It's going to be simple, all I want is what you consider your best, pre-writes are preferable as there's no strict theme to this contest.
Just remember two things:
-No StIcKy CaPs or 'u' or 'r' or '2', etc.
-Check spelling, (Grammar is nice).
Otherwise, have fun.
Edit: due to the sheer magnitude of entries I've received within only hours of starting the contest, I'm putting a cap on it as I'm going to be starting classes soon and I want to ensure I'll be able to have time to read and judge all entries fairly. Thanks for all the entries.
Again: Hey, sorry about the length of time it's taking for me to judge entries, I've been more busy with school than even I had anticipated. I'm trying my best to get through, but I've only been able to comment on two or so at a time. I'm trying to get them done, I apologize for the delay, just please.. a bit more time.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 20, 2007
- Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 250, Bronze: 150, Honorable mention: 4 people
- Final notes: Normally, I judge my contests within days of closing, but I made an error in judgment regarding the amount of time I would be able to spend on AP as my classes resumed, thus resulting in my being unable to process the results quickly. Again, my most sincere apologies, but thank you everyone, for entering and allowing me the special privilege of reading some of this site’s best. I wish I could give you all a trophy and points, but alas, I cannot.

Be careful hun, the site is not big on asking you to comment on people's work... as a rule.... maybe you could reword it a tad, before they see it

I've always said that in my contests before.. I never require it mandatory, such as I'd disqualify someone for not reading other's works, I just think it's nice to read at least one other person's entry. But I took that out just to be safe. Thanks.

Cool just been caught before... didn't want you to go down the same road... goodluck with your contest

I love the background! The image reminds me of that thing in the music video of, "One Man Wrecking Machine" by Guster.
I'm going to submit something for this contest.

I think we are still waiting for the contest to be judged, there's a lot of entries that haven't been read yet by the judge. Very frustrating having to wait so long though.

I'm sorry it's taking so long, it's as equally frustrating to myself as to you, I'm sure. I'm trying very hard to find the time to get on here, but I've been extremely busy with classes. I'm working on it, if you'll just wait a little longer.

i think that the judge must have some personal commitments or she has forgotten about it because none of the entrys have been read!!! hope nothing bad has happened!!!
-
-
I'm really lacking on time, especially to get on to the computer, and because I try to give a bit more of an indepth comment then, "Nice write, thanks for entering!" it takes longer. However, I'm going to shelve that and just go straight ahead and read as many as possible. Sorry.

Congrats to the winners and the finalists! Nice contest...you really had your work cut out for you!
Much love!
