Hello, I'm the well renowned Thoadthetoad, who made the insanely popular story, "The Moderation Wars". Now then, I've seen a whole lot of writing contests but they are just terrible, no organazation or rules. Let me just tell you that this is NOT A PLACE to put crappy 5 minute 3 sentence stories that literally anyone could have written. Now then, here's the basic rules:

1. Must not be SMUT. A simple sexual reference or a wink wink nudge nudge is fine, hell, even something a woman in her 40's would read to feel secure is fine, but don't make the characters have ANY contact. This includes: Groping, fondling, HXC (hardcore), anal, buttocks grabbing or sucking. A kiss I can handle, maybe tounge, but don't make it descriptive to where younger users would be creeped out, OKAY?!

2. Story must be within 500 - 1000 words. Please keep it within that so I won't get tired reading, and so that it actually has some structure.

3. You HAVE to have a beginning, middle, and end in your story! No "to be continued" things. You may use the same characters and whatnot, but please do not leave things opened.

4. I would very much appreciate if you put how many words were in your entry. It braces me for it and I won't have to count it all that much. Again, I'd very much appreciate it if you were HONEST with it.

5. This is prose ONLY, no poetry, guys.

6. Must be relevant to the theme, which I will assign every... oh I say 2 weeks would be enough.

7. There can only be 7 entries at the most, because I think I'll die if I have to read any more than that. So if it reaches the cap before the deadline, I'll judge there.

8. No fanfictions of your favorite series unless noted that

So those are the rules, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I like questions after all.

This rounds theme will be....

Anime

Fanfics are ok, but is strongly unadvised. As I tend to detest fanfics... I hope you all have a good time writing, and I hope some more people come to here instead of the other places. Btw, every story has to have DIRECT link to the theme, even if it's roundabout, I don't care, so long as it's still a direct link from the story to it, no chains.

I also personally don't like themes, but they are all but necessary in such a contest.

If a contest doesn't have a theme, literally anyone could win, themes determine on what you should be focusing on.

It can be anything about anime, just that it has to be the central theme right?

Yep, so long as the point/plot is a direct link to the theme.

I found out a free word count, so just keep rule 4 as a "it would be helpful but it's not needed"

btw, KR, you have been using ... a lot lately. Something the matta?

oooh ok. I'm just stupid like that, sorry! I might put an entry in, but I'm too much of an anime fan and would go overboard, so I'll wait until the next topic.

Nah, not really. Just shows my train of thought. Just trails off wherever. Although I did almost break my neck playing tennis, get my braces tightened and burn myself with a soldering iron - plus some of my friends are fighting. I guess this week has just been a mess...

I will start my entry now I suppose.

Yeah, I'm alright though!

My entry, it deviated away from anime and reflected my current mood at the time of writing it (some social problems were occurring) and is going pretty emo at the moment...

I don't want to ruin what I am doing by forcing anime in - as it is getting me 'brownie points' with the girl I like...and it reflects how I feel quite well. If I am able to finish it of in about 100 words I will enter it into a Formal Comp. online where I can win a Wii...although I do already have one...!

*concludes I am too tired to writ4e*

She smiled sweetly, the sun framing her face the most beautiful way. She had her hair up in a pony tail, the long bown hair the exact same colour as her eyes.
The school uniform was spotless, and the white socks reached just above her knees.
She tilted her head with a smale, closing her e... Oh, whatever...
