Best Beginning! (Ends March 25th)
Do you have a good first chapter or prologue to a story? Post it here, and I will review and find a winner! This is for the best beginning of a story--not just a short story!
I will have first and second place winners, and I will give each a critique on their contest entry.
Rules: Post a link to your story in this topic. Stories MUST be on POP. Any genre allowed--but no storybook beginnings. No artwork, unless it's a graphic novel beginning. NO R-rated stories, I will read anything that is rated G, PG, or PG-13. This contest will end March 25th, which is when I will read the stories. ONLY ONE ENTRY ALLOWED.
Any questions? Post them here, as well as your link!

The Immortals was good! Although I will admit that I liked #12 better than #1... and a few others. Still, they all get a gold star in my book.

Re: Best Beginning! (Ends March 25th)
Well I have a beginning of a story I'm writing, I'm almost 1/4 the way through at the moment and the beginning is really short, about 1000 words. I find it better that I do the rest of the story firs tthen come back to the beginning while I'm revising my work. I admit its not very good but unfortunetly its the best I have at present
I'll post it when I get your approval; you do things that no one wants then bam, in your face.

Most forums I go to I get flamed / suspended / banned without permission of posting something big or sometimes posting at all my opinions or thoughts or basically anything that involves me speaking

Re: Best Beginning! (Ends March 25th)
Thanks for the entries, but I do need more! I can't do this with just two... I may have to extend the contest length, or let people submit more than one. I'm not sure.
I've read both of the entries, and they're both very good.
