This contest will start April 10th.
This contest will be about emotions. Choose one emotion: anger, sadness, jealousy, envy, joy, love, happiness, terror, desire, disgust, courage, etc. Any emotion you can think of. However, there are a few rules. 1, it has to be a short story of course, something you've freshly written, not adapted for this contest. 2, no one can have the same emotion. So post the emotion you choose, and no one can use it too! Also, no one can have to things that mean the same thing. Happiness and joy are pretty much the same thing. If people were allowed to do that, for example, we wouldn't have an arrangement of many interesting emotions. Good luck, the rest is up to you! The contest ends May 18th. I believe that is a sunday? at 11:59 pm.

Sorry i've been so persistant. I just saw the last two contests and they just looked like so much fun!


message 3: by Trish (new)

Trish Since the last one was an interpretation of a song, maybe this one could be an interpretation of a poem?

hmm.. an interpretation of a poem.. maybe, but i don't think that would be as fun as a song
maybe we could write a follow-up chapter to a book we read. like the book ended without saying what happened, or didn't say enough. so you write another ending! if u like that idea we could all choose a different book, or it would have to be an ending to the same book for judging purposes.


message 7: by Sarah, The Flying Monkey (new)

Sarah | 279 comments Mod
oooooo i like that :) could we rewrite an ending to a book? because theres a few books where i hated the ending


message 8: by Kaitie♥ (new)

Kaitie♥ (HoodiesGirl) | 82 comments Oh ya coolio!hmmmmmm.........
A poem's okay....I personally don't like poems that much! Sorry :)

how about we all write a story based off the same emotion like jealousy, or sadness, or envy, or betrayol, or happiness, etc.
