Love seems to be so cliche these days and I want something totally different then the ordinary boy meets girl story. All you have to do is write an odd or totally original romance that will hook me and reel me into the shore.
good luck and have fun,
cheyenne
Rules:
1) If you want some kind of promt to get an idea just message me.
2) no more then 10,000 words I have a kinda short attention span and more then that looses my interest.

3) only use vulgar language when it is absolutely nessacary.
4) no stickycaps or text talk.
5) be original
6) put the word 'grapevine' in your author's notes so I know you read the rules!
6.5)tell your friends about this contest because I love to read originals in the romance industry and I haven't found very many.
7) HAVE FUN!!!!

If you're going to say something like this:
I dont want to limit the stories but if you want to enter message me first and give me a discription so I can see if it's even worth my time.
Then you should, at all costs, avoid bad grammar and misspelling. -
GRAPEVINE!!
I submitted the first FULL chapter of me and my bf's current project. Part one and two of Chapter one. I hope this is ok since I entered them seperately. Also, I'm adding the "grapevine" thing here, because there was an error when I tried adding it to my A/N. Thanks!
~Linds -
Woooow, you've got a lot of entries here. Good luck judging them all.
