No Dullness Beyond this Point - Creativity Wanted!!!

Well, well, well. Now you're here. You've a couple options, not gonna do too many because we all hate scrolling all the way down, and no one wants to read a storybook.

I'll do rules first because it sucks to look at all the great options, then find out you can't enter because of some suckish rule.

Things I will allow:

-limited text/chat speak
-limited cursing/swearing
-limited emoticons

The rules we all love:

-No prose
-No dullness
-No dark
-No erotica
-No essays- 70 line maximum, no minimum
-No bashing religion, race, gender, etc.
-Avoid humor
-Must put your username spaced out in AN's
-Reserves are allowed, but must complete in 24 hours
-If a rule is broken, I will remove if not fixed within 24 hours

Okay now... the stuff I like. The stuff that says (LOVE IT) at the end means I love it.

-Love/Teen issues
-Make me check the dictionary a few times
-I want to hear tone when I read (LOVE IT)
-Make me FEEL (cry, laugh, whatever)
-Second person perspective (LOVE IT)
-Love letters (LOVE IT)

Now the options.

1: Write a poem based on or in reply to one of my poems. I suggest all of you try this one, I will most likely give gold to the guy who tries this one. No guarantees.

2: The word bank we love (but not as much as the rules). You must use at least 5 of these words, as many as you like, and include the words you used in your ANs.

-ivory
-ebony
-tangled
-streaming
-blazing
-wilted roses
-petals
-drifting
-daydream
-sigh
-heave
-acquaintance
-luscious
-softly/silently
-deadly
-glazed/frosted
-powder
-legend/myth
-whispers

Option 3: PREWRITES!!! That sure caught your attention. But I can picture you groaning already. Prewrites are only allowed if it passes the following limitations.

1. Mustn't be labeled Abuse, Erotica, Sensual or anything of that such. I'm only 11.

2. Love or Nature, slightly dark is fine.

3. USE GOOD VOCAB!!! Wait, scratch that- DAZZLING VOCAB!!!

4. Suitable background please.

Option 4: Write me a love letter. Guys only- don't take this seriously, I just love to hear them, and they only seem to make me feel and wonder when they're from the opposite gender. (This option also has a high chance at gold. Any guys brave enough to give it a shot?)

Option 5: Make me a background- I really want one.

My username: Tinselpool
My name: Claire Tao
Theme I would like: I like furry animals- the big cat family, wolves, all sorts of rodents, anything goes really.

Option 6: Quotes. This is the only time I'm allowing dark or humor. Include the quote in your ANs.

"Hell is like a dream come true compared to my life, and the devil like a princess when compared to me."

"Every time he ruins my day, I start laughing."

"I wanted to give you a birthday present, but the coal tore through the wrapping paper. I wonder how Santa does it."

"I'll stand by you through rain, hail, and snow, but I think you can survive on your own in the sun."

"Give me wings, it's my turn to see the world."

"It was love at second sight."

"UGH!!! What's that curse word everyone says on Valentines Day?"

"The Easter Bunny gives you egg shaped chocolate because it's easter, but I give you heart shaped chocolate because I ran out of the egg shaped ones."

"Love is a car crash, but I drive carefully."

Option 7: Picture prompts. I'll give you the links. Put the link in your ANs if you use it.

      You can enter a dark write if it suits one of the prompts

      But no erotica, and nothing too deep.

          Oh I wasn't aiming for that emoticon, I just wanted it bold. I like writing things all bunched up together like "gettowork" it seems as if I'm saying it faster.

          I don't mind if you enter a dark write actually, just try not to make it too blood and gory. I'll change that.

          Thanks,

          Claire
