I feel the same way. But I'm looking for interesting contests with twists. Something that isn't pick a picture/song/quote/hipster couple/band couple.
I really like the costumes that used to challenge you to get your creative juices flowing, not to deliver a story specific to the contest creator's taste.
I mean, that's their right, they can do what they want. But there is a severe lack of originality in story contests. Even leaving the fan fiction/original fiction requirements aside.
Unfortunately, I'm turned off to both of those contests since they revolve around smut and other subjects/factors I'm not comfortable writing about. But thanks anyway.
