Make it Feel Real! (Points Will Go Up)

You know, I have gotten so sick of having horrifyingly bad grammar in all of my past contests that I am finally going to REALLY put my foot down. NO MORE BAD GRAMMAR IN MY CONTESTS. I am not going to repeat myself any longer. I will give all entries with improper grammar 24 hours to correct their flaws or I am deleting them from my contest. I have had it with being the little grammar Nazi. Well, now that that's over, let's move on to the other rules, shall we?

Rules:

1. Your story must have some sense of reality to it. That is the point of the contest, after all. So write whatever you want, as long as I can look at it and see it as believable. Brownie points for any fantasies that are nice and convincing.

2. No erotica. I am getting sick of reading through my contests and being confronted with nothing but shameless, pointless sex. You can have dirty romance, but that's as far as it goes. As long as there is never actually any real sex, I don't mind.

3. Fanfiction and roleplay are allowed... as long as it is not anything to do with Twilight, Miley Cyrus, or any other Disney Channel potheads. I do not intend to dish out points just so I can listen to people ramble on about their mindless obsessions with the "next big thing."

4. USE PROPER GRAMMAR!!! I know I have already said this, but I want to make this PERFECTLY clear before I am stuck reading some garbage that sounds like it was written by an incompetent third grader who has forgotten to take their medication.

5. If you fail to follow any of these rules, I will give you a fair warning before deleting your entry. I am tired of having to scream myself dry at brain-dead cephalopods who can't tell the difference between a comma and a hyphen. I will ask that these blatant wastes of DNA please refrain from entering my contests before I have a nervous breakdown and snap my laptop in two.


Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi!

    On my entry, 'The First Of The Last', I accidentally sent the first scene by itself. Pleased disregard that and go for the whole story. Thanks.

    Real!

    Finally, a contest that doesn't involve vampires. Hope you enjoy my style of writing, the piece is a bit long, but try to read the first 500 words and not the last I dare you.

    P.s. Grammar Nazis are good. They seperate those who write for fun, and those who write because they couldn't imagine doing something else.
