Dark Options

First off, THIS IS FOR STORIES ONLY. I WILL DQ ANY POEMS. IF YOU DON'T PLAN ON READING THE RULES, CLICK THE BACK BUTTON NOW.

Here's a small warning, this is my first contest, therefor it may take me a while to judge, but please be patient. I will comment all of the entries.

Anyways, here are the options for it.

1. Dark Romance. Romance with a sad ending, or something along those lines. Doesn't matter, just make it dark and romantic.

2. Gore. Make something so gorey, it makes me want to puke. Just try not to string the idea too thin, please.

3. Write me something warped. I don't care in what way you make it warped, just be creative.

4. Make me sad. Doesn't have to be romance, can be anything at all. Just make me feel majorly depressed from it.

5. Scare me. Make me afraid out of my mind.

*And now, here are the rules we all love oh so much!*

1. Stories ONLY, I will DQ any poems

2. Put the option number in the author's comments. Not too diffucult now, is it?

3. No more than two entries per person.

4. Please try to use proper grammer and correct spelling. I won't hold it against you unless it's utterly horrible, because I'm not that great of a speller myself.

5. No WrItInG LiKe ThIs Or I WiLl MaKe SuRe YoUr FlEsH is DeVoUrEd By mY FeRrEt MiNnIoNs

6. Please try to have fun while you are at it, alrighty?

*Now that that is done, we can get to the good stuff.*

:: First place will be for 300 points::
::Second Place will be for 100 points::
::Third Place will be for 50 points::
::Honerable Mentions will vary and I may not even have them, so the prizes could change::

*Along with the prize points, the ending date could also change, depending on the amount of entries I have.*

Thank you to Rose Dark Thorn for your point donation!

If you have any questions, just send me an IM or leave a comment on here and I will happily answer them

Thanks to anyone who enters,
¢¾Nikki

UPDATE!!!
Until I get some more entries that I feel are REALLY worth the points, which I now have more of, I will push back the closing date. So yes, you have much longer than the 8th of this month to enter.

    if you are only excepting stories and not poems, perhaps you should have put this as a story contest instead of a regular contest cause all you are going to probably get are poems. just thought i'd let ya know!!!

    Might wanna close the prewrite option after so long, or you'll be swamped with stories. Believe me on that one; it happened to Lauren and it took her around three weeks or more to finish reading them all.

    Sorry, I despise the new storywrite. I refuse to use it, but I made the fact that it's for stories and not poems plain as day in the description and rules.

    yeah, I already am. I have people trying to add poetry though, and if they would have read the rules, they would realize this is for stories, not poetry. But that's alright. They can't help that they lack in common sense.

    This is a great idea, dear. ^ ^;; I don't think I'll be able to write anything for it, though.. because my Muse has OFFICALLY died for THE LONGEST time.. EVER. I have written ONE thing in the past month, and it was absolutely trash. Ugh'.

    Ah, well.. this isn't about me, it's about you. I hope you get lots of great entries, and a lot of dumb ones.. not 'cause you deserve dumb ones.. but because they almost always make you laugh.

    Not too interested in entering a contest, sorry.

    However, I DO have a story I'd like read and commented on, if you're interested.

    Can we enter a story if it's in the form of a poem...?

    Yes. That would be fine. Just so that it's a story. The contest will be open for plenty more time though, so go for it, if you'd like.

    My story is anime-based, but it doesn't really matter if you know the anime, as it's from "reader pov", and all is explained...

    I know that. I don't like storywrite. To enter, your story has to be posted as a poem. That simple. I'm no idiot.
