| Welcome to Our Writing Contest!
Try to win some awesome prizes!
In order to celebrate the opening of the Writing Chat, Maeve and myself decided to begin a 3-week-long writing contest! You can enter in daily drabbles, weekly shorts, and the main attraction: Your absolutely perfect Mary Sue/Gary Stu! The contest will run from 6/27/10-7/17/10 so there are plenty of chances to win. Tons of prizes will be given out and Maeve and I will be around to chat, so let's get started. ^^
Concerned that I neglected the roleplay and haiku contests? Check the announcements later this evening.

| Prom King & Queen
Write the most blatant Mary Sue and/or Gary Stu that you can think of!
This contest will last throughout the entire competition. You may submit one entry for Prom King and one for Prom Queen in the submission thread.
I'm sure we've all heard these terms before: Mary Sue and Gary Stu. They're characters with virtually no flaws who are often avatars for the author. Seeing a character like this is like a red flag for bad writing, so obviously this contest is just for kicks.
Write about the biggest Mary/Gary that you can imagine and submit it! You may use previously existing characters, as long as it's your own work. You may also write in whatever way you wish, but please keep all entries 5000 words or less.
We will judge all of the entries and choose a first, second, and third place for the Mary and Gary category. Each of these will all receive prizes for their placing. The two first place winners will move on from there for a chance at even bigger prizes. They will compete one-on-one via roleplay or collaborative story for three days. After a final winner is decided, all prizes will be handed out.

| I'm working on the short story one right now! I'm not the best when it comes to cyberpunk or crime, but I've been wanting to write this for quite some time now.

I don't know how to do that, and I don't want to risk ruining anything because Cat isn't around. D:

| I'm working on the short story one, but I'm not exactly sure what would be defined as "crime".

| Yeah, I'm not gonna give away too much, but my story centers around drugs.
How would that count?
