If you feel like any of the options will upset you too much, don't choose that option.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 18
- Rewards: Gold: 400, Silver: 150, Bronze: 50, Honorable mention: 5 people
- Final notes: Ahh I hear you say, she finally judged this.
I sincerely apologise for how long it's taken me, but I didn't expect any where near 80 entries for this.
Majority of entries were great, 17 made the finalists in the end. Sorry if I removed you last minute from the finalists, don't take it personally.
I appreciate everyone who opened their souls to me, I do hope it's relieved some of your pain.
Congrats to winners.
For some reason, AP only allows me to reward 5 people honorable mentions. So for those who didn't place 1st-3rd and those who don't receive HMs, I will send you points as a reward. Thank you all for your time and emotions, peace guys. xx

Lol keep an eye out because I will most likely add the option for prewrites but later on. Thanks for checking this out and hope to read some of your work!
-
-
Question: I'm 19, am I a teen or an adult? It always depends on who I ask
-
-
Well in reference to the pregnancies, you're a teen. Everything else, choose which you'd like, I'm not too fussed.
And good question lol, I'm 18 and people keep calling me an adult... haha.

Pre writes now allowed, fresh writes preferred.
-
-
I'm really hoping you add prewrites later on, I got alot I could use for this
-
-
There's a good chance I will, keep an eye out!
-
-
Definately will do. Until then, I may make something new to tide me over. Btw, would drug abuse in the context of depression be considered self-mutilation? If thats the case, I'll have even more material.
-
-
Added option for alcohol/drug use. Separated in Teens and Adults. I was actually thinking about doing so anyway lol. Hope to read some of your work!
-
-
Thanks I'll get to writing some stuff.

what about eating-disorders? would that be considered self-mutilation, or something else?
(for the sake of age-categories, i am 22).
-
-
Adult self mutilation. If I add a category for eating disorders, I will still allow yours if you enter to be under self mutilation.

Ok, thanks

Thank you for adding prewrites to your contest. Takes so much out of a person to write these that it literally makes me sick . I could not do one right now with everything that is going on about me.
-
-
No problem, I will of course consider fresh writes over prewritten ones however if a prewrite is good enough, it will go into the running.
I understand a lot of these can be hard things to write about and that's one of the reasons I allowed prewrites in the end, along with the dozen requests to do so.
No worries for you not being able to write a fresh one. For me, it helps when I'm so messed up to WRITE (not so much read though, good luck to me for judging right now!) but I understand it's different for different people.
-
-
oh eck.
thats alot of entries right there.
i have borderline personality disorder... and well.... i think i could've written something awesome, but my muse is.. broken right now
i hope ya get some awesome entries tho, and good luck to all those who have entered something great! -
Thank you for the HM I am glad you appreciated this entry. Congrats to all the winners!
