MLK Writing Contest #1

Hey everybody! Welcome to MLK's first writing contest, the place where MLK's many writers will show us their best! Here's the skinny:




You will write a short story to answer one of the following prompts:
Write about Simba meeting another animal of your choosing in the Jungle.
Write about Kovu's training under Zira.
Write about Nala's flight from the Pridelands.


The target length of the story is 2000 words. This isn't a required length, however. If you can write a knockout story in 500 words, all the power to you. Similarly if you end up a few hundred words over you won't be disqualified. But please try not to go too far over 2000, since voters will be having to read all of these entries.

Obvious rules apply; you may not use a prewritten fanfic, you may not plagiarize, etc.

The deadline is July 20th. Please Private Message your entries to me. Don't post them here, as I'm keeping the stories anonymous in order to ensure fairness.

The winner will receive a victory bar from the lovely Flipmode and fawning adoration from the world.

Good luck to all, and if you have any comments or problems, please post them here! ^^

I personally do not think the entries need to be anonymous, all other MLK competitions run just fine with the entries just being posted. But if you would rather than then that is cool too ^^. Other than that though, I have already started on my entry and wish luck in advance to anyone who enters ^.^

I think voting works much better without names attached to work.

Awesome! I have started writing an entry. I haven`t written anything TLK-related in years, so it`ll be great to revisit that fandom. :D
