User blog:Zaffie/Story Competition!!!!

Ok, so I have decided to do a story contest. Anyone can enter. The deal with the story is that it must be at least 5 chapters, must be well punctuated and well spelt, and can only add one new character. The contestants will be given four characters to work with, because that makes it more fun, and they can add a fifth of their own. Each chapter must be from the point of view of a different character, and reasonably long. The adventure that the characters have is up to you to choose.

Please write at the top of the story that it is for "Zaffie's Contest", and also notify me of the title on this blog. Stories must be complete to be judged. Judging will begin in three weeks, on the last Tuesday of the month. I will need two volunteers to judge with me, but judges aren't allowed to enter.

Here are the four characters for you to work with. You will also be provided with the setting where they begin. This setting can be a dream, a hallucination, or real, but it is where your characters start the story.

Jelliphant is a kittypet she-cat. She has a beautiful fluffy white pelt, and large, sparkling blue eyes. She is pampered and lazy, and loathes the idea of doing anything outside her comfort zone. Her favourite pastime is breaking tom's hearts by claiming she will be their mate, then adding that she is only joking. She has never had a real mate or kits, was born as the only one in her litter, and is close to no cat.

Banana is a patchy yellow tom with bright amber eyes. While his pelt might not look so good, his eyes show everything that he is feeling. He has a kind heart, and longs to help others, but is often scorned for his appearance. He loves adventure, and secretly wants to look better, although he doesn't even admit it to himself.

Rubypaw and Amberpaw are siamese twins. They share one body, with each of them having their own head. Their body is a mixture of pale ginger and dark ginger, and they both have beautiful green eyes. Shunned by the rest of their Clan, and considered never able to become a warrior, they ran away as kits after being unable to take the teasing and stares any longer, and renamed themselves Rubypaw and Amberpaw in the hope that they would comfort themselves by feeling like apprentices. Rubypaw is quiet, sweet, and shy by nature, longing for someone to see her true potential and love her for who she is. Amberpaw is boistrous, eager, and impetuous. She was furious when her Clan leader wouldn't make her an apprentice, and vowed to try and find a way to remedy it.

The setting to start with is on a freezing cold plain covered with snow. There is no sign of life for miles around, and only the very tops of a few pine trees are poking through the snow. A long line of pawprints leads from the trees towards where the cat(s) are standing now.

Have fun guys!! Start writing as soon as you want!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!!
