Salty ones, I call ye to this useless contest.

Art thou exhausted from ye surroundings? People? Failed tests? Lagging computers? Cold Chinese takeout? Well, this place is the land of freedom. The land of stories where you would write about the thing, the person, the event that truly ticked you off to the maximum. I welcome sarcasm, strong, yet mild language, metaphors, and pettiness.

How to Win this Fantastic and Educational Contest:

1. You have to be super descriptive. Show, not tell. Search through your third grade English files.

2. I, the creator, will choose the story with the most upsetting story (and most hilariously/amazingly written story). I guess it's basically complaining about a certain thing (you choose), and you have to be so salty, I'll die of dehydration.

3. At least try to use correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc. It's okay if there are a few mistakes, but uh, reading it over won't shove poison down your throat and leave you in Antarctica to die.

4. Like I said before, I'll be searching for comedic, sarcastic, most whiny story ever. Well, maybe a bit less on whiny, but you get the point.

5. Minimum is 10 words (yes, ten. And I wrote MINIMUM, not MAXIMUM. Not trying to trick ya *winks and fails*). You cannot submit more than one entry.

6. Lastly, I don't mind passionate poems, flash/short paragraphs, etc. Doesn't matter, really. Just not nine words.

I'll add more onto the prompt if people ask questions. But I think it's pretty straight forward, right? And this is just for fun, so I'm not really expecting much. JK! I'm sure all of your writing are totes fetch. Sorry, probably used fetch wrong, but let it slide. Forgive me, Gretchen. ANYWAYS, gewd lock and POUR the gallons of salt ya'll have.

Hello stranger! This is a contest about comedy!! Yeah, you heard me! It's COMEDY TIME!! Alright, I'm calm now. I know I'm not the only one that kind of needs a break from all the serious novel writing, like the dark romance, or complicated mystery stories. So! The objectives are these:

1. Create your own character (be descriptive, but not too "Oh, Anne has blue hair.")

2. You can make that character the funny one, or the people around them comedic.

3. This is writing! Add in or make it revolve around anything you want: Fantasy, Fan-fiction, Romance, Mystery, etc.

4. There is no limitation to writing! Pour your hearts out! ^^

5. Please make this PG-13: I have no idea how people will make this inappropriate, but I'm still putting it out there (if your jokes are kinda in the R range, then just somehow hint them in there lol, because I actually find those funny ^^)

6. Add in some kind of media to "enhance" the reading experience (music or whatever.)

If you still have questions, just message me or comment below. Good Luck everyone!!

Hello everybody!!

Just an FYI, yes, I know this kind of contest has been mentioned before, but it's mainly in the category, "romance" or "adventure." This contest is mainly about music, hinted from the title ^^.

Just choose any song, and write a fictional story, with no word limit or issue limit. The characters should be fictional as well. Also, remember to put the name of the song before the story begins. It would be great if it was romance or adventure, mentioned above if you paid attention ><.

Also, if you think it'll be even better, just put "que music," then it'll mean that the readers should listen to the music while reading.

Important:- Name of song (I honestly do not care whether it's a cello sonata or a modern music)- Fictional characters, and optional fictinal setting- preferably romance or adventure- NO word or issue limit- try and hint in a small line from the song into the story

Song Ideas:- "Scars to Your Beautiful" - Alessia Cara (I'm listening to it while writing this lol)- "Come as You Are" - Nirvana- "Yesterday" - the Beatles- "i hate you, i love you" - ft. Olivia O' Brien and someone else I do not know of- "Ride" - Twenty One Pilots

Good luck everybody! And everybody has 4 weeks, so that's plenty of time to finish at least one issue!

Think of a story where a girl, or a boy, starts to leave the classroom exactly 23 minutes late, but finds a mysterious notebook on the desk beside him/her. He or she opens the empty notebook, blinks, and then ends up in a whole new dimension or world. Try your best to use very descriptive words... SHOW NOT TELL. Try to make it a fantasy story (pretty obvious by now), a pinch of romance, conflicts, the resolution, and a cliffhanger or a satisfying ending. The number of words are unlimited. Don't let a number stop your imagination! And you can try adding in some humor. The story doesn't have to be serious like a Bible (please don't get offended), so add lots of humor along the way!

Each person can write a maximum of 2 entries. Also, I will choose the winner, since it says "Creator's Pick," and maybe I'll be able to draw the winner's main character, or any character they want (if I have the time). Remember, I will choose the person with the most descriptive and captivating story line. Be confident in your work, try your very best, and I'll try to add in some helpful comments! If you have any questions, then please ask me any time ^^. There are 3 weeks to enter this contest, so please try your best!! Good Luck Everybody!

Write a poem about anything. It can be long or short or whatever. I can't wait to see what comes out of all these beautiful minds.. good luck.

Sometimes, the most important messages can be conveyed in only a few words. Sometimes, it's hard to find the words to use.Sometimes, you have too much to say.

This time, you only have fifteen words. Value them and write something meaningful (or something random and stupid is fine too. XP)

Example

Silence is more destructive than weapons. It tears you apart on the inside without mercy.

The only thing to fear is yourself... because you are the substance of nightmares.

How's that quote for a story?  Is it hard, intriguing, or just plain strange? However the quote inspires you, write a story, any genre, any length, but rated PG-13 or under. The story must be inspired by the quote in a way that is palpable. I will trust your judgement, though if I end up asking you how the quote fits, please don't feel insulted.

Four weeks from June 19, 2017, I'll pick the best, most innovative story, and anyone can give it a try. Three entries maximum per person. Are you ready? Now get going. Because you see the timer counting down by the seconds and you know you're always running out of time.

The goal is to come up with a 700 word essay about a character of your choice - though they must be of your own creation. The winner will be put into a story with genres of their choice.

Good luck.

Edit: If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me, as I have noticed there has been a lot of confusion with must's and leeway.

What is the human condition?  Thousands of ancient thinkers have given their best shot at this question, and now it's aimed towards you.Perhaps it's the condition of the heart, the mind, the soul, or the body--maybe all of it.  But what exactly is the human condition?

Word Limit: 1,000 words

Here's an example of something I wrote.  Very short, they don't all have to be as short as this... your word limit is 1,000 words, after all.

It's the human condition to hate

It's the human condition to want love

In the secrets of our hearts we hide

Hoping to one day be found

If we knew what we wanted

Than we would've found it by now

But we still

Don't know

What were looking for

This example is more poetic, but the entries don't have to be.  Communicate in any form of writing what you believe to be the human condition.

Write your hearts out!

If you could have any superpower, any at all, you can even make one up, what would it be? The prompt of this contest is to write a short story about you having a superpower (or superpowers) of youe choice and what you would do with it.  You can even make one up. The story must be appropriate for all ages.

Good luck, and be creative!~Bobcat:)

P.S If I chose the incorrect theme, tell me in comments.

This is a simple contest. Just tell us the reason(s) you write!

No word limit:)

I don't really know how this feature works but all I can say is that this contest is about writing a heartbreaking scene. 

(I, too, like reading something that can break my heart LOL)

Good luck!

For this contest, I want you to take the image below and create something with it. A story. A quote. A song. A poem. Any form of art you wish. Here is my example, it came to mind the first time I saw this picture:

As I jumped and skipped in the pouring rain, I knew people around me enjoying the sunny weather. All of them under their dimly lit umbrellas, seeing an imaged sunny day. You may not know but, the world has changed. It rains everyday without end. We’re lucky to see a sunny day. People started to complain, get lazy, and slow go into depression.  So, in response, scientists created an umbrella that creates an image the holder wishes to view. It was created for the greater good but also as an experiment. Everyone in the world received one of these ‘wondrous’ umbrellas. I did was well, and you would consider me an outlier in this experiment. I tried it and within the first second I threw it into the back of the closet. I didn’t need an umbrella to enjoy life. I could see it with my own eyes. Rain falls everyday, just like everyone’s hopes for a sunny day. I didn’t lose my hope, I never had to have hope. I had all I needed. A light, even if these clouds brought what everyone else saw as a darkness.

I never understood why, I still don’t. But, it doesn’t matter. Life can continue to pour down on me but I’ll never coward away. I’ll always stay out, taking anything and seeing it as a light. Even if no one else sees it.

That's just my example, I just want your response or thoughts to this picture in a form of art.

Go crazy! Have fun! Think Deep! IDK! Do what you do! :)

.

(If this goes well. I hope to do more Picture Responses later on :) Maybe I'll do Song Responses, *shrugs* idk :)  )
