I've noticed that all the contests in this subforum are contests of skill, judging the best of the best. I decided to exercise my...strange sense of humor and put all other contests to shame.

Thus, the Worst Story Ever Contest. I want you to tell me a story, but not just any story. The most horrible, cliched, Sue-ist story you can bear to put on paper. The beautiful and lovely ~[+Exit+]~ and I will be judging, and in this thread, our word is law. 3nodding And you have to listen to Rednal too, because he's just awesome like that.

I must ask you now to please, please, please read these first few posts. Thank you, come again.

Rules for Entry
1. Your story must be between 1,500 and 20,000 words.
2. You must write in English, and by that, I mean correct English. Your story should be bad based on its content alone. I will not accept netspeak entries. You have a spell-checker. Use it.
3. Include as many cliches, Mary-Sues, Gary-Stus, same sounding characters, etc. as you can. Click here for inspiration.
4. Entry fee? What entry fee? That's right, this is a free contest.
5. Post your entries in the thread. Do not PM them to me.
6. Use this form for posting:
[code:1]Gaian username:
Title of Story:
Story Rating (G, PG, or PG-13):
Would you be willing to accept comments on this story from other users of the thread?
Is your story crap?
Your Story:
[/code:1]
7. The deadline for this contest is September 30.
8. The judges' word is final. +[~Exit~]+ and I will be judging this contest. If you aren't happy with how your scored (or didn't score), too bad.
9. I'm going to ask that you do not submit fanficition, simply because I am unfamiliar with nine out of ten fandoms. Thanks.
10. I killed the codeword, since near no one saw it. I admit it was rather hidden.

Rules for Thread
I wouldn't mind if people commented on others' work, or just chatted with me while keeping the thread on the front page. However, I will lay down some rules for this.
1. Obey the ToS. Duh.
2. Please do not flame. This includes telling someone their story sucks (that's the point, isn't it) or telling someone that they suck.
3. Only comment on stories that the author gives permission to comment on in the form.
4. If you bring cookies, you must share them.

Bloodlist
This is the list of those people who repeatedly disobey submission guidelines and thread rules.

I sincerely hope to not have to use this, but it might as well be here just in case.

Dear lord. I've no idea if I'd be able to pull something like this off. It's kind of like typing in chatspeak when you only type the correct way. It makes your brain hurt from the strain. I'll consider it and then make sure I have a bottle of aspirin at hand.
