Hosted by [Kaimee], a flipside contest.
Forgiveness. Pardon, pity, mercy, absolution. I want you to write for me forgiveness, in any guise you wish.
Your entry should be less than 800 words and can be in either prose or poetry, entries will be judged on brilliance, alone. Brilliance will be judged by me, and spelling, grammar and creativity do of course impinge on the delivery of brilliance, so polish your work kiddos, and run it through a spell checker at least ;)
This idea came to me while writing my entry for [Burning Inside]'s War Diary contest. After finishing my entry it seemed to me that my piece was about forgiveness, and compassion. I'd like you guys to bring me as many and as varied entries as you can, my example of a War Diary being only one of the many forms forgiveness takes. Show me what you're made of guys ;)
RULES:
Subject to change at any time without notice
1. The theme of your piece must center around or focus on forgiveness. This doesn't mean that you can just throw the word 'forgive' in there somewhere, I want
themed pieces.
2. Original work only, plagiarism
will be looked for.
3. Prose and/or poetry permitted.
4. Prose: Maximum of 800 words, minimum of 150 words. Poetry: maximum of 35 lines, minimum of 10 lines.
5. Maximum of two entries per member.
6. I am not easily offended. Pornographic or gratuitously violent scenes will get you disqualified.
Other than that, *shrugs* if you're old enough to write it then I'm old enough to read it.
I ask that any members with mature content post warnings on their pieces.
Anyone who enters the contest or reads other member's pieces has been warned; you may stumble across things you don't so much like.
7. If you squabble on or over the contest, I will get cranky :P
JUDGING AND PRIZES:
Entries will be judged by me, according to sheer brilliance :P Correct spelling and grammar will heighten your chances of your story appearing brilliant, although if you're a good enough writer they may not get in the way. *shrugs* Your choice on that, I just tend to enjoy correct spelling and grammar more.
I also tend to enjoy the creative, rather than the predictable, please; work on that. If you do not adhere to the word/line count limitations you will be disqualified. If you break the rules you will be disqualified. My say is final.
1st, 2nd and 3rd places will recieve badges, everyone will recieve a participant badge.
Pending
1st place will recieve a review of their winning piece by me, with as much commenting and critiquing I see the need for :P
The other two winners are doing it for prestige alone! ;)
Of course, I may just be un-predictable and do whatever strikes my fancy at the time. Brace yourself for either no c&c or a flood of it, no warning as to who will recieve. 1st, 2nd, 3rd or general participants are all equally susceptible
to crazy Kaimee o.o
