A story to blow minds

So, here's the deal. I'm yet again finding myself annoyed with having to search for a good story around this site. There are so many stories that never show up in my searching because they're all towards the back. I want to read those stories!!!

So here's the deal. This contest is basically for stories that have an awesome plot, rich descriptions and all that stuff that grabs a reader and drags them in. Can you do that for me? Please?

If so, here are some of the guidelines I have... please take them into consideration.

1. STicKy CaPS and spelling mistakes are to be at a minimum

2. No gay bashing, racism, religion bashing, etc

3. Cursing and erotica are fine by me

4. Prewrites are fine as long as they have not been in a million contests or I've commented on them before

5. I prefer 1000 word minimum, but whatever floats your boat!

That's it, HAVE FUN!

    I can understand why some people don't want a story that's been in a lot of contests, but if you're looking for the older better stories I think you're excluding a lot of them with that. No matter, I will enter anyway, but it won't be the one that everyone says drags them in because it's been in too many contests. Personally I enter my stories in contests to do just what you're asking, give a person something good they haven't read yet. I don't care for the trophies (though it's nice to win ), I just want to entertain.
