Depression, Suicide, and Help

5th Contest... woot!! woot!! Okay, not that that's done, For this contest, I'm going to have five categories. I'll take either poems or stories... but I'm more focused on stories at the moment.

(1) I want to feel pain. Make me cry (and that's not an easy job ) . Explain to me why you cut... who/what made you this way. Make me tear my heart out and give it to you.


(2) If someone told you they were going to commit suicide, how would you tell them that they were loved? How would you help them overcome that and escape the darkness that they were in. Either in poem form or story form.


(3) I WANT DEATH. Don't make it TOO gory... but enough to make you win the contest. Add tragedy, personal experiences, suicide, homicide... whatever you think fits this description.


(4) Okay, for this one, I would like you to use at least 4 of these words and every other word you use, you can get 2 points.
*Strawberry
*Gashes
*Death
*Disaster
*Cut
*Suicide
*Razor
*Knife
*Depression
*Blood
*Rose
*Hell
*Heart
*Pain
*Killing
*Hiding
*Fear
*Tears
*Bleeding


(5) Write a story about one of the following story lines/Characters:
~A child who is wise beyond her years due to her father's constant beatings.
~A girl who loses the chance to live because of depression.
~The star of a high school sport who has everything, loses in life.
~The most popular girl, who everyone thinks has the perfect life (ie perfect boyfriend, perfect parents, perfect grades, etc) is the most depressed and eventually kills herself.



~RULES~

(a) NoNe oF tHiS sHiT!! 1. it hurts my eyes and 2. why the hell would you want to do it? it takes FOREVER!
(b ) plz plz plz, try to go around erotica...if it's entirely needed, make it short and vague.
(c) Not mandatory, but it would be nice if you could comment on my works and others in the contest.
(d) profanity allowed... but only if it makes your piece better. If fuck or hell is every other word, most likely, you won't win.
(e) So I know you read these, please put in " Death is the only way out" in your author's comments along with the number you did (just so it's easier for me).
(f) You can enter three entries, but one of them HAS to be a new write. I want new writes please.
(g) HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!! ^_^

1st: 300 pts and a shiny golden trophy ^_^
2nd: 100 pts and a pretty silvery trophy ^^
3rd: 50 pts and a cute bronze trophy ^^

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on November 29, 2005
  • Rewards: Gold: 300
  • Final notes:
    Okay, I'll tell you this, I definitely read all of them, but I may not have commented on them all. They were all so beautifully written and creative. Unfortunately, I could only give three people trophies, and I decided to give three people honorable mentions. If I had enough points, everyone would get something.
    I think that:
    "Within the Moonlight" by xXQueenxOfxSpadesXx because it one, made me cry and was so beautiful. It reminded me of my own relationship and was so heartbreaking. WONDERFUL JOB!!
    I chose "crying blood, breathing lye" by qttijbaby because it showed a girl who aborted her baby... but it was really tragic. In the end, the girl killed herself on New Years... I say it was a definite read!! GOOD JOB!!
    "In This Room" by ellallure was intriguing. A lovely young woman killing herself in the room where she gave away her virginity, where she told secrets, wrote poems where she grew up. It was another tragic one and I was honored to have it in my contest. ^^ PERFECT JOB!!

    *A BIG CLAP FOR THE WINNERS!!!!!*

    Now, for the honorable mentions, it was very difficult. I wasnted EVERYONE! But I limited myself to only three. These three were harder because they too, showed incresing beauty and love. Each person will get an applause for their poems... and 10 pts. The first one, "Lake of Broken Dreams" by Demented Kitty
    The second "Withering Iris" by SuburnSheWolf and the third is to "My Love" by demonicspawn666

    Thank you to everyone who entered, I loved reading the poems, they gave me something to do and I got to read new poems/stories. Can't wait till my next contest, Silent Lullaby

    A good contest! Unfortunately, my archives have nothing that fits exactly into your choices, and I'm too distraught with things right now to write a new one. I hope you get really good entries in this.
