This is the second contest I have hosted of this type.
I hope I've picked some inspiring prompts, that will
satisfy the muses.
Pick a prompt that inspires you(listed below'Guidelines')
Copy/paste your prompt in your author's notes.
Write what comes to mind.
Guidelines:
Normal AP rules apply.
Spelling, punctuation, grammar is a must.
Don't molest your shift key.
Play nice with the others.(Rudeness is a No-No.)
Constructive critique IS welcome.
Free verse and forms of your choice are BOTH welcome.
Keep cursing minimal.
Keep it tasteful.
Mildly erotic is welcome, but label Adult writes as such.
If you absolutely must reserve, FINISH before contest deadline,
or it will not be considered for finalist material.
Without further ado, here are the prompts:
You MUST place your choice of one of them in your AN!

intent was blatant-
shaded not your identity,
but my right to know.

my heart in rendered
still image?"

of a future without
your standards."

You are allowed up to three entries, but if you enter more
than once, please make them different prompts.
Points will be raised based on the quality and caliber of the entries received, and the more entries received, the better!
No Hm's this time folks. Like a friend of mine says, they make
great tack. I have to agree.
Now, write, play, have fun!
Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on July 19
- Rewards: Gold: 700, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 1 people
- Final notes: Thank you all for entering these awesome pieces, and making this extremely difficult to judge. Each piece entered, offered me something new, something different, as I had to read them many times, before deciding.
Okay, I confess, I said no HM's, but I added one, simply because I could not award two bronzes, but I felt they were both worthy of recognition. A true toss up in my humble opinion. Every entry was worthy of reads. I felt all the winners were exceptional. I would highly recommend anyone read every entry, especially the winning entries, as they blew my lid. ~Hettie.

The word "intent" has always flooded my senses...
So many possibilities both positive and negative and
all of them magnified by intent. You provided amazing
prompts, but when I read this one, I knew I would write.
Your gift of gold while very appreciated stands behind your
gift of inspiration. Thank-you so much for helping me to spill
ink again. Blue
