Why isn't anyone joining? crying
I think there are a couple of reasons people aren't joining:
1. You haven't stated what the prizes are.
2. The entry fee is too high sweatdrop
3. It's not set out in a particularly easy form to read, so people may give up reading.
Just some ideas to point you in the right direction... sorry if you didn't want them! *hug*

Thank you for your application.

I have the following suggestions for you:

1. Consider having your prizes in either pure, or items that are more reliable than trunks and boxes. Trunks usually generate poor items, and the boxes are only rarely any better, especially lately.

If you have the trunks or boxes, try selling them for pure.

2. Require 10 entries at 100G each, and be patient about them joining. These contests always take a while to take off unless they are very specific, such as giving them a a starting line or theme.

Writing anything leaves too much room for indecision, and poetry contests are all too common UNLESS they are criteria-specific.

3. In your intorduction, you might want to say "I am holding a Your Choice Short Story writing contest."

I will be glad to grant you the following, which will leave you the 1000G entry fee money for the Guild you are trying to acquire:

1st Prize - 1500G
2nd Prize - 750G
3rd Prize - 400 G

Based on 10 entries.

I will watch the contest and send you the Grant when I see that you have 10 entries, and feel free to message me anytime.

If you need any help with judging, please let me know.

Best wishes...

bump ninja
She lay on her bed sataring at the celling her arms spread out from her body palms up. Her left wrist was covered by a cold towel. She had just finished cutting her wrist. A pain she knew all to well. The blood pouring from her her veins-She felt her heart beat in her freah wounds. She knew what she was doing to herself and her mothers face flahed though her mind. The way she yelled at her and called her stupid the way she just stood thier whale her father beat her when she came home 10 seconds late. Really her parents were killing her not the knife in her hand. Not many of her friend knew what wa sgoing on. Even tho she would go to school with bruses and cuts. But her freinds had thier own worries thier own problems never the less so they never payed much attention to her. She never had anyone close to talk to when things got rough so she turned to her knife and the self enflicting pain of cutting her wrists. She had a total of 2 friends and they were only a school thing they never came to see her and they never hung out other than school. -She rolled over and moaned in pain. She knew she was pushing it. To many cuts would edventually kill her. Her parents flashed hrough her mind once agen. She wanted to die-her life was filled with hatred,anger, and beatings. Her soul was nearley dead now anyway. "Who would miss you who would care. "A voice boomed in her head and drained out her own toughts. She wanted to live even though she attempterd sucide a few times before. At one time she done it to get her pqrents to notice her she knew that was wrong and it did'nt take her long to figure out that would never happen. When she came home from the hospital teh first time her father beat her so bad she had to go back. -Her father went off the handle. The next time she was cutting and her mother came in and yelled at her for getting blood on the carpet. She did'nt care about her only daughter's well being just her stupid carpet. "They hate you, you know I am right,if they did want you here they would ahve gotten you help by now." -That voice agen. She held her head in her hands rocking back and forth trying to get it to leave. "GET OUT." she screamed and she threw her knife across her room in a violent rage. "You ned to end it, you have to make them see you were serious, come on you know i am right." She looked back to her knife it was by her door. -She slowley got up. She took a look at her feet and as if she was being controlled by that little voice in her head she started to walk towards her knife. She picked it up and turned off her light. If she was gonna die she was gonna die in comfront. She walked back to her bed and turned down her sheet. -She held her teddy bear. She cut more and more she felt a river ofof blood pour out of her body and down her arms. She felt the blood soaking into her sheets she knew she was gonna die thier was noting anyone could do for her now. "Good gurl keep cutting go deeper and deeper." That voice said its last words. She was cutting and crying in a violent rage. -She lost all strength and dropped her knife. She lay in her bed with her teddybear on her cheast and her eyes went a crimson red then black. -She was gone. Out of teh pain and suffering that her parents put her through day after day. They couldent hurt her anymore. No one would ever reach her ever agen and that was what she wanted
