December/January Writing Contest
Ok, due to the lack of nothing better to do, and to give you guys something "fun" to do here at this board, I've decided to start a writing contest.

Every month, there will be a new challenge that is TB series relared with different requirements(except for this one, since it's already December). You will e-mail it to me(I'll give you guys the address when I finally get the e-mail up), and I will read it and "grade" it.

I'll show you how the "grading rubric" works:

Originality/Creativity
70 possible points


Accuracy
10 possible points


Requirements met
10 possible points


Correct Use of Grammar
10 possible points



This is not fully based on who's story is better. That's why I made the rubric. I just personally think that if a story is written, and has a lot of mistakes grammar wise, then it shouldn't be chosen as the best. Plus, it gives everyone a fair chance in winning.

This Month's Challenge:


- A Townsend original character
- Setting: around Christmas
- Include a snow storm that covers Townsend Acres with snow
- Include a poinsetta plant
- Include a pregnant mare, who your original character has special bond with
- Include a fight



When e-mailing the story(e-mail to send to will later be provided), please attach it as a file(under Microsoft Word, Word Pad, or Notepad, all are fine ;) ), and title your e-mail 'December/January Writing Contest'.


This story will be due by January 15, and the winner will be announced January 31st. Winner will receive a graphic award. :)


Thanks and have fun!!!

~Angel



I can remember a place I used to go
Chrysanthemums of white, they seemed so beautiful
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth

I'd shut my eyes... to see

Re: December/January Writing Contest
sounds cool though i dun none if i'll try .......



Arabs, a way of life , when you feel the power you know you're there....




Things to think about....

Where did hamsters live before we put them in cages as a pet?

If Luke took a bath, would the water be lukewarm?

Why do British people never sound British when they sing?

Why is an alarm clock going "off" when it actually turns on?

If you mated a bull dog and a shitsu, would it be called a bullshit?

If you want, you can use my e-mail for the time being for the contest since you said you had no time to do anything on the computer. All you need to do is log into yahoo and sign in on my account. I trust you. :)

Just IM me if you want to do the above plan.

Why don't you try pictureperfect? It doesn't hurt to try!!! :)

If Dracula has no reflection, how comes he always had such a straight parting in his hair?

Don't you find it worrying that doctors call treating you their "practice" ?

Yea, you guys send your entries to Frost's e-mail. I'll get them from her. I just don't have the time to spend 20 minutes downloading and setting up a yahoo e-mail.

Hopefully I will during Christmas Holidays(18 days until I turn sweet 16!!!):D

It all comes together to make up one great sport and one excellent horse...
