Emotional writing contest

Emotional writing contest! 

Okay, so I haven't seen one of these in awhile, and I was like what the heck I need some inspiration from my fellow writers so why not make a writing contest? 

Alright, so we need judges. I am unreliable so that's why people are becoming judges. We can have 1-3. You guys can figure out a way to discuss the story lines properly and such together, if you want to do more then one judge. If not, that's fine too, easier for the judge. 

Any who, this ain't no ordinary contest. That's right, this is going to be a hard one. And on going. So, let me explain. 

The themes will be emotions. So whoever portrays the selected emotion the best wins. Ah, but, you have to make the reader feeeel this emotion. Joy, sadness and fear are easy ones. We can start off with one of those if you like. As we go along, I'll have people pick the trickier ones. As in surprised, disgusted, angry, etc. The winner of the previous round will be the judge or one of the judges if they like, and will pick the next emotion. 

Okay, of that was confusing, lemme try again. I'll pick an emotion. The one who best portrays that emotion, and makes whoever reads it feal that emotion the best, wins. You guys can pick the first judge/judges. Whoever wins picks the next emotion, and can either pick the next judges or become a judge him/herself and has the option to pick some others.

I might join in this first one, but maybe not, life Is unpredictable. Oh, the due date for this writing is a week from Wednesday.

Let me or the judges know if that's not enough time! 

First theme is....

Sadness! 

Ready set write! Whosoever makes me cry wins a gold star!

I'd like to participate! If a piece didn't turn out the way you wanted, would you be able to post a second piece to replace it? Is there a deadline?

Shy peacock, you are the judge! Anyone else can be another judge if they want, or you can be a solo judge. 

No, there is no word limit. You can post something else if your first story doesn't come out as you like! Also, idk when the deadline is, it's up to how fast you all can get these in, and the preferences of the judges.

I have a poem,  but I don't think the admins will let me post it. Admins, could you so kindly allow my poem to be posted? Reply if you don't mind. 

If you submit a poem in a comment, we'll review it for posting. Be sure to indicate that you wrote it.
