It is time for Suicide Letter Round 2! :shakefist: This spanking good idea was thought up by Allyson, and there were a few people who wanted to enter, me included, but didn't get the chance, and now here it is! However, this time, the rules are slightly different:

- Write a suicide letter from someone to their love
- It must be set sometime between 1800 and 1900 in England and attempted to be written accordingly, without making it sappy or cliche.
- Entries would be preferred to be done on a word processer (such as Microsoft Word) and attatched to your post. If this isn't possible, than you don't need to - just put your entry in [spoiler][/spoiler] tags to take up less space.
- It doesn't matter what font or font size you use, as long as it isn't obnoxiously large or unreadably tiny. We don't want our judges walking around wide-eyed or cross-eyed for the rest of their life.

Judges are you guys. Yes, you. Whether you enter or not, you can still judge (and that includes me too - meaning I can enter). HOWEVER if you enter, you cannot just click your name because you want yourself to win. In fact, to be fair, you CANNOT vote for your own name. Now, I don't have some super-sneaky device that will make sure that you don't vote for your own name, but I do expect you honerable members to uphold your honerablness and be honerable to this rule.

All entries are due in this topic by August 31st
A poll will be put up to determine winners on September 1st.

Now... I'm pretty sure that covers it... entries, judging, due date - OH! - but of course! The Prizes!

:hug: Fourth place recieves I gigantic hug and a thump on the back.
:winner_three: A plate of chocolate-chip cookies if you are of the male variety because chocolate-chip cookies are just the manliest food on earth! If you are of the female variety you still get chocolate-chip cookies because they're just so darn delicious. And you also get a gigantic hug and a thump on the back.
:second_winner: A gigantic hug, a thump on the back, a plate of chocolate-chip cookies, and a marble cake.
:first_winner: A gigantic hug, a thump on the back, a plate of chocolate-chip cookies, a marble cake, and while you're eating, you get to enjoy a private BAND CONCERT!
:band1: :singing: :guitar: :guitar2: Complete with harp! :harp:

Ah, there we are. Now I am finished. Get onto writing!

I'm praying this isn't cliche or whatever, but this is my entry:

'People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff.
I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy...

...and I keep it in a jar on my desk.'

'Both Rowling and Meyer, they're speaking directly to young people...
The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer
can't write worth a darn. She's not very good.'

I'll go for the cookies. :P Your letter was nice! Or shall I say, deadly. A few of the sentences I thought were a little weird, but it was interesting about her mother. :)
