You can't judge a book by it's cover, but you can judge how good the books going to be on how it starts. Is it going to unpredicatable, slow-pace, fast-pace, action, romance, etc. You don't know until you read it, right?
I want people of all categories and I mean, ALL categories to enter their prologue and chapter ones. If you don't have a prologue its ok to enter your chapter one. If I think your chapter one is good but I can't decide if its what I'm looking for for the winner, I might send you a message asking you to enter your chapter two.
The winner will not only get 100 points but the winner will be posted on my profile and I will try to draw more people to your site. Hopefully you get more reads and more comments. (We all like comments, don't we all.)
Rules: There are no rules...well maybe one
I'm pretty lack on rules. I don't like rules myself. I like to live as a rebel.
Profainty IS allowed
ALL categories Are allowed (yes even you eroticas...i don't really care for those but if they think you have a good beginning go ahead)
I do like chapters a little short but it can be long.
I do ask that there is no Twilight anything. Sorry I like Twilight but I know it isn't your idea. I want your own storyline, your own characters, and stuff like that.

This SOOOO sums up how I've been feeling...I get people stumbling across the other chapters but rather than go bac and read they just give up and I'm sick of it. I sent you the prologue and ch1 of Shade since my prologue is a little short (in my opinion)
