100 Words Contest


This is a Free to Write contest, hosted by [Emily]!


<img:stuff/moorndivider8.jpg>


Rules


This is a contest that is slightly confusing, but totally worth doing.

You must write a paragraph following these terms:

- 100 words exactly in length, no more and no less.

- No repeating of any words. This includes 'a', 'the', 'it', 'I', 'me', etc.

- Themes?: No theme. It can be totally random. Go from space to the wild if you want to.

Purpose


The purpose of this exercise is to see what you can do before you have to crack out a thesaraus and/or dictionary. I suggest that you try this exercise monthly, yearly, whatever, but do it more than once. See how far your vocabulary can take you!

Scoring and Info


I will score based on if you followed the rules, and then content. It's okay if your paragraph is random, I will not bias you on if it all fits in a nice little compact theme or not. Grammar and punctuation is a given. Any errors in spelling or grammar will dock points. Creativity will earn you more points.

1. Paragraph form only.

2. Original work only, please copyright.

3. Spellcheck, grammar, the regular will help you in points or harm you in points, depending on how you use this godly power.

4. 100 words only. NO more, NO less.

5. Deadline is January 29th, 2006.

6. Submissions with overt sexual themes may be okay, but they should be privately messaged to me, ([Emily],) for review.


For an example, see 252.Miscellaneous Material.Wonder Sitting on the Docks

2006-01-09 [SleepingDragon]: A tough exercise, hope I did it right.

2006-01-10 [Emily]: Thanks so much [SleepingDragon]! It fits the rules and content wonderfully. Also a fun read. Salvation has arrived, choo-choo!

2006-01-10 [Mister Saint]: Excellent rewrite on the rules Emily, this is exactly what I'd hoped to see. ^_^

2006-01-10 [Emily]: Whoo hoo!

2006-01-11 [Kuzco]: Damn this is a tough one. Very good idea no doubt, but DAMN this is a tough one. ;) (for me at least)

2006-01-11 [Emily]: I can always extend the time if anyone needs it. It's a fun little project. My suggestion is that you just start writing and don't stop. Find what you like and use it.

2006-01-11 [Kuzco]: And that's a good suggestion. But it's hard for me to write something decent without repeating "the, is, a, than, that" etc. but nah, no need to extend it. It's just 100 words right? ;)

2006-01-11 [Kuzco]: Let it never be said I didn't try...cheers, I'm off to bed

2006-01-11 [Emily]: YAY! Thanks so much Kuzco!

2006-01-11 [Moonlit Serenade]: Now I just need time to do it.

2006-01-11 [Mister Saint]: *provides moral support by waggling weasel-shaped pom-poms*

2006-01-11 [Emily]: -Stares at Moorn.- Strange...

2006-01-11 [Mister Saint]: At least I'm not using real weasels.

2006-01-11 [Emily]: This is true.

2006-01-11 [Moonlit Serenade]: I think weasels are spiffy. Kinda like mole rats...

2006-01-11 [Burning Inside]: im going to love this, your giving me a challenge

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: what's a bree? What do you mean sp? I just short circuited here....*falls on the ground with smoking head*

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: *laughs* (sp?) means I probably spelled it wrong. And a bree is a huge, round, and white-ish cheese that, I guess, is eaten with wine? I don't know, I think it is an English thing. ^_^

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: AH, I recognize bree now! *eats the bree*

2006-01-17 [Font]: Brie Cheese, it's French, pretty nice.. had some tonight in a toasted sandwhich ^_^

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Oh, I figured I had it wrong. The only place I saw it was on the TV show Whose Line is it Anyway. ^^

2006-01-17 [Font]: Ya, it's really not that common. Not something you go out of your way each week to buy.

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Especially over here in Hickville U.S.A. *snickers*

2006-01-17 [Font]: We decided to get a cheese hamper to go with our Christmas food, and I had my first taste of it then. 

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: wow nice, I dont think I have ever tried it....but my home is like....well Hickville, Alberta.....

2006-01-18 [Font]: It's nothing worth dying for, but it is an experience a taste of France ^_^

2006-01-19 [Kaimee]: We always have Danish Brie in the fridge, it's pretty common here O.o; And camembert (like Brie, but french, not as sharp), and walnut cheese, cheddar, pepperjack, gouda, parmesan, ricotta, and crackerbarrel, and all sorts of random cheeses ^^; Most people here do too, maybe Australians eat cheese more than other nationalities? :P

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: Could be. Cheese is good for ya though. Puts hair on your chest. *hands Kaimee an electric shaver* 

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: lol....that is a LOT of cheese. I like cheese, cheese is good. :P

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: yea im just deleting myself from this competition for now, if I can do it later I will, but right now I can't

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: what? but you were already in?

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: How come? You already had your entry in, Burning.

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: thash what I mean *weeps* where's my damned tissue? *looks in pockets*

2006-01-19 [Kaimee]: But but but.... I liked Burning's entry O.o

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: Yeah, me too. What gives, boyo?

2006-01-19 [Kaimee]: P.S. Cheese is a staple of life *^_^* You can eat it with almost anything else! :D

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: Even more cheese. ^^

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: Well... I messaged him, but he's signed out. I guess we'll see later. ^^

2006-01-19 [Kaimee]: That's sucky :( Wonder why he withdrew? :/

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: I don't know. I liked his entry...

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: *Cries* I shouldn't have smacked him *finds tissue, blows his nose, weeps some more*

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol the smack didn't matter, like I told Moorn, it had mistakes and should have been better, I am going to make another one asap but incase I can't I also withdrew myself from the competition I may be back in a bit

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: ok *goes to the bathroom* man we were on the verge of a real accident here.

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol yea sorry to cause such a stir, I will try to come back right away, well probably not for about a week minimum, to make sure its really good. but im still here, just not a member for now
