For Fun

i'm sick of all the boring contests, and the quickies. i do contests when i'm bored, so here's one that you're gonna have to do a bit of work for ^_^

take one of the following people, and search for them (preferably on google, but its your choice). write a poem or prose based on their life, including as many facts as possible.

message me (anonymous shadow) with the name of the person you want, so i don't have repeats. i want, in your author notes, your screen name and the name of the person you've chosen. i also want the link to the site you got your information from. ok? good.

i'm not easily creeped out, so give me anything (erotica, adult...you name it, i've written it). swear if you like, quote from the person, i don't care.

if you're female, you can do male, and vice versa. it doesn't matter to me. just don't be mean about the person. do your research before you write ^_^

also, tell us how you feel about who you have chosen; this is not just a histoy lesson, its something that you should feel. and spell check is your friend. get married to spell check, because it will be a loving relationship.

i'm keeping this open until all the people have been taken. please reserve a place in the contest, and edit at your own leisure. i will message everyone the day before i judge, so you can make final edits, sort out author notes etc., but be prepared to have this happen at any time.

nb: i'm in the gmt time zone; if you live in a time zone that means you're five or six hours behind, please don't moan, complain and/or send me hatemail if you didn't have enough time to sort out your piece. you should never leave things to the last minute.

those in brackets have been taken by the person next to it. no complaining if you missed out.

females:
1. (dita von teese) Murder Inc
2. (amy lee) Ktulu Blackwolfe
3. (sue grafton) Cithigora
4. (laurrel k hamilton) kodoku1617
5. (ginger rogers) Riftkin
6. (lizzy borden) GTseng3
7. (marilyn monroe) ScarletO, LadyOfAvalon (there was a mix up, both can have a place)
8. kate ford
9. queen victoria of england

    You have both Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, they were a great team, would combinding them both be okay?
