Dream Stories Awards 2016 | ON HOLD

Rules and regulations

Hello amazing people from Wattpad! My name is Daniela but please, call me Dany, I will be judging your amazing stories being as honest and as constructive as I can! I will warn you though, I am very strict and I will tell you every single thing running through my head, even if it hurts, but please know I only mean to help you improve!

So, I decided to start this contest because A) I am on spring break and I get a lot of free time, B) I am simply bored, C) I want to read a lot of knew stories and D) I want to get a small chance to help those unknown authors such as myself to get more reads!

So, let's move forward with the rules and the form to submit your amazing stories to this amazing (-ly unknown) contest!

Rules:

1. I must admit I lied, there is a maximum of stories you can submit, and if you read my bio (which you must definitely didn't) then you'll know there is a maximum of five stories per account, but I'm sure that's more than enough, and if it's not then we can easily arrange it to more stories, but I doubt we get into that.

2. I beg of you, I want to make this funny and nice for everyone, so don't be rude, any sign of bullying and stuff will be the cause of the denial (that's not quite the word I wanted to use, but it's the only one that crossed my mind) of your submits. Am I being perfectly clear? O.o

3. Your stories can be any genre, but I hope with everything inside me to get non-sexual stories, since well, I don't enjoy that kind of stuff, I am not judging you, YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR STORY EVEN IF IT INCLUDES SEXUAL CONTENT just please warn me in your form, I beg of you, I want to be prepared before I read.

4. Your story must be at least three chapters long (ten if it is poetry) including prologue (except short stories of course) because those are the chapters I will be reading unless I enjoy it too much, if I do I will comment your story letting you know I will finish it, but again, I am very strict so be prepared.

5. I want one of the elections to be people's choice (there will be another one where judges, including myself will vote and get a winner of each category), so I will make a second book filled with my reviews and you will be able to vote for the stories ever since I post the reviews. You know how to vote, just click on the "vote" button and done. YOU CAN VOTE MORE THAN ONCE with a maximum of ten votes, then the five stories (of each category/genre) with more votes will go to a second round, but I'll explain the rules for that when the time comes. I hope I don't need to remark the obvious, but please, don't vote for your own story.

6. You can submit your story until August 7th, after that date NO MORE ENTRIES WILL BE SUBMITTED, you've got plenty of time to submit your stories, but if you feel it's not enough then leave a comment explaining why and I might reconsider changing the date.

7. For your entry to be accepted you must be following the Dream Stories Awards account and (this is optional, but I'd be sincerely thankful if you did) our personal accounts valim_daniela , klutzymuskie , books_by_New and CookooKimya .

8. Add this book (and all of the other DSA books) to your PUBLIC reading lists to A) help this contest get more famous, that can benefit your stories too, so do it and B) to make sure you receive all the notifications in case there is a change of dates or rules, etc.

9. Please put JUST ONE GENRE in your form, since one story can only be in one category, and categories will be genres, so don't put stuff like: romance/action/sci-fi because I will get confused and YOUR ENTRY WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, so choose carefully and wisely.
