MLK Writing Contest #21!

[DGFone]

I wanted to get the contest out yesterday, but I was stricken with a cold these past few days, so here it is on a Monday again. But no more delays! I am hoping that this contest will be just as, if not more successful than the last. For two weeks, you will be able to write for one of these following prompts:

Simba leaving the Pride Lands
The first king or queen
Mufasa's greatest trial as king
Scar has cubs during Mufasa's reign

Because next Monday won't be a federal holiday, I'm just going to straight up right away make the deadline be on Saturday, September 21st. This is almost three weeks, but be careful: it's easy to miss the deadline!

When you finish with your story, just PM it to me, or send it via a PM attachment. Yes, I still edit those stories that are submitted as a mess to me (yes, I do define a big block of text as a mess), but I won't spend a long time editing stories to be readable when I create the voting topic. If I can't fix the problem with the enter key, then I probably won't do it. I find that Microsoft office formats don't transfer the best, but they are still quite reasonable.

Usual rules apply: The stories cannot exceed more than 4000 words, but need to be more than 1000. The other rules are the same: keep the stories PG-13, no plagiarizing off others, and don't submit something you already wrote previously for something else.

Good luck, and good writing!

Let me tweak some details.

I would have participated in the others but graduate school and working two jobs puts on a damper on the creative processes.

I've sent my entry I got bored during chemistry class earlier so instead of listening about rates and orders of reaction I came up with the idea for this story instead

Just realised the only other time I've entered is last October. Time goes so quickly these days...

Oh boy. That's fun stuff. I mean, I liked chemistry, but at the same time I'm kind of glad it's over since I took the AP version and we had, like, five or ten pages of homework most nights.

Anyways, I'm thinking of joining this one. I have a good idea set in my head. :p Let's see if I can get it onto paper.

That's what I feel like when I don't win the contests.

Okay, not really, but that't how I felt like for the last contest. I had a great idea which I really liked, but even as I was finishing it up for the contest, I knew that in terms of getting it into a written form, that I utterly blew it. And the 0 votes it got prove that while the idea might still have been good, I did a shoddy job of writing about it,

Guess I'll need to get started on my story as well.

Oh it is Haha, it's not too bad yet, but I'm not looking forward to the organic stuff If its in anyway worse than last year then I'm already doomed

And also, what is AP, exactly. Are they like A levels? Me no speak Americano

AP-advanced placement. I took English and history when I was in high school.
