What a widely known topic this is, yet how it is misunderstood. We make many assumptions on the case of abuse. Purely physical, not emotional..But there is many types of abuse.
All I want you to do is to write from experience, or how you feel about abuse, or a story of yours created. Just say in authors comments any info you'd like to give and if it happened to you.
Sexual
Physical
Emotional
Psychological
Financial
All types of abuse. Write anything and everything. No more than 3 entries each. Prewrites allowed. Just let your mind wonder no rules except no sticky caps. Good luck!!!
VERY POPULAR TOPIC AS MASTER SAID, SO YES WRITE YOUR HEARTS OUT. I HAVE NOW DECIDED TO DO A SECOND CONTEST THAT TWENTY OF THE PIECES (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT) WILL GO INTO. WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED. THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. APPRECIATE FRESH WRITES BUT KNOW ALSO THAT WITH THIS TOPIC BRINGING UP THE PAST IS DIFFICULT AND SOMETIMES ITS BETTER TO LET A PREWRITE TELL A STORY. YOUR CHOICE BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ENTERING... ALL KEEP ON THE SUBMITTIONS!!!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 25, 2006
- Rewards: Gold: 300, Silver: 100, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 3 people
- Final notes: For a start i'd like to say THIS WAS SO HARD TO JUDGE! I was given 73 brilliant pieces and this is a hard number to judge, trust me!! I thought it was too hard to only allow the top three, so I have three honourable mentions as well.
This doesn't mean your piece wasn't brilliant. I personally think you all wrote beautiful pieces and if you could all be winners i'd make sure of it, most definately.
Thanks for taking part and any comments or ideas for future contests please let me know. I am going to be doing a Weird Al/Comedy parody contest next *starting now* so if you want to join that please check out my authors page and enter your heart out kiddos!!
Thanks for entering all of you, you're all winners. Thank you and hope you enjoyed the contest!

i entered 3 poems, 2 of them are two parts of one story, and the other one is about a diffrent person. The poem 'a girl called toy' is not based on a life experiance, but 'dark days black nights and it's sequal are something that happened to a girl I know. I wrote it how she told it to me.
