(Who needs readers, when, she will read and review your story, plus give points if she likes it XD! This is not a contest any of your own stories may be submitted for review.)

~Points for Fiction~

I've decided to give a certain amount of points to five fanfic authors everyday(excluding the weekend..I just can't guarantee i'll be around..)

At the moment I'm setting the amount at 100 points per fanfic, cause I currently have a competiton running that I need points for... obviously as the comp ends and I get more points the 'prize' is liable to go up.

Now here are the 'rules'

The story can be anything you have written; new or old

You can only submit one story every two weeks; fairness people.

Any rating, any topic as long as it's not necrophilia...i would prefer people keep 'he raped me now i love him stories' out as well...
please post warnings with your story in case others are reading them

The deadline will be nine o clock GMT(London) give me chance to read and pick. any submitted after this time will simply be counted for the next day ^_^

I will chose five everyday to give the points to and one of these five to give an additional amount to for just being that epic^_^

Script Frenzy

I just got an email from NaNoWriMo site, So I checked out what's going on and I thought I would share if anyone is up for the challenge. if this was posted already I'm sorry I haven't been stalking the forum that much, just reading mostly.

The challenge is to "write" a 100 page play, graphic novel, or series of TV script in a month. anyone up for the challenge?

Start: April 1
End: April 30

Good luck

Third Place - 5 000 points.
Participation - Not decided
Special prizes - Not decided

Willow's Personal Ads Writing Contest

End Date: May 10 midnight GMT-5
Prizes: 10,000 points per winning ad

I'm really in the mood to create a competition.
Whether it be here or on a hosting site (*coughweeblycough*). But honestly; I'm too embarrassed to hold it, I always need someone to back me up even though they won't do anything. XD

I was even considering have a host site for those competitions and win a Prize Banner or something. I mean.. I've read fics on ffnet.. and some are just amazing! Yet there was no recognition for them that I just KNOW they deserve.

.. I'll go now.

Tell me if you guys are ACTUALLY interested and want to help. (I'd be surprised if someone actually wants to)

Second Place - 20 000 points
Third Place - 10 000 points.
