Well, I've been feeling pretty low at the moment and I just want to die. I went to the hospital Wednesday night because I finally lost it and my parents had no other way to turn. So yeah, my dad called the cops and the ambulance. And now, I just was told my mother has given up on trying to understand me and yeah. My life has just gone down hill and the only people who are holding me together are my boyfriend (demonicspawn666), my friend Mandi (takemeaway25), and my friend Alexa (who isn't on here).
What I would like:
1. Write a story about something you have gone through. Has a parent given up on you like my mother? Is there anyone just holding together the torn parts like my friends? Have you gone to the hospital because you lost it or because you cut too deep, like I did Wednesday? Show me in a story. You can use your own name or use different names, it's up to you. Use description AND quotation (people talking). Make me feel you distress, your anger, fear, and hatred.
2. Write any old dark story your mind can come up with. Show emotion (i.e. anger, hatred, fear, loathsome) Blood is allowed in this category, but please don't over do it. An example is "Her only Wish Granted" and stuff like that. If you don't know how much guts, blood, and gore I'm looking for, just IM me... otherwise, go on ahead with your idea. I'm only allowing fresh writes, but if you think you have a good enough story for this, tell me and I'll open it for you if I like it and say it's good enough. Otherwise if I find a pre-write I didn't approve of, I'll DQ you.
3. For this one, I would like you to IM me and I'll give you a title AND a line I would like to see in the story. for this one, almost anything is possible.
4. In this category, I will give you a few choice words (and a few sentences) for you to put in your story. I would like to see all of them (if they pertain to your story) and find a way to highlight them into your story. either use * on each of the word, or however you want to show it. I will be looking for them, but on occasion, I will miss one or two. So please highlight them. If you don't use all of them, please try to use at least 10. Thank you.

NOW, don't think of these as rules, but as a tool to help you win.
A. Please use spell check, it can get very annoying when you come across a word and it's misspelled. And I'm one of those people who don't try to find them, but actually see the tiniest mistake. I understand that if you're not the greatest speller in the world (no one is), but try to sound it out and then use spell check.
B. Please do not use internet slang or sticky caps (if you have no clue what they are, then ignore this tool). But for those who do know, it can also get annoying like the misspelled words. And sticky caps really bug my eyes.
C. Please tell me which category you did. I don't feel like guessing which category is yours.
D. And I know I said this before but, I'm only taking fresh writes and if I open the pre-write thing for someone, to let them put in a write that I have approved of, please don't put on in. Or else I will DQ you. I hope I have made myself clear about that.
Now have fun and start writing ^^

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 12, 2006
- Rewards: Gold: 300
- Final notes: Okay, there were some VERY amazing entries that I just HAD to applaud. I didn't comment on everyone's (I have been just a little busy) but I assure you, I did read all of them. I was mostly looking for stories, but I let the poems stay. A lot of them were very good. It was so agonizingly difficult to judge this and I belive one person pointed this out to be and I do have to agree with her. Now... I picked Cheap Therapy for gold because it was the truest thing I was looking for. It had emotion and vulnerability. It was a beautiful piece and I recommend reading it if you want. Now... The Man With A Broken Brain was another wonderful piece of work. As the first one, it had raw emotion. Cheap Therapy pretty much made me cry and although the second one didn't, Dena Tande did an amazingly great job on it. Now... for bronze, I came in an encounter with this one before and loved it. I still love it. By the fourth paragraph, I said to myself "I've read this one before" and sure as I go down, I see my comment from Nov. 29th. I fell in love with all of the entries, but there were a few I wish I could have given points to, so I applauded them. They were as follows:
Goodbye by GloryGirl
Inhumane Reign by CinderellaTears
All Alone by X PatientGrace X
And I believe: Girl No One by JesSiCa RabBiT.
Now, unfortunately, I ran out of applauds, so I am going to give 7 points to lovely nightmare's story Escape. It was as I've said a wonderful story and I'm sorry I couldn't have given it a trophy. In my book, all of the entries deserved a trophy. Thank you all for entering and Great job to the people who won a trophy.

It's great idea, but I am still a little MIFFED that after what you went through it sounds like there was no compassion? Are you serious? I am glad you have support. I am sorry I haven't been here much.
I like the idea more of coming up with something from my time when I was your age. I might be able too, but I did already have a song about that...but in this case it would be an angry poem. I wish you the best...all my love...
Goompa.

Blessed be,

I'm sorry, it's a poem and I'm only allowing stories. Maybe if you could come up with a short story based on your poem, I'm sure it would be great.

Well, I said if you thought you had one good enough for a category, I would look at it and see if it was worth letting be allowed. Think about it and if you come up with a story, let me know.
