5.   You will be judged on your spelling and grammar along with creativity and originallity.

6.   Also, when you put your story up, don't put it up with a title, at least not on here where I can see who did what. I am going to "blind judge" them. So I can't know what each person wrote. Thanks.

The theme this time around will be: A Day in the Life of...a fairy tale being or creature. Tell me about one day in the life of whatever fairy tale being or creature you want. Be as creative as you want. Make sure to enjoy yourself! If you need to know more about the theme, check out the upcoming contest section at the bottom of the page.
