 |
|
Do you think you have what it takes to write the best romance short story? Well, here's a contest to prove it!
Here is what I'm looking for:
~obviously, a beggining, middle and end
~awesome detail
~great show of character personalities
Rules:
~You can write alone, or you can write with a partner, trio, foursome, etc.
~nothing too inappropriate, please; keep it at least PG-13. you can write anything you want; make-out scenes, lovey-dovey stuff, anything--just please, no sex scenes!
Here's what you've all been waiting for....Prizes!!
1st place: 300 points, 5 critiques for anything you write and 10 cookies
2nd place: 200 points, 2 critiques for anything you write and 5 cookies
3rd place: 100 points, 1 critique for anything you write and 1 cookie
Your story can be as long as you see fit!
Once your story is ready for the contest, post a link for it on here. If you don't know how, well, you should probably ask someone. Preferably not me, because I don't know how! 
This contest will run from September 13 to October 13. Late entries will be accepted if you PM me before hand, letting me know if you will need some extra time. |

| Can it be more flash fiction than an actual short story, because the thing I'd like to enter is pretty short... |

| I have had an idea for a short story like this for a while. If I have time to get it done I'll post it okay. If not, sorry. I'll do my best though. |

You're able to get an extension on the deadline. All you need to do is ask! |
