You know, I <i>really</i> shouldn't be starting another series of contests but I just feel like the contest section needs some more diversity in its contests so here goes with the writing rounds.

<b>THE BASICS</b>:
-- Every round I will post a new prompt. Prompts can be range from a subject, idea, or a line.
-- You must write a piece (drabble, one-shot, etc) from ANY fandom or even original writing that includes the <i>prompt</i>.
-- Limit of length of writing will vary.
-- Awards will probably be graphics.
-- It will be a public voting; however, posts will be editted after recording the vote.

+++++++++++++++++++
Writing Prompt Contest - Round 01
+++Prompt: "Winter"
+++++Word Limitation: 2,000

<b>Rules:</b>
-Your entry must be around 2,000 words. I will not accept anything over 2,500 words.
-It must abide by forum rules (no swearing, etc).
-It must relate to the prompt.
-Due Date: December 21st, 2007
-Please mark appropriate warnings for any insinuations, implications, etc.

+++++++++++++++++++
Members Entered:
-Turwaithiel Swann
-The Nightingale
-Firiel
-Freya Baggins
-pirateoftherings



-[Kit]

<b>P.S.</b> I must ask that no one attempt another "Prompt" like contest, if you would like to suggest ideas for prompts, feel free to post or pm me but I have to be the one to regulate fanfiction writings because of iffy thin line about rules/guidelines of the forum.

Yay! First contestant! [hugs] Are the guidelines okay [twiddles thumbs]? Any changes you might think of.


The due date is definitely not set in stone, I may extend it so you guys have at least 2-3 weeks to write your stuff.

Yep- the rules look good to me! Just one quick question- we can write pretty much anything (fiction, poetry, fanfic, etc.) as long as it relates the prompt and fits in with the rules? Just making sure before I start writing. lol

Oh bother. I really want to enter this, but I can't think of anything to write about. Well, I'll sit down with the prompt when I take my hour for writing today and see what I come up with.

Don't worry, you'll get an inspiration. It can be from anything, remember, as long as it has some mention of the winter season! :)

*sniffle*
I just wrote my very first tragedy. But I like it nonetheless... I guess... I'm surprised I'm not sobbing over here.


*goes off to find a box of tissues anyway*

:o! Oh me! [comforts Nightingale] I didn't mean for you to be distraught over the entry----but I'spose it does good if it makes even the writer cry! I did get your pm, thank you for entering!
