Every month a different writing.com genre will be chosen (Action/Adventure, Activity, Adult, Comedy, etc.) to write a story to, and words will be chosen that you cannot use in that story. You have from the 1st of the month, to the 10th of the month, to get your entries in!

Because of the large amount of disqualified entries in the past, we will be adding a reviewing portion to this contest. Once the entry deadline has passed, every entry will be reviewed from 1 to 3 times by members of "Reviewing Reviewers"  [E]. They will help you find any forbidden words that you may have missed catching, and give you suggestions in improving your item. These will not be the same people that will be judging the competition, with the exception of Sara♥Jean , who will review as many entries as possible, since it is her (my) contest. The reviewing/editing period will last from the 11th of the month, to the 20th.

Entrants will be given until the 11:59 pm WDC time on the 22nd to edit their entries, and judging will begin on the 23rd, lasting through the 30th or 31st.

1. Your entry needs to be a new item written for this contest! You should not adapt older pieces to fit this one. It should be a brand new idea.

2. Your entry does not need to have a specific rating. All ratings are allowed in this contest. Your post, item name, and item description, however, have to adhere to the 18+ rating of this forum.

3. Your entry must be submitted with a bitem link. If you are uncertain as to how to link an item using the bitem code, check out this link: "The illustrated guide to linking"  [ASR]. If you are still uncertain, feel free to email me at Sara♥Jean and I will be glad to help you out.

4. You may only enter once every month.

5. Please make the title of your post Entry:Name of your Item, where, of course, you replace "Name of your Item" with the name of your item. This helps me distinguish the entries from the questions when it comes time to submit.

6. Only static items: short stories are eligible for entry.

7. Post Questions and Entries in the forum. We will answer your questions as quickly as we can.

8. Use of "substitutes" for the forbidden words will make your score lower. We will not disqualify you unless you use the exact words, but stories with substitute words for the forbidden ones will score lower than stories that exclude them completely, which is what we are looking for.

9. Your entry must follow the genre AND must not include the forbidden words. If you do not use the forbidden words in a genre different than what is posted, it makes it too easy. The whole point is to break the stereotype of that genre.

10. Have fun!
