Contest time!
Inspired by 's and my latest obsession with Mary Sues (and creating some truly horrendous ones along the way), I now invite you to create the ULTIMATE PHAIL IN LITERATURE!
Ultimate fails in literature are noteworthy for an abundance of Mary Sues, bad form or meter or rhyme in poetry, terrible subject matter and are all around puke worthy. My Immortal is a perfect example of a literary Phail! Bad spelling and text talk are also great options (though for this contest, you're asked to keep in minimal so that we can read it). Surprisingly, literary phails are hard to do and will teach you some valuable lessons about writing, so with that in mind...
Rules:
Prose or poetry allowed--fanfic is welcome too! (please tell us what you're fanficking though)
It has to be readable, so please limit the text talk (though you can have some of course, such as LOL, OMG, OMFG and shorthand for 'two' and 'be')
Must have some sort of plot, even if it's pointless (in fact, the more pointless the better)
Prose must have a Mary Sue or Gary Stu (or both, lolz)
Poetry should not have a form, or if it does, it should be done sloppily
Please comment here or note me if you're entering so I know that you're doing it.
Deadline: May 31st noon Pacific Standard Time
Please note me with your entry with the subject heading-Literary PHAIL contest
Must be a new piece specifically for this contest
Winner will be chosen by myself and and will receive a free commission of any sort and will be featured in my journal and in a news article. Plus of course you'll get the infamous title of writing a Literary Phail!
Have fun folks!

When I Least Expect It....
Hi ho! After a long (wow, LONG) hiatus, I seem to have returned!
First thing's first (before my publisher beats me up), here are some links to my book, The Curious Case of Prince Charming:

Wow, been a while!
Favorites Shout-out!
I've been teaching nearly non-stop all summer; nothing creative has been getting done (unless you count several memorable lessons, lol), but that's life.
So here are some other works from deviants to enjoy :D I picked two per category because... you know, favorites!

Rewarded For Coming Back?
I actually have been writing a lot lately, but due to contract limits, I can't post much of it here (it's all to do with William Tenys after all!), which is why there's been a drop off 'round here again. But I have managed to do a few bits-a poem and an excerpt for an idea I had which I was going to tackle April Camp NaNoWriMo, but William got bossy again. (You'd think he'd have learned his lesson!)
I was pleasantly surprised when thanks to NamelessShe, I got a DLD for Strength in the All the Wrong Places. I'm not really sure it's worthy of the distinction-it was just something I thought up in the shower and scribbled in about fifteen minute
Curious Case of Prince Charming is in PRINT!
I know many people don't like e-readers. Heck, I have trouble reading things on a screen for too long; I get strained eyes and it's just not the same as curling up with a good book. So I'm happy to announce that The Curious Case of Prince Charming is now in print!

In other news, I got a contract job as an instructor :faint: I'll be working at the local job coaching center, helping people who have been on income assistance for a while, people who have been out of work for a while and people who want to imp

Sounds good, but it'll take some real effort to not write well.... Heh.... Coudl the plot be over-used? I'm assuming so.
