Story Writing Competition!

Hi guys!

We haven't had a competition in a little while, so we thought it might be fun if we did a story writing competition (again)!

The way it works is there are several prompts, consisting of a couple of sentences, below. You should use one of these as the inspiration of your story, and include it in the story somewhere.

The rules are fairly few and simple:

1. No plagiarism. It's not that fun, really, if you don't write it yourself!
2. The word minimum is 250 - there is no maximum. Just keep in mind that it should be a proper, finished story!
3. Please use spellcheck/edit so that you don't have too many (if any) spelling/grammatical errors!

Other than that, you can use any character you want - yours from CR, or another roleplay, the book that you're writing, or completely new ones. It's up to you!

The (proposed) prizes are as follows:

First place: 800 tokens OR a week (7 days) as a staff member

Second Place: 400 tokens

Third Place: 200 tokens

Anyone else who enters will receive 100 tokens for their participation!

Please give it a go, I'd love to see as many entries as possible!

Here are the promps:

#1 She took a deep, shuddering breath, doing her best to stay calm. Gazing down at battered and scarred hands, she clenched them into fists.

#2 He ran, heedless of the tree branches that whipped against his face, and the wind that caused his eyes to stream. If he could get away, he would be safe. . .

Please PM your finished entry to me, with an appropriate title (eg writing competition) so I can keep track of the entries. Your story can have a title or not, and also, can you please include at the top of the PM which prompt you used.

The competition will end sometime on the 21st of August, so get writing and have fun! :D

(If you have any questions, concerns and the like, feel free to talk to me or another staff member in the CBox, or PM me! C;)
