ok, Sam challenged me to a write off, and now it's war...Angie or Ash, can you move this to the contest board?
And Angie, or Ash...whichever posts first. We need one of you two (and only one of you two) to give us a sentence that the story must contain, and thee sentence must be an important line(make it something unusual, but good, that way we have a challenge...)
the rules?
1. no longer than one post long
2. no bribing the judges (we will need some of those)
3. judges must come to a majority decision
4. the stories will be posted by a different guildian so no one votes on the author, only on the story (me and Sam will ask someone)
5. must have the sentence given as an important sentence in the plot
....
anymore I will post later
kk, sign up for judges people
and move this to contest please?

One sentence it must contain? Okay, how about this: "I felt like laughing, crying, screaming at it all, but all I could do was realize that this was only the beginning of the confusion that was to be my life from then on out." I'm sure I can do better if you wish.

Lol, I wear pink, but I'm quite emo at heart. With me, it seems to be either too silly or too melodramatic. But I'll try.  Okay, let's try this: "No one can tell me 'somewhere over the rainbow' is just a fairy tale; I go to Oz every chance I get." Erm, perhaps you should get Ash to do this. I quit writing fiction over a year ago, and I think I did it for a reason. . . |

LOL, I've got one. (FYI, this is a joke, along with all the other things I'm about to post out of boredom until Ash posts the real sentence. I've got some really funny ones. ) "Zoey ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind herself out of habit even though no one was around to see how to get into her bedroom; she climbed onto the sink and pulled the mirror off the wall to reveal a miniature makeshift door with a lock on it, and then she hurriedly grabbed at the chain around her neck and pulled a key out from under her shirt so she could unlock it and climb through the hole onto her dresser." Now I'll go find a really emo one. . . |

Oooh, here's a great one! Perfect for two guys to write from.  "My mom had meant so much to me those past 9 years since my father’s death, and I just hoped she knew it, for the thought hadn’t been spoken in our home for too long." (I've got a million of these excerpts. You're going to love them and their emo-ness. . . ) |

This is probably the most emo excerpt I'll be able to find: "I began realizing something that I had never really, truly thought about before. I was isolated. I had always known that people perceived me as odd, and my refusal to speak was crippling in some situations, but until that moment, as I truly observed them as people and not just examples of human habit that I could write an essay about, it had never really hit me how separated from them I was. Every single person on Earth, even my mother, was in a circle of people living their lives, and I was standing a million miles away from it, unable to push my way to it or call out for help." (Don't worry, I'll delete all this rubbish once you guys actually start using this thread for its original purpose. ;D I'm really really bored tonight. ) |

Lol, do you think Sam would relate to it better than you or something? |

Ooh, here's the paragraph before a crying scene (don't you just love those as a big, tough, macho guy? ): "I couldn’t take it; I got up and ran outside. I ran as fast and as far as my feet would take me. I kept changing directions, almost as if I were trying to outrun the part of me that wanted to be normal, not wanting to face it at that moment. But of course, I knew I could not and would not ever be normal. I wouldn’t realize it until much time and struggle had passed in my life that perhaps that wasn’t such a bad thing." |

No, Id just use it as more of a "Diary of a psychopath" thing, and it would be interesting, but people wouldnt think it better than Sams story (he will be sure to milk the "I dont fit into society, hug me" kind of vibe EDIT: nice one, but nahhhh it doesnt have to be overly emotional...it could be something like "Oh yeah, I remember you" to something as dramatic as "My heart gave one last thud, then fell into nothingness" |

Lol, you could just copy and paste the story I took that from; you'd be sure to win if it's in context that well, even if the story does suck. It's probably way more emo than anything Sam could write, either. ;D |
