Group-Sponsored Make Us Cry Contest

Group-Sponsored Make Us Cry Contest

Details

Deadline:Feb 21, 2015
Fee:Free

We want your tear-jerking, heart-rending stories. Plots with heart-tugging, emotional stories, requiring multiple hankies. The stories that emphasize crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship, strained familial situations, tragedy, or emotional and physical hardship within everyday life.

Do your best to bring tears to our eyes and have us bawling like babies.

These do not have to be pieces that end sadly, but they do need to have that moment or an underlying theme that will touch our hearts. These can be about anything and everything.
