The green light has been given! After weeks of preparation, the Contest can be launched!

This has been brewing in many users' mind for awhile. Enter the Official Writing Contest!

General Rules

1)Submissions for the context must specify the word count implemented.
2)It must adhere to the period's theme as the main idea, or at least have some connection.
3)It must be submitted by the deadline. (The deadline will be according to AG time so that people will not be confused by the timeframe/exploit difference in time zones.)
4)A winner cannot win twice in a row, though he or she can submit an entry the next week.
5)Winners get a merit.

What not to include

1)No excessive inappropriate language, such as vulgarities, swearing. This includes slandering anyone in the AG community.
2)No slandering of race, religion, culture, language of people.
3)No sexual references or innuendoes, though romantic scenes such as kissing can be included.

Actions that lead to disqualification

1)No plagiarism. If it has been discovered that the story has been copied, e.g. the plot has been copied, the user will be disqualified with immediate action. However, elements of inspiration can be allowed.
2)Only one submission is allowed for each user. So please do not create multiple accounts for multiple entries. If it has been discovered that a user has submitted many entries due to this method, he or she will be disqualified.
3)If someone's username is used as a character's name or mentioned in the story, ask for permission first. Failure to do so may lead to disqualification.

Judge: Me, though I will appoint someone else if I want to take part.

Current Theme: Fire. Fiery start eh?

Deadline: 31st May (Two weeks)


Without further ado, let it begin!

*Note: Everything is subjected to change!

I've maded two stories. One with 258 words and one with 154 words.
I'll post that one with 154 words !
Its about racism!


Nick & Jerry was two very good friends. Nick was white and Jerry was black. Jerry lived in London together with Nick, but he couldnt get a job because of his skin color. There was alot of racism on that time. One day, Nick decided to fight the racism. He maked long speeches to convince people, that racism is stupid and evil. Jerry was very happy for that! After two years of hard work with speeches and campaigns, people finally discovered that racism is a stupid and evil thing. But unfortunately, there were still racist people. One week after the renovation, Nick was shot. Jerry was very sad offcourse, he lost his best friend. But he decided to be strong. He erected a statue in memory of Nick, his best friend, that fighted the racism. Everybody supported Jerry. They helped him building that statue in memory of Nick.

Thats how the racism almost dissappeared!


If anybody wants to see the other one, just tell me
Its actually the same stories, just more detailed!

Sure. I'm not trying to tell people off from this thread, but I DO have a cool suggestion: try my other post, titled:

Contest!!! Post Short Stories here!

It has a different set of rules, and a slightly different approach, which I will be judging.

I'll have my submission to this post in by Wednesday next week ( october 2009 ), is that cool?

I won't post a deadline until I have more than one entry, lol.

So for now, we're on indefinite deadline freeze.
