Write Your Worst [Closed]

Elinor · 2013-08-20T21:31:21Z

Writing quality fiction is no fun. There are too many rules, too many people to impress, and most of all, too much pressure. It's the end of August, so why not just have fun and write the worst story imaginable? - There is no specific prompt or format for this except that it should be as bad as possible. Unoriginal, cheesy, cliched, you name it. - Max of 1000 words, no minimum. If you want to tell a story one sentence long, go for it. And while you'll PM your entries directly to me [no editing will be allowed] don't make deliberate grammar mistakes. Try to keep it as clean and easy to read as possible; if you don't it will count against you. - There will be one grand prize winner that will receive a secret prize and 2-3 runners up, depending on how much interest this gets. All winners will receive a certificate. Get writing! - Deadline September 7th

Can I still PM you with my submission? I made it today and saw that (maybe) this is closed... I am not really sure though

Yes the contest is over, but I'm sure Elinor wouldn't mind getting another horrible story... right?

I dunno whether to publish mine or not. It's pretty bad :/

Elinor, how putrid was mine?
