Twenty People. Invite Only.
300 points up for grabs for gold.

This is one in three invitation contests. Only you twenty are allowed to enter round one.

If you would like to enter Round Two, and you are not in this contest, sign below.

If you would like to enter Round Two, and you are in this contest, you must enter this contest. If your name is on the list, and you do not enter this contest, I will assume you do not want to be in any of the three contests.

Alright, so, Round One!

Your theme is reality.
I want a new story, based on a true story. Preferably in your own life, but I'll never be able to tell. Anything goes.

Rules? No pre-written stories. Label adult as "adult." And keep it at a readable length. Also, do not enter if you're not in the list. I don't want drama like that.

If you don't want to enter, don't enter, but keep in mind that the other two contests will offer more and more points. And you have three chances to win.

Good luck,
Kevan.

PS, MESSAGE ME IF YOU CHANGE YOUR NAME.
Thank you.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 12
  • Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 200, Bronze: 100
  • Final notes:
    What a great contest. I strongly recommend you read the stories of the four finalists. They're amazing.

    The reason I held this contest was to prove the point that everyone on this planet has a story, and has something to say. Everybody's different, and it's inspiring to have people open up to you, and tell you their worst memories, confiding in you something that they've never confided in anyone else.

    Great job everyone. Always remember that someone has it worse off than you, but always strive to make the world a better place for that person. Thank you all for entering.

    Kevan.

    So it must be BASED on something that's really happened?

    Why do we have to label it as "adult"?

      only if it's an adult story. so that people who aren't supposed to read it can't. (our underage users)

    Hmmm...with the points from these contests I could use them to create new contests and overtake you in the race for the most contests...
    Tempting...

    Any expectations for word length? (I know 'readable' but what is that? xD)

      I really don't like setting limits because I did once - it was a 4000 word max contest... and a person submitted what must have been their full novel - it took me four days to read - but it one. And I don't want to be a hypocrite again, so I'll say... if you think it's REALLY interesting, there's no word length. If you think it's so-so, make it less than a couple thousand.

        a couple of thousand? O.o
        -prays that his 11 month writer's block ends soon-
        lol At least it's based on RL. That makes it easier.

        And lol about that story, I'd never have read it :|

      Thinking about it now... that story must have been a couple hundred thousand words.

  • Hi Kevan!

    I appreciate the invite and I'll try to come up with something before this contest closes. I've got many draws on my time presently and I may not find the time for a new write.

    sign me up! please

  • When you say based on a true story, does that mean details are up to our imagination as long as the main idea stays the same?
    Or do you want a biographic sort of story? x]

      Smaller details can be changed, but I'd prefer most of the plot to be the same. Obviously one's memory can't remember every car that passes... every word that's said... etc.
