EDIT 3; I'm cancelling this contest due to how no one made a new entry for this. But I'll host another one and for participating , for the people who would've been the winners , I'll give 20 :points:s to one winner in each category and a llama for the rest. Sorry for the inconvenience. randomly chosen winner for making the journals will still receive the 6 :points:s. Thank you.


+winners+
>winner of randomly chosen journal is pjohootkc
>winner of category one is GuardianDragon1 Me and Pidge by GuardianDragon1! The memory you told me really touched my heart :)
>winner of category two is fireandrain97 Another day, another way to live your life! by fireandrain97! The photo is amazing and I read what memories you wrote :heart:
>winner of category three is ninquetari Memories of WinterDo you remember that day,
when we jumped between puddles
and sang in the rain?
The wind blew hairs all over the face;
We resembled Gorgons.
Later we argued what fate is
worse – or better – to have:
You chose immortality,
I was ruthless.
***
Years passed, and winter
has yet to come again.
***
I've always loved purple lightning
storms, strong and destructive.
We both know ruthlessness by now;
It has everything to do with mortality.
Do you remember that day?
We haven't spoken in too long.
I should call you.
You've moved on with your life,
and I'm still dreaming.
! The poetry you wrote is amazing and I loved it all. Congratulations ~

. THEME !.
Yes , there's a theme starting from November 4th, 2012 and I'll probably , NOT automatically, NOT choose anyone who didn't do this , before and especially after this . I think the contest was a LITTLE easy to win prizes from so I've established this . It's not that hard and some entries already have that . To tell you the truth , I've already hinted it here on this journal before . I want to see who's active or actually cares .. The theme is

MEMORIES

. If you're entering after I posted this , it better have a memory written in the description of your entry and/or in the comments . If not ... well , you can't enter . And that's it , I think that's fair enough .

CATEGORY 3; LITERATURE ENTRIES -

1] MMA Tactics HW - Enemy Assignment - #3Emily was in an old mansion with Shine. All of a sudden she heard a voice.
"I knew you'd come. I'm so happy to see you" said a voice from behind the curtain. They were in a room that looked like a theater, or auditorium. The seats were folded up against the walls. No one had been here for years. Except, Emily suspected it of being Lord Al-Kodar's HQ.
"I know that voice," Emily called out. "And I don't like it." Lord Al-Kodar came out from behind the curtain.
"Were you looking for me?" He asked, in an all knowing way.
"As a matter of fact," Emily said "we were."
"We?"
"Shine is here as well."
"That little pixie toy" Lord Al-Kodar smirked.
"She's a fairy and she's my mascot" Emily growled.
"That pathetic thing is your mascot?" Lord Al-Kodar started laughing. Emily's face turned red. Lord Al-Kodar started mumbling through his laughter. Emily knew it was a spell and immediately pressed her ring. The music filled her ears and the transformation began. Magical smoke in an array of colors swi
MMA Alchemy HW - Underwater Potion -"Wow. Classes underwater. Now that's exciting!" I tell Blood, my new best friend.
"It sure is," Blood replies.
After a little more walking, we stop.
"This is where we part," Blood says.
"Bye."
"Bye."
Blood turns, and I continue straight. She's in Aqua House but I'm in Sun House. I
don't know why, but I'm the only one in Sun House. When I finally get to Sun House, I
plop down on the nearest bean bag chair. Aya and Arya stop playing and come snuggle with
me. Since I'm the only one in Sun House, I let them out of their cages during the day.
Shine sits on my shoulder. After seven minutes of relaxing, Shine clicks her little heels.
"What?," I ask.
"Time to start on HW."
"Already?" she glares. "Alright." One reason I'm such a good student is because
Shine makes sure I work to my full potential.
I take out my bag with my supplies and go to the potions room. It isn't really
that, but everyone in Sun House uses those fires for potions. I put the cauldron on the
fire and take out the rest of the

3] (Contest Entry?) Wait For MeMy heart thumped hard in my chest like a wild-fire, and that ecstatic feeling rushed through each and every of my veins, as a slow but steady figure padded each foot-step beyond the cruel crashing waves that taunted their anger within each thrash. Her steps were slow and quiet, as she walked bare-foot in the ankle-height shallows, enjoying the feel of the soft wet sand under her feet while it lasted.
Each heartbeat slowly came after the next. My mind was a mess. Who was this girl? Why was she so vaguely familiar? Her smile, her face, her sweet soothing voice...it made no sense to me. It seemed like I had met her before, even if that memory was already plunged into the darkness like all the others.
At last, in all her small gentle footsteps, the lady had reached the shore. She lifted the helms of her soft gentle dress, and dropped them once more, careful not to let them touch the water. Everything she did was of gentleness and grace. It appealed to me, even if I tried desperately to hid
LightbulbI wish I could turn my lightbulb off,
So you can't see my glow at night,
And see another ruddy light,
And travel with the flow.
But IF I turn my lightbulb off,
How would I know you'll stay on track?
Untill I know you're coming back,
And away your heart will flow.
Why won't you turn my lightbulb on?
Why not in a cold harsh winter night?
Take my hand and follow the light,
And travel with the flow.
So come and turn my lightbulb on,
Let's spend the cold harsh night together,
And in our hearts, we'll shine forever,
Tonight our worries go.

4] Mama! A Lord of the Rings fanfictionThis is my first oneshot and I'm going to warn you at the beginning…it's a sad one. I know, most people don't like that kind, but I couldn't not write this. It was too powerful and moving to keep in my head. If you've already read "An Eternal Bond" then you'll remember when Isthey is asking Shagrat about his parents and Shagrat says his mother died. Well, this is how it happens. It also explains how he got the necklace that he shows Isthey right before they figure out they're brothers. Ooh, that brings me to another reason I just HAD to write this…it's my first fic with Shagrat as a baby. Before he was kidnapped and sold to Mordor. But that's another story. Now, enough rambling from me and on with this story.
Mama!
No child should ever have to see their mother die.
Shagrat ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. He could hear the sounds of the Men gaining on him, and he wished for all it was worth that he was just a bit bigger, or

5] Selfy Entry: A Princess's Day"Miru, you are late for breakfast." called her palace maid.
"Just give me a break, will you? Miru grumbled as she tried to straighten her hair. "I hate my hair" she grumbled again.
"Miru, the king will be mad, you are always late for breakfast" the maid sigh as she helped Miru to straighten her hair.
"Thanks, what is the dress of the day?" Miru asked.
"This purple lilac dress you wore only for a few times, your highness" answered the maid while holding up a beautiful gown.
"It's ok, I guess," Miru said as she quickly dress up and hurried to the dining hall.
****
"Oh dear! Princess Miriane Lucy Silverleaf, where on earth have you been?" demanded Queen Fiona when Miru came into the dining hall, panting. "Luckily your father is yet to be here, otherwise he'll be angry!"
"Sorry mother, I was up late today, please accept my deepest apology" Miru bowed as she takes her seat near her sisters.
"Miru, Miru, always late" teased the second sister, Princess Marianne.
"Sister, she apologized, don't

6] An Unnamed PoemA tiny girl
Walks through the tall grass
To a swing gently blowing
In the breeze,
And she settles down into it.
She swings
Back and forth
Back
And
Forth
A small boy
Spies the tiny girl
And finds a swing next to her,
And he settles down into it
And he swings
Back and forth
Back
And
Forth
Time wore on this way until
The girl grew into a young woman
Beautiful.
And the boy grew into a fine young man
Handsome.
They each loved one another dearly
With every last piece of their
Hearts.
But neither spoke a word of it
To the other,
In fear that they did not feel
The same.
Was it always to be this way?
She was lost in love,
But could not say.
And he felt for her
But knew she couldn't feel the same.
They grew and saw
Something different
There was a...
A
      Glimmer
In her hazel eyes
A
      Glimmer
In his crystal blue eyes
Each one knew then
And no words passed between them.
There was a maturity there
That had not been before,
A shin
