I actually want to participate in this contest...

maybe a short-story one this time?

and i think there should be a minimum of 150-200 words (or letters, ;P))

Topic: Vampires Pirates?

Reason: because you are too lazy to write whole sentences ^_^

So, what's the topic?

and will there be a sentence you need to begin with?


message 8: by [deleted user] (new)

Sarah is in complete control over this, ask her.


♥ Sarah ♥  (sarah_aka-me) | 25 comments okay, the topic is a short story.

Guidelines:

1. It must be on a historical event

2. Limit the story to three chapters (it's a short story people)

3. Limit the swear/cuss words and no pornography

4. Story due by December 10th

Have Fun!!

Donna Hatch (goodreadscomdonnahatch) | 4 comments I'm a history geek, which is why I write Regency novels, and I'd love to do something for your contest, but I'm in final edits for my full length book that was due to my editor weeks ago. I could send you a chapter out of my book, but it wouldn't be a complete short story work. That'd be lame, huh?


message 26: by ♥ Sarah ♥ (new)

♥ Sarah ♥  (sarah_aka-me) | 25 comments it would be fine. Just provide enough info about the event. Four more days people!
