I've been talking with Ansatsusha_Gouki about doing another contest. I enjoy the dark side. I don't know, it's just me. Payback or revenge stories and movies always seem to get my juices flowing. Revenge is definitely something that would be a good start for people. Revenge is a dish best served with icicles dangling from the plate. Served as slowly and as deliberate as the creeping fog; with the care and precision of a surgeon. Some of my favorite movies are revenge movies, payback movies. Movies like: The Count of Monte Cristo, Gladiator, Kill Bill, Unforgiven, Sleepers.
The best revenge stories have the protagonist sufferings bringing forth a side of them that up to this point lay dormant. Vowing to no longer play the victim, the protagonist strikes back in a way that allows them to take back the power from an oppressor. Though the tables will never be even, their act of vengeance gets it close enough.
Payback is a bitch.
I want to set you a story where you have the utmost freedom with the only concrete factor being revenge of sorts. This story can be personal, your own "Horrible Bosses," or it can be complete fantasy. I only ask that the story be of your own imagination. No fan fiction. No conscious rip-offs of any movies, or books. 3000 word limit, not including the title.
I know you guys are busy as I am, but fuck it. Let’s do this damned thing. I'm on Spring Break for the next week (I have a paper due in Honors English 1020H on 20 March), and I know spring break is coming up for many of you who are still in school. Let's do this
Theme: Revenge - Give us your best payback story.
Length: 3000 words max. I mean it.
Deadline: Sixteen days from today, March 25. I know some of y'all are in school, plus work as I am, so 16 days is enough time to put something together, edit and proofread it sufficiently)
Prize: Highest scoring story gets a free year membership to BGOL paid by yours truly. In the event of a draw between two stories we'll hold a vote on just those two stories. Whichever one gets the highest score wins the free year membership.
Revenge themed, I don’t care where you go with it, really, just as long as it is a revenge story.
Rules:
No fan fiction. The biggest and best part of story writing is coming up with YOUR OWN idea. If you take an idea that someone else had and expound upon it that is cheating.
So please, if you join this contest, use your own stuff. Even if you ask your kid brother, niece or nephew for an idea and write about that, that is cool. Kids have the damnedest imaginations. Just don’t take something that is already written or drawn and turn that story into your own story.
3000 words. I upped it from the past contest of 2500 simply because it is so difficult to fit the details that make a story good into 2500 and I always had mine over and had to cut the pieces off of my baby hurt like you wouldn’t believe. I know all writers feel the same. 3000 is the limit, and votes will be removed for every word over the limit
3001-3100 = 1 vote removed
3101-3200 = 2 votes removed
So don’t go over the limit. This is just for fun. An internet contest for BGOL bragging rights.
If you are interested in joining, PM me or post it here.
Are you in? I’m looking for as many contestants that want to join to come, represent. Let's get it on
