Heads or Tails?		Rated: 13+
A contest open to Helping Heart members only. Great prizes up for grabs!
by: Gothic Angel is feeling sick	This item has no ratings.

Welcome Helping Heart members.

This contest has been designed to encourage all Helping Heart members to work together as a team. I think it is of the upmost importance to have a maximum streaming of communication between members and a level of respect for each others different styles whether this be in regards to writing or reviewing.

How will this happen?

Group members must pair up in teams of two and register their team in the forum.
Once a team has registered they are locked into participation and must follow through with the contest. In the event they do not, one or both team members will be disqualified from entering the next round.
As the rule goes: Three strikes and you're out!
If any group member fails to complete the contest three times after registration they will be disqualified permanently from the contest and therefore miss out on the opportunity to win great prizes and forge stronger friendships within the group.

Once registration has occured I will roll virtual dice for each team. The highest and lowest numbers will decide which person is to take Heads and which person will take Tails.

A random prompt will be given which will apply to all teams. It may be a theme, a sentence or a paragraph that you will have to follow...You will not know for sure until the registration period is over.

The person who receives the Heads position will begin the story, keeping in mind not to exceed a 500 word count. Once complete, the person must then hand the story over to the 'tails' person and they must write the ending, also keeping in mind not to exceed a 500 word count.

Team members are not to help, hinder or interfere with sections which are not assigned to them. This is an activity to observe how well you are able to creatively adapt! I want to see versatility!

Before writing the story, the writer must display their handle at the beginning of the item. When the second person takes over they must also display their handle to make it easier for the judges to determine which efforts were made by which people.

Once complete, the story in its entirety must be posted into the forum for judging using the bitem format.

RULES:

1. Teams must register in the forum to enter.
An entry fee will not be charged but in order to qaulify for registration both team members MUST make 1 review off the Helping Heart order board and feature the links in their registration post.

2. Head members are not to interfere with the creation of Tail sections and vice versa.

3. Each individual portions are not to exceed 500 words or they will be disqualified.

4. Handles of the writers must be displayed at the beginning of their section.

5. Rating restrictions will not be implemented but all forum posts must not exceed a 13+ rating or they will be disqualified.

6. All entries are to be posted in bitem format into the forum. If for some reason you are unable, please let me know and we may be able to work something out.

7. The item must strictly follow the prompt you are given. If it does not it will be disqualified.

PRIZES.

Only one team will be chosen to win.
The winning team will receive the following hamper:

A merit badge of my choice.
A signature of their choice from "BITS AND PIECES" .
A Crown Clown package from "Cute Anime Treasures Shop" .
A 10K awardicon to the winning item.
A permanent position within the hall of fame for both the creators and the item.

Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. DO NOT post your questions into the forum. This space is for registration only at this time.

I wish you all the best of luck and I hope to see many teams enter.
