Rules
(be sure to read and follow them!)
1. ALL OF TESS' RULES APPLY.
2. There is no word limit! I'd like your stories to be at least around 400 words, but it's totally fine if you feel like a really really short story, or vice versa. As for the poems, feel free to make them as short or as long as you want! (I mean, they're poems.)
3. BE NICE TO EACH OTHER. I don't want to hear anything about how you should've gotten first place instead of someone else or you were cheated out of something because somebody did something. I will try to be as fair as humanly possible with the stories and the prize distributions! Just because you didn't get first/second/third place doesn't your story isn't awesome; it just means that I couldn't decide where to put your awesomeness.
4. Keep in mind, these are stories and not texts - so I would like to see at least a resemblance of proper grammar. For example, punctuation, quotation marks, spaces, capitalized letters, etc. etc.
5. You can enter up to four stories and/or poems. The number of poems/stories you've submitted doesn't affect the other, so you could do all eight poems and stories! Or if you want you could trade some of your stories for poems and vice versa. However, any more than four stories and four poems will be ignored (kinda. I mean, I'll probably still read them, they just won't be counted as legitimate entries), so keep that in mind!
That's all I can think of for now! If you have any rule suggestions then PM me please

If you could also find pictures of these stories, that would be great, because I think pictures lend a certain pizazz to these things, y'know? plus, if some people could send me trades marked with 'donations' of either pets or items, that'd be awesome. just try not to give me anything on my wishlist, 'cause then I'll want to keep it XD ALSO! If this is already a thing, I will stop posting on it immediately, I don't mean to copy anyone else's work.
Just to let everyone know, I might be entering some of these myself, in which case I'll need a judging partner! I'll ask for other people to judge if and when I decide to enter.
'Kay, that's all I can think of for now, first competition will be up in a few minutes!
