The premise is quite simple. I'll post the lyrics to a song. You read them and let them inspire you. You write a short story and enter it in { bitem } format and I judge the entries and award gps! First place: 5000 gps Second place: 2500 gps Third place: 2000 gps Honorable Mention(s): 1000 gps If there are less than 5 entries, I will only award first and second place. Under three entries, only first place. Most of all, have fun. You MUST post in { bitem } format unless you don't have room in your port. Basic Rules: 1. I prefer short stories, though you can enter poetry if you like. 2. Any genre and rating welcome, BUT, your post in the forum must adhere to the 18+ rating!!! 3. There is no minimum word count, but try not to go over 3000 words. I'm not going to count unless I think it's well over. 4. Only one entry per person per round. If you win a round, you can't win the following round. But, you can still enter to get a review and rating...you just can't place twice in a row. DEADLINE: All entries must be received by January 24th...This will probably be a bi-weekly contest...we'll see! Donations welcome! If you donate, make sure you specify which contest you're donating too! Thanks. Here is the song that will inspire you! Sometimes It's A Bitch by Stevie Nicks Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy I cried a river of tears from the pain I try to dance with what life has to hand me My partner's been pleasure...my partner's been pain There are days when I swear I could fly like an eagle And dark desperate hours that nobody sees My arms stretched triumphant on top of the mountain My head in my hands...down on my knees Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze I've reached in darkness and come out with treasure I've laid down with love and I woke up with lies What's it all worth only the heart can measure It's not what's in the mirror...but what's left inside Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze You gotta take it as it comes Sometimes it don't come easy I've run through rainbows and castles of candy And I've cried a river of tears from the pain I tried to dance with what life had to hand me And if I could...I'd do it all over again Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes love's blind...and sometimes it sees Sometimes it's roses...and, sometimes it's weeds Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes it's a breeze Sometimes the picture just ain't what it seems You get what you want...but it's not what you need Sometimes it's a bitch...sometimes...it's a breeze Well it's a breeze...it's a breeze...it's a breeze...
