THIS IS OVER... ish.
So anyways, I was sitting about studying for some AP test, whining about how I have absolutely no time to do anything ever, when I got the brilliant idea to do a writing contest.
Go figure.
A few people who know me well know that I have the Hep C. How exciting.
Well, funtime's over. Turns out I'm clean. After four false positives. Blood tests suck.
But yay, I'm not dying. W00t (I was much more excited about this about a month ago). Dema's going to be with you freaks a bit longer. Try to contain your joy.
This is about the third major disease I've survived (yes, survived, the reason I kept screwing up the tests is because I have weird antibodies or something). I have no idea why I keep getting stupid diseases and living, but I do. God has sloppy smiting aim or something.
Theme? I want it to be something original about God. Ca.Ged is not allowed to enter in her piece about God in the elevator because she'd win automatically, and I'm sure someone would yell at me about that. However, if I ever find it, I'll put in a link so people will know what I want.
Here it is: http://www.geocities.com/integraderivation/remote/home.html
This doesn't have to be about any specific religion (which means any god you want people). Make up a religion. Hell, it doesn't have to be religious at all. Actually, I'd prefer if no religion was included at all. Rock on.
Yes, it is necessary that that be in bold. I don't want anyone thinking I'm some crazy uber Christian.
Entry fee: 74g
Yeah, that sucks. I tried to make it small, since I'm celebrating being alive and all that. Unfortunately, it turns out that I like fake gaian money. Go figure. Plus, the number has significance to me.
If you're poor or have recently joined, or are seriously having issues, pm me or post here and we'll work something out.
If you'd like to donate to this contest, go for it. That would rock.
If you'd like to donate to me, go for it. I'm questing, my gaian anniversary's in three days, and I'm greedy. If not, ah well. Please put that you're donating to me and not my contest, because otherwise I'll put it in the contest, and that would suck. For me. Doubt it would matter to anyone else.
Alright people, the prizes. They suck. However, the prize fee isn't too bad (go vote in a couple polls or something).
THE PRIZES HAVE GONE UP, THANKS TO MAHAYR AND HER EXTREME ROCKINESSNITIVITY. TEH W00T W00T.
!st: 6k
2nd: 2.5k
3rd: A fish
Please post entries in this thread. I want it PG-13. If God starts making out with a whole bunch of people I'm going to be very miffed.
Right now, there's no real deadline, except for some vague point in June. On June 1st I shall look about, and decide whether or not to abandon this thing. By that time I would like to have a few entries, so it is a sort of deadline.
AHHHH!!!!! SOME OTHER REQUIREMENTS I HAD FORGOTTEN!!!!!
There is no specific word format. Go crazy. Although, I should warn you, I am more partial to prose. But if you are truly better at poetry go for it.
No word minimum, but try to keep your stories short. How short? You decide. I don't care enough. If your story's really good and long, I'll read it. However, if it's really bad and long I will skim it and you will be less likely to win.
