Right. Once more I open this thread because interest has been shown in its favor. The same rules and prizes of the afore done contests apply to this one:
"Prizes: The satisfaction of winning, and the great honor of being co-mod for a month.

Rules: There is no genre restriction; write what you're good at.

For the sake of judging and time, please keep the entries limited to short-stories, or tales with few chapters. (This does not mean that your story can only be one or two pages. Be creative, but be mindful.)

And above all, be sporty about it and have a grand time!"

And in case you're wondering, yes, anybody can comment on any entry. The winner will be decided by a voting poll at the end of the contest.

Group members, start your entries.

Write what you are best at. You are not bound to a particular genre in these competitions.

If you want to, then yes. Just name what book the characters are from, please...

You can still enter if you are a co-mod. But no mod can vote on theirs or a fellow mod's story, to make it fair on the non-mods. ;) If a mod wins, the runner-up gets to be co-mod. That is decided by vote. But, in the meantime...

Any more entries? :D

Thankyou, Mary! I'll read it now.

It seems you jump a bit too quick from aspect to aspect. Why not put some hostility, some suspicion, in there? You know, make a bit of friction instead of them meeting and instant friendship... :)

Chris (rawr-reads) | 2 comments Okay well here is my entry... I wrote this a while back for my creative writing class in college and I just picked it back up because I was debating with myself about whether I should continue the story from here with his mother and the man or leave it as it is... Choices, choices...

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3... I added this one up there as well and I think its far better than the first. :) So I think I'd rather enter this one... If that's okay?

I really liked this story it was very tender. I especially liked the ending. (I will defer commenting why until a few others have read it since I don't want to be a spoiler! :)

Good descriptive wording. :D You have given it the correct feel for that kind of story. Maybe you'll score first place even though the competition is hard to beat and brimming with ideas!

Excellent, excellent! :'D simply luv it! ^_^
Your grammar is epic-good, the story is dark just like you said, and people are going insane. It's a marvelous piece of insanity writing.

Sounds very technical. I didn't understand any of it, sorry. But I'm sure older people did either way, it's a really good piece of work. ^_^

Thanks! I'm usually better with comedy and irony, but I thought I'd try a dab of some dark psychological writing.... Its always good to strech your wings, right? :D haha
