Hi!:) I came across some illustrations by a Korean artist today and thought it might be nice to create a contest with the theme Love - I was hoping to make this contest into something like a scrapbook...one which you may all want to look back sometime!

Here is an animated short film made by the artist showcasing some of her illustrations:

For the contest, feel free to write a sentence or a short paragraph around the theme, or you can submit a sketch or a simple doodle about your thoughts too! Any kind of love is ok! If you would like to write/draw about family love or love for a much treasured toy, I would love to hear about it as well!

Below are some links which I bumped into earlier today - I hope they will help with your writing/doodling!

This one shows a kickstarter project which the artist is funding for her art book publication:

The following one shows some of the artist's selected drawings featured in a Korean magazine:

And this last one shows a heartwarming portfolio of the artist's illustrations and projects:

I'm not sure if you would all like this contest...but I hope you will! :')​​

I saw the above cover photo this afternoon...I think it would be nice to use the idea for a contest! Feel free to pick any word (or words!) and create your own special mini story/definition around it using each letter - you can also write anything which you feel strongly about or even create a short story around it (but make sure the story is related to the word(s) you choose and remember to start each sentence with the letters in the word(s)!)

So for instance if you were to submit an entry for the word Fear, you can choose to type it this way:

Forget

Everything

And

Run

...or you could write a mini story about the word Fear as well!

For a moment she felt the weight of the world crash down.

Eve held her breath

And

Ran.

I hope you'll find it fun!:)

Come up with the most insulting insults of all insult history! It doesn't matter who or what is your source, just say it to make one laugh. And by all means, let your imagination run wild.

The prompt is simple.

Write a story in the point of view of a flower being given from a person to another.

There is no word limit, just keep it short as possible. Be creative and have fun!

Winners will be chosen by me.

Be bold and be brave to continue the story. As the title says "I didn't do it!" make a story around it. Should it be a romance? A drama? An action?A mystery. Or etc, etc. It depends on how the story will revolve in your hands. There is really no rules. You can have as many entry as you like but try not to post consecutively. But! There is one catch: One sentence per entry.

Makes it more interesting!

Good luck guys! Have fun!

I've started the first entry.

Make a quick, fifteen or less sentence story that shows the most creative and last-second way that two people said I love you. It can be a hail of bullets, a bomb, a death bed admittance, anything. Dialogue or none, it doesn't matter the goal is just to make the reader feelsomething.

1 sentence no more and it must be moving, doesn't need context it can be all dialog.

The title says it all.

Create your own 2-sentence horror story. There is no word limit (As long as it's two sentences. No more. No less.)

Be creative. Have fun writing! :)

I've made some changes in the contestdue to plagiarism. Some of your entries are not original which is against the rules. Please, do not copy/use others' works, be fair and make your own.

The winners will be chosen by me and not by like count.

Thank you.

here's the prompt

Those three little words, 8 letters....

I hate you...
