Okay, so I was listening to some songs and thinking how nice a story would be if it were made with the song in mind. Then since I can't write all that, I thought, what if I held a contest!
How to enter: Just post here telling me if you want to or not ^_^
How it works: I will give you a song to write a short story too. It will be a lyric video from youtube so I want you to give your short story meaning that kind of follows the gist of what the songs saying. You can also say what the song means to you through your story, if you feel sad or melancholy or whatnot. You can request a genre of music or an artist if you like, because I really don't want you writing to a song you absolutely hate O_O That would be cruel and unusual punishment.
Rules: You cannot work with anyone else unless you enter the contest together or receive aid from another member.
Do your best at grammar and originality of your story or else points will be deducted
Just post the work in your portfolio and PM me the link. I will then review it and tell you your points earned.
What's in it for you:
Gold medal - you may chose anything you want from the list at the bottom.
silver medal - 2 reviews of your choice or however many points you want under 500 (I don't want to give you a life time supply or more than I have)
bronze medal - a gift, 300 points, or 1 review
This is where you try to beat yourself. So no matter what everyone wins and you get an automatic review from me ^_^ Also this way people can have enough time. This will last until I mark it as locked which will be a while O_O XD Take as long as you like.
List of prizes:
1. write a collaborative short story with me
2. 2-4 choice reviews
3. 500 points
4. anything you can think of that doesn't break the rules and that I'm willing to participate in.

@FatCowsSis - Sure thing about the cussing ^_^ I prefer not to listen to songs that cuss so much your ears bleed. I think I found a nice soft one for you with no cussing. Also to submit just publish it on YWS and as for getting me the link that's up to you ^_^
Your song is Mad World by Gary Jules. If you don't like it feel free to ask for another :D

@GriffinClaw - You're song is Monster by Skillet. The music video is shifty but it has a point in the end, also there is no cussing! ^_^
@ERZA - You're song is Yellow by Coldplay. There isn't any cussing here either just in case you were wondering.
If either of you wants a different one feel free to ask.

@OliveDreams - I'm not sure if this is romantic, but it sure does have that sound to it ^_^ it's called The A-Team by Ed Sheeran. If you don't like it feel free to request another, I just felt that this fit that sound most and had deep meaning :D Hope you like it too.

I think that was when I began to realize that reputation isn't everything. I should focus less about how others perceive me and more about what makes me happy. Because, in the end, I have to live with myself.
