was sweet, kind, responsible, intelligent, etc, etc." Make them human

Rules

1: Make sure I have never commented on it
2: Avoid abusing and erotica. There's nothing I haven't read, but I'm more interested in a plot than sex
3: No rape or abuse. I want feelings , not abuse

Type IR2 in your AN(Author Notes) or simply submit a comment saying IR2. Points will go up in a week or so, if you're lucky.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on December 12, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25, Honorable mention: 2 people
  • Final notes:
    Thank you all for entering. I wouldn't like to take any names, but all your stories were very gripping, and I enjoyed them immensely. I think I was lenient enough with the grammar and spelling, so I hope this wasn't an important factor when I judged this contest. Please check out each other's stories when you have the time. I would have awarded all of you but that spoils the fun of having/entering a contest. XD I'm sorry I didn't comment on all of them, I'm too lazy. XD

    Thank you again!

    Wait...does it have to be an alcoholic, chain-smoking drug abuser, or are we picking one of the three?

    Can the unrequited love be a voluntary unrequited love? As in the person that isn't loving back intentionally not loving back for one reason or another?

    ...and are multiple entries allowed?

      No, I want a real feeling of "I can't love her that much no matter how much I try" Still, I had no problem with any of the unrequited love stories.(if you entered)
