    This is a contest waiting for revival. For more information on Mibba’s Contest Revival and judging, please go here


    I decided to do something a little different and host a drabble contest. I've seen them becoming slightly more popular so I wanted to host one!

    Rules

    1) Choose a number, either under the picture or quote part (you can enter once in each category, but can only win in 1 category)*
    2) Should you choose a # in the quote section, I will message you the quote, but the picture will be a direct link so you can see BEFORE you choose your number.
    3) Max 10 entries per section
    4) Min. words: 50 Max words: 250**
    5) Link of the contest, picture or quote in the summary (You do not get points for doing this, however, you will lose points either from the title section or appreciation section if you don't include this).
    6) All Mibba rules and guidelines apply
    7) Fan Fiction is accepted
    8) Have Fun!

    *If you enter in both categories, you can only win in 1 of the 2 categories, the highest score will be the one that counts toward a victory. Entering in both, does increase your chance of winning a little bit, because I will have 2 entries to judge!
    **Due to the word limit, the quote does not have to appear in the Drabble, it simply has to inspire it.

    Deadline: August 19th, 2014
    Prizes:

    Scoring

    Total out of 110+ Total with bonus added= Average score on 110= final reduced score out of 100
    Title: 5 Points
    Content: 30 Points
    Development: 15 Points*
    Flow: 15 Points
    Interpretation of Quote OR Picture: 25 Points
    Emotional Merit: 10 Points**
    Appreciation: 10 Points

    Bonus Points

    Original Layout: 3-5 Points
    Unique names for characters: 3-5 Points
    Strong Summary(includes a great, smart and well thought summary of the story. It must entice me, to earn the bonus points): 3-5 Points

    *Development is going to be a really tricky aspect because of the word limit. It will be a challenge to complete a full story that is nicely developed, but that is the point of writing this drabble.
    **Emotional Merit is how much do you make me believe your chosen emotion. Am I able to feel what you intended?
    ***scores such as 8.3/10 can be given in this contest.****


    If this line appears across your entry it has been judged!

    Yes you can! :) The picture can be used in the layout, and if it is, it counts as an original layout, and that will allow you to get bonus points!

    Just to clarify, we're writing whatever the picture or quote inspires, right?

    That is correct, with a max of 250 words as a drabble. :) 25 of 100 points, is based on how well you managed to use the quote or picture!
