I know that there's a lot of writers here on AG and I wanted to make an original, but not too time consuming contest to help these people shine.
I will choose a theme and anyone can enter. The format will be
2 Paragraphs- as long as you want
They have to relate to the theme.
They can be like the middle of a story, or the beginning. Think of it as a short story, except shorter. Maybe you could think of it as an excerpt from another story.
I will find a moderator to give out a merit, but I will judge. The most interesting, expressive, or original (or maybe even funny) entry will win!

The first theme is:

[/b]Learning to drive!

I was driving the car for the first time. Then, all of a sudden, my mom turned into a barbie doll and killed with laser evaporating eyes.

Okay, results!

1st place (and a merit) goes to...
Cenere
for his entry "tomorrow".

I really like the way tomorrow has it's own meaning. Tomorrow is eternal procrastination, which is great. I know this was only 5 minutes, but those were 5 good minutes. Your other entry had some comprehension issues.

2nd place goes to: adrecka33 for her entry
This was great too. Though there were spelling mistakes, I got an image of what was going on. That's what I know adrecka33 is good at. Great imagery.

3rd place goes to thoadthetoad for his entry

Sorry for the cut judging.
I will finish later...
Cenere, I will tell you when to get your merit.

Well, the second one was more forced than written from inspiratin, really. But thank you very much.
Congratulations to Adrecka and Thoad.

There'll be a new round soon, then?
I really tried writing an entry for this one, but just couldn't get it to sound right at all.

Congratulations Cenere, you deserved it.

I don't think too many people really like this contest, so I think I won't make another topic.


Taking to heart everything these people said are you still sticking with this statement mentorso123?

Okay, next time, I will judge more carefully...
Cenere, I have asked strop if he can give a reward, but he hasn't replied, and it's been a few days...

So, without further ado...

The next topic is
Being sick (because that's what I might be)
The deadline is Wednsday, the 19th of November

Go to it...

Oh, I am sorry mentorso, I must have missed that message.

I'll get right back to you on this, though. First though, I would like to see the competition become established and regular before I start giving out merits.

Good thing Cenere won, then. He seems to be less interested in getting the merit awards than most users.

Being sick... Hmm, possible definitions of sick...
