Finalist's stories will be read and voted on. Three will be picked as winners.

So I get a lot of people asking me if I can read their stories. Sadly I can't say yes to everyone, or I would read all day and nothing else and I need to do other things occasionally, like eat.

But I feel crappy when I have to turn you guys down, which is why I have the "Read My Story Contest" every month. Without further adieu....

Contest Rules

How do you enter? It's simple:

1.) Follow the blog. A lot of you already are, so you can skip that step if that's the case. If not, make sure you follow because anonymous comments aren't allowed. You should be able to sign up with your email.

2.) In the comments section underneath this post, write the name of your story, a short description of what it's about, and your wattpad username. DON'T forget your username or I may not be able to find your story! And then I'd be sad.

3.) The contest doesn't end until Friday, May 3rd. You have lots of time to think up a cool sounding description to your story.

How It Works:

-On or after Friday, May 3rd, I'll be picking EIGHT winners out of the comments, based on what stories I think sound the most interesting.

-I will read and vote on the first two chapters (or six pages, whichever comes first).

-Out of the eight I will pick THREE winners.

Prize Winners:

-Prize winners get a critique on their story (if they want one).

-I will be reading, voting and commenting.

-A message about the winners goes out to all followers/fans.

-The winner's will be featured on my profile, along with links to their profiles.



Questions:

Can I enter my fanfic/poem/short story?

Yes, anything goes.

Can I enter something that isn't finished yet?

Absolutely.

Why eight winners? Isn't that kind of a weird number?

Yes, because ten was too many and five isn't enough. I'm weird like that.

My story isn't as good as some other people's, how can I win?

Story choices will not be based on grammar or spelling. Points for creative plot ideas, interesting characters and an intriguing beginning.


Leave your entry in the comments, and please let me know if you've got any questions. Good luck!

Wattpad Draw

Okay folks! I've been promising a draw as soon as I hit 1000 wattpad fans, and I just did! Yay! Below you will find a breakdown of the contest and the rules.

Prizes

1) A cameo appearance in Frost or Weaver. 

2) Alice's charm bracelet, handmade by yours truly. 

3) A review (and comments) of the first three chapters of the work of your choosing, and a shout out about said work to all my readers.

Rules

Cameo Appearance: You will not be a main character. You will have a few lines, interact with the characters and then probably not pop up again too much. Since this book isn't for sale, I can use your real first name if you want. No last names. You may provide a description (it can be you, or what you'd like to look like, haha). Again, I repeat: You won't be a main character, but you'll have a few good interactions and be able to see yourself in print!

Alice's Charm Bracelet:

Alice's charm bracelet is made with good quality charms and chains. It's complete with moon, anchor, interlocking hearts and key charms. If you win it and decide you don't like it, that's tough. It's free, I'm sending it to you at my expense. 

Review and Recommendation: 

This is a one time thing only. I don't make recommendations for people when they ask, just to make that clear. I do however, do first chapter critiques when people ask. This is more than that, I'll comment on the first three chapters (if you want a critique, or just positive reinforcement, let me know) and then send a message to the readers. There is no guarantee this will get you reads though, it's up to the readers if they want to go check you out or not. That's out of my hands.

How to Enter

You must be a member of this blog. Some of you already are. If you're not, simply click on the "Join this Site" button. It's the blue button at the top of all the member's pictures. You should be able to join if you have an email address. If it's giving you troubles ask a friend or a parent. You can sign up for "google connect" if it's easier for you to join that way. This is simply a network that allows you to sign up for blogs and connect with people on twitter.

To enter the contest, simply join the blog (or sign in if you already have) and comment on this post. You don't have to say anything clever. Just say you want to win, or make up a little haiku about how amazing I am. Just kidding! Just comment on this post and I'll put your name into a hat and pick three names a week from now! Yay!

Questions:

I can't join the blog, but I really want to enter the contest!

Sorry! If I just enter your name on the "sly" for you, it isn't fair to the other people who have entered. I'll probably be holding more contests later, one that doesn't involve the blog, so hold out for that!

Can anyone enter? Any country?

Anyone and everyone! And the country doesn't matter!

I'm a boy. I'm not really big on the charm bracelet.

Although there is a first, second and third, they aren't set in stone for the prizes. The first place winner will get to choose between the three prizes. Then the second place will choose from the remaining two.

Any more questions? Just ask in the comment section below!
