Emotional Fear






Ok here we have a writing competition that I will not be writing for, I will add the example but this time I am going to be judging.

At the moment this is just a one time thing, later one I may advance it to more then one, and may make more but this is just a starter thing for me.




Rules
1. You're entry must be written by you, and only you. You can have other people check it over of course, but over all you must have written the story by yourself.

2. Do not harrass other people's writing's. If you do this I will not even bother to judge your writing.

3. Put Entry on your own writing page This is just so that this page won't become clustered

4. Add a word count That way I can know if I will need to free up more then 2 minutes to read your story.

5. Have fun! hopefully you follow this rule, along with the others.




Theme

The theme of this is simple, it is excatly like the title of the page says. If you are entering you are to write about emotional fear. This means no, death, blood, injury shalt happen to the main character. Feel free to have it happen to other things to strike fear into the main character but only if you can do it.

When I say emotional fear, I mean like someone being afraid of the boogie man, there is nothing to be scared of, but they think there is. In other words, the way that you would have become scared when you were young, you are to write something like that.




Requirement
Follow the rules
Is to be inbetween 200-2000 words for a prose
Inbetween 8-50 lines for a poem.

233.Short Stories.Alone in the Darkness

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: Ok well here you go my very first contest, I hope that people join ^^

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: Hey Burning. What sort of word processing program do you have?

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: you mean for making my stories? or what? sorry sorta tired can't think

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: Like Microsoft Word? Works? Wordpad?

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: WTF....why was I writing free for fear....and you're for your....maybe I should have maybe this tomorrow but oh well its fixed up now

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: I use Microsoft Word, y?

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: Do me a big big favor, and run this through a spell check. It really makes it worlds easier than doing it manually. ^_^

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: ^_^ I did, its set to Canadian english, unless you were talking about the page....then its just pitiful little mistakes I made....but with the story I had run multiple checks with the program, manually and everything, there shouldn't even really be grammar mistakes....if so I am amazed

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: *nod* Mkay. ^^

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: yea no the page is fixed up from a quick little check manually, the story shouldn't have any errors....so if its a little different than what you're used to, but it would be the same when I am reading something from like Europe or the U.S....its a little different

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: I'm going to try to get someone who can illustrate those differences to me, and maybe turn them into a tutorial page on Flipside. It'll be pertinent to know just what these differences are.

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: well I would....but I don't know all of the differences

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: I'll ask around.

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: well if you and me can free up the time we could figure it out....but that would mean going through like every word in the dictionary....which wouldn't be fun

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: I highly doubt that every word in the dictionary is different, burning, and I'm betting that syntax and grammatical structure is exactly the same. 

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: possibly, but I was meaning that you would have to go through the dictionary to find out what words were different

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: I can probably figure out when a word is purposefully spelled a certain way as opposed to misspelled, I think. ^_^ I'm sure I can find someone to donate some time.

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: well theres always the basics with Colour for us, and color for u, and a bunch of other I just can't remember them off of the top of my head

2006-01-14 [Mister Saint]: See, that one's pretty obvious. ^-^ 

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: lol yea

2006-01-14 [chuchutrain]: :)

2006-01-14 [Burning Inside]: yay I was wondering when you would finally join, and take your time on you entry if you want

2006-01-14 [chuchutrain]: okay ^^ I still don't have an idea lol ^^;;

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Oy! I have a question, Burning. In my story, the min character does have an injury, but it occurred before the story started and was an accident as opposed to being hurt by something. Will I need to edit that out, or does it not count?

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: I'm in Burn. took me a while but I got it. :)

2006-01-17 [Burning Inside]: its a prior injury, while it may have something to do with the story, it had not happened in the story, it is fine and well.

2006-01-17 [Burning Inside]: btw hello Kuzco, and thank you both Moorn and Kuzco for the stories, I will read them as soon as I get a chance

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: My story isn't working out *cries*

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: calm yourself...trust in the force and explain what you mean?

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: my entry for this contest, I'm having quite a hard time doing it...

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: How so, hon? We can help. ^^ If you need creepy, just check Kuzco's sock drawer. >.>

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: heh, well I used a nightmare I had last year so it was pretty straightfoward. remember, someone gets really scared but nothing actually happens. Think monsters, aliens, even robbers, anything that would scare you and be as creative with the set as you can. Of course you know this already but what the heck, right? ;)

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: o.O maybe I'll write about Kuzco's Sock Drawer from Hell *ponders*

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: I don't know...good idea's just wont work for me in this sense...which is annoying the hell outta me

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: Dude! Chu, do not check my sock drawer, I don't want you having a nervous breakdown on my account. Please, stay away...from my sock drawer

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: ....why is it so bad?

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Hey Chu. Look up Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart". Ish where I got my inspiration.

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: okeys

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: Oh! You DON'T wanna know. Moorn found out and he had to have some serious therapy right Moorn? But anyways, come on CHu, you can do it! We believe in you! Don't we? *points a rocket launcher at everyone...but Chu*

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: ^^;; oh that's convincing threatening everyone :P

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Yeah, I saw his sock drawer. I swear I've never seen so many gnomes in my life... and I didn't know they came in that color.

2006-01-17 [Kuzco]: they GOT that color man, they didn't CAME in that color if you know what I mean. And chu, have you ever heard true honesty only shows itself when at the opposite end of a gun?

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Not necessarily. If I'm standing with the barrel pointing at me, then technically the grip is the other end of the gun. ^^

2006-01-17 [Mister Saint]: Not necessarily. If I'm standing with the barrel pointing at me, then technically the grip is the opposite end of the gun. ^^

2006-01-17 [chuchutrain]: no I haven't heard that saying

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: true honesty is only at the opposite end of a gun, if the person staring down the gun actually thinks they would fire, and don't want to die.....but hey hope you figure something out chu

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: :) thankies

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: ^^ no problem...and btw you dont call me stupid when I make you unable to say something you say shut up....then I tell you to shut up....then becky joins in.....and yea I wont continue from there

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: very true...oh well same thing

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: lol yea I guess ^^

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: whatever

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: *poke!*

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: *pokes back* don't poke me!

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: *pokes Moorn, and Chu* wow I haven't poked u in a while....but thats kus u just stand there ur not ticklish

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: :D:D yup and you are ticklish so you wouldn't dare.... ^_^

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: hahaha no u don't, no im a very ticklish guy....and she is one of those girls that is just impervious(sp?) to tickling

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: I think you got it right, actually. ^^ And... gah! That's dangerous, hanging around a girl.

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: lol yup...well not really but you just don't know where! haHA!

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: That is, an invincible girl.

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: ^^ I'm just good at keeping what I don't know people to know secret ^^

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: lol its not dangerous....its just very bad for my health....see when people say dont smoke its bad for your health, its actually because when you smoke theres a girl nearby and slowly over time you get sick ^^

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: ....ok...I feel so outnumbered here...

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: lol yes see its like 2 to 1...so you could feel outnumbers....or pleas.......no im not even going to finish that one

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: Yeah, but you've got more power than us, Chuey. o.o

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: just say it

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: no no no, you know those sick comments where you say grose then hesitate to hit me.....well this is like 5X worse....on both of our behaves(yea pretty sure thats spelt wrong)

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: *stares at Chu and the weasel* now dont get any ideas *slowly backs up* we wouldn't want someone getting hurt *turns around and runs*

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: *tickles Burning*

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: NOOOOOOO *laughs* stop!!! *pushes Chu off*

2006-01-18 [Burning Inside]: *runs away then vanishes in a puff of smoke*

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: Chuey, you vaporized him!

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: *puts up an anti appearing force field so Burning can't come back*

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: No I didn't! I tickled him! Not vaporized! I didn't bring my vaporizer!

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: Maybe he's allergic to girls?

2006-01-18 [chuchutrain]: yeah...and I'm allergic to B/S....lol

2006-01-18 [Mister Saint]: Ohh, okay. Well... hm. If you upload it once, you can keep using the same image code to make it appear. So upload it to Meepzilla and then just copy the code.

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: hahhah, I saw that on the movie Madagascar. Happy birthday man.

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol thanks, Btw, welcome Po

2006-01-19 [Po]: Thanks! I think this is a great contest idea, and I can't wait to get working on it. :D

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: ^^ well I can't wait to read your entry....course take your time there is still no deadline

2006-01-19 [Po]: Hopefully I will get a chance to hit the pc a bit before the weekend, then some more before my surgery next thursday...I should have it done up in two sittings or so.

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: surgery?

2006-01-19 [Po]: yeah, I'm having some wisdom teeth removed, and the regular dentist isn't able to do it. So I get three teeth cut out of my mouth on thursday. fun fun. :-$

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: sound hilarious...anyways, I don't trust doctors much, but I trust them over dentists....

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol doctors are good, if they know whats wrong, if they don't its just gay

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: the problem is they may think "what the hell is wrong with this kid?" and say "So what's wrong is this..." and some random stuff. I know, I witnessed it!

2006-01-19 [Mister Saint]: Well, that depends on whether the doctor thinks you're cute, the whole gay thing.

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: LOL, now you got me scared.

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol yea thats what I meant, thats why I said if they know, if not then they guess and its gay, if they know then everything is done and overwith quickly

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: o.O my parents don't like doctors

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lol mine i dont know my parents are odd

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: mine don't like them because all they will tell them is "You just need to take it easy and rest" and they don't like that so yeah...

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: lmao nice

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: yeah it's really messed up my mom cut her surgery recovery time in half o.O

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: ouch

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: I agree with them ;). One must be very cautious when consulting doctors. My dad checks everything they may say with other sourses, for example :)

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: it was freaky...they said 1 year...she was back at work in 6 months...

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: wow

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: yup

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: I could tell you worst, but why talk about bad stuff right? let's change the subject

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: ok :D

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: ^^ evil flying monkeys took over my brain, and sold it to the aliens, who gave it to the european government, who got annoyed and tossed me into the ocean, where later I showed up in Ontario, they sent my brain, to Mantioba for research, but it ended up in Alberta, someone took it and placed it on there shelf, but people learned of this and didn't like it so they stole my brain and took it to a small town of Hinton, shortly after someone noticed the BELONGS TO STEVE OF HINTON, on the brain and then put it back in my body ^^

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: and then since it went through so much it got damaged and that's where we are today...Steve with a damaged brain ^^ *whispers* and I put a chip in there so I can control him ^^

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: *twitches* no thats not cool

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: why?

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: because then I do things against my will

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: ....in the words of Becky's cousin "BEND DOWN!" lol kidding. No...because the chip makes it so you want to do it so technically it isnt' against your will

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: hmm....good point

2006-01-19 [chuchutrain]: yup

2006-01-19 [Kuzco]: It might not be against his will, but that doesn't mean he has FREE WILL ;). But good going. Burn, you gave me an idea for a contest, I'll message you about. excuse me

2006-01-19 [Burning Inside]: oh wow sweet im liking this already, hope its good, ill be sure to join

2006-01-20 [chuchutrain]: yay :D

2006-01-21 [chuchutrain]: *dances with joy* I have and idea!! *runs off to try and write it*

2006-01-21 [Kuzco]: hhehe, Me and Burn have started our contest. The first flipside joint operations! It's on Comical Random check it out :P. And yeah chu, I just know it's a good one ;)

2006-01-21 [SleepingDragon]: Yea, that's gonna be a toughy for me. I can write comedy INTO a story but never tried just writing an out and out laugh fest. I tend to have a sarcastic/laid back sense of humor sometimes. I'm worried people won't get the jokes, lol

2006-01-21 [Kuzco]: A challenge is always good. :P If you're strong at sarcastic/laid back humor and find a way to put it into a random story. It'll be hilarious! Everyone try too :P

2006-01-21 [chuchutrain]: yay I'll try it out too...but right now I'm about half done the entry for this contest so I'll go check it out after along with all the other contests I have to join ^^;;

2006-01-24 [Po]: I'm sorry, man. I'm not going to have time to commit to this contest before my surgery on Thursday. Bummer, because I was really into the concept. I'll have to save it for later.

2006-01-24 [Kuzco]: you got time. no worries right? :)

2006-01-24 [Burning Inside]: it is alright, the deadline isn't for a long time, probably not till around half way through Feb. but no guarantee on that, hope the sugery goes well for u btw

2006-01-24 [chuchutrain]: dido, Po!

2006-01-24 [Kuzco]: Very much divine luck to ya :P

2006-01-29 [Burning Inside]: everyone send out a warm welcoming hand to the addition, [coolgal] *claps hands* hi ^^

2006-02-02 [Akayume]: hello!

2006-02-02 [chuchutrain]: but I'm off to catch up on my contest entries, hopefully

2006-02-02 [Burning Inside]: yay welcome and join Flipside

2006-02-03 [chuchutrain]: [shadow in the midst] needs to get her butt in here and join flipside as well! :D lol

2006-02-03 [Burning Inside]: yea but she isn't really a writer

2006-02-03 [Akayume]: ??

2006-02-03 [chuchutrain]: she likes to write poems...right? so she's a writer :P

2006-02-03 [Burning Inside]: yea i guess

2006-02-04 [chuchutrain]: yup :D

2006-02-04 [Po]: Good poets are harder to come by than good prose writers, in my humble opinion. Just like good lyricists are rare.

2006-02-04 [chuchutrain]: that's a good point.

2006-02-06 [coolgal]: whats a lyricist?

2006-02-06 [SleepingDragon]: someone that writes lyrics for songs

2006-02-07 [Burning Inside]: i have written a few good lyrics, one that is suppidly really good, but needs a few adjustments, but yea lyrics are never the easiest thing to be good at

2006-02-07 [chuchutrain]: I wanna read!! :D

2006-02-08 [Burning Inside]: i would need to get them back from kendall kus those were to only things that were still on my computer....

2006-02-08 [chuchutrain]: oh....fiiiiine

2006-02-20 [*Amy*]: When are you going to decide on a deadline? i was just wondering. Kinda getting a bit anxious about the judging:P

2006-02-20 [chuchutrain]: he isn't going to be able to decide a deadline till he can get onto a decent computer for awhile. Since his computer is down. :)

2006-02-20 [*Amy*]: Oh okay. well then i guess i can wait:P

2006-02-20 [chuchutrain]: don't worry...I'll kick his butt the next time I see him for keeping you waiting :D

2006-02-20 [*Amy*]: thanks ;)

2006-02-20 [chuchutrain]: no problem ;)

2006-02-21 [*Amy*]: *big smiles*

2006-02-23 [Burning Inside]: lol she actually did kick my butt, and I'll try to have the end date in sometime in the next few days but I can't guarantee anything since I never get on for all that long, I'll go do some work on it right away

2006-02-23 [*Amy*]: Yay! :P

2006-02-23 [chuchutrain]: *smiles big* I always keep my promises :D well not really but I do most of the time! :D

2006-02-23 [*Amy*]: :P *grins*

2006-02-23 [*Amy*]: yay so happy. I can't believe i got 2nd! :D *big grins*

2006-02-23 [Po]: Congrats on a deserving placement, KM!!! *dances*
