Alright everyone, I hope you are ready for this. I am going to try something different. I am going to narrow down the options for this contest. Since there is more then one option you can submit one stories into two seperate options. So choose wisely which one/ones you are going to do.
Now onto the Options!
Option 1: Love/Romance- Give me a story that really portrays love at its best. And I'm not talking about highschool love, I want something more adult, something that truly hits home and makes me feel all warm inside. [Erotica is welcome, but please make sure there is more to it.]
Option 2: Give me an adventure that will keep me on the edge of my seat! Preferably not set in a city, I like adventure stories that rough it out in the wild but if you think you can pull it off then go for it!
Option 3: Give me a truly heartbreaking story. I want to feel the emotion and if you think it will make me cry your on the right track!
Option 4: Write me a story of what you think would happen if society collapsed. I don't care how it happens (meteors, World War 3, natural disaster, etc.) And it has to be about a year or two after the collapse. Are their gangs, is there food left? If so how much? etc.
Option 5: Write me a really good paranormal story! Let's keep it within the range of psychics though. Give me a character that is cursed and misunderstood because they possess these gifts.
Option 6: Write me story from the POV of either a child that is lost, or of the parent that is frantically looking for their child. I want to truly feel the emotions of despair and fear, etc.
Option 7: If you think you have a story idea that doesn't quite fit, then please, don't hesitate to message me. I will tell you how I feel about it, but most likely I will let you submit it.
Okay, now that you have the options, please don't forget to read the rules. If anyone breaks any of these rules I will have to DQ you, so please read them carefully.
Also, when you submit your story, please make sure to put which option you chose in your author's notes. Thanks!
Rules
1. Please check over your grammar and spelling before you submit. It's just easier to read that way.
2. Please no StIcKy caps. It's too distracting and at face value makes the story appear less intelligent.
3. I won't put a word limit, but please don't make it too long, unless yuo can keep me hooked.
4. Please no science fiction, fantasy, or gay/lesbian stories. Thank you!
Good Luck!

I sure hope mine (Kaleidoscope Eyes) fits, it's set about eight years after WW3. If it doesn't DQ away, I'll understand.
