Anything goes. Vampires, werewolves, emos, angst, sugar, etc, etc. However, your story should follow this basic frame.
1: Atleast two protagonists and one antagonist. A beginning paragraph/sentence should introduce the setting for the story.
2: An scene/paragraph at the beginning that introduces atleast one protagonist or antagonist
3: After that introductory scene, there should be a scene/paragraph that explains the conflict of the story and how it was was caused.
4: After that it's your own free reign till scene 5-describe how the characters are affected by the conflict, how they tackle it, or how their actions are influenced by the conflict, etc, etc. Introduce the additional characters, if any. Basically add whatever scenes/paragraphs you want to.
5: The climax
6: (This is optional)An epilogue, or what happens after the climax. I am warning you, add epilogues only when they are needed. When it is understood what happened to the characters and why, don't waste my time.
You can end the story at the climax if you like.(With atleast one sentence to wrap up the whole thing of course).
Points will go up, depending on the what I earn commenting.
Please don't give me stories with very long paragraphs or very short ones. They should be medium sized.
Word limit-Minimum-800
Maximum-Unlimited. However, if there are more 10 entries with 10,000+ words, the maximum word limit will be 30,000.
Reserves are not allowed.
I always seem to have a difficulty with describing the background and the setting, so I'll be lenient with that. (I can't be strict anyways)
But do describe the characters' emotions.
My previous names were FaeriesLie, I-Hate-Everyone,Xm and HalfJudgemental, so you can verify whether I've commented on your story. If not, then you are welcome to enter. If yes, I'm sorry, I want fresh writes.
I will be lenient with grammar and spelling.
I hope that many people will enter so that I can read lots of stories!

I have a story that maybe could fit in the rules, it's only too short.
It's a prewrite and I don't like to change it. -

Enter it then.

The word count is way off, it's actually around 13,700. Hope it fits.

Hi Doombunny!
Thanks so very much for the gold trophy and points. I greatly appreciate them. I'm happy that you like my story.
Did you know that you can award silver and bronze trophies without assigning them points?
Thanks for hosting.
Andy
