Hello and greetings.! Welcome to TV Tropes third Troper Writing Contest! Want to show of your skills? Need to flex that creativity of yours? Here is the place for you to submit your story and let it compete with others to see who comes out on top. And even if you don't win you still get viewers and critique! So get that brain working and burn your keyboard, this is the Third Tv Tropes Writing Contest!

Rules:

• 2000 - 5000 words.
• Stick to the theme.
• Meet the deadline.
• Original work only.
• Whatever else we might think of later

This contest's theme is: Dreams

The premise is simple, or not so simple, depending on how much you effort you put into thinking about it. You have a person or persons who have their everyday lives doing whatever it is they do. Then you have their dream, that time in their sleep when their inner mind does whatever it wants. You will write about this let everyone see the subconciousness of your characters. What goes on in there is up to you and how/if they wake up is up to you. Will Alice have an adventure in Wonderland only to find that it was All Just a Dream? Will Neo find he's been living in a Dream Land all this time? Will your top keep spinning?

1. When you are finished with your work, post it on Free Text Host, an anonymous text-hosting service. It uses BB Code and you can assign administrator passwords for tweaking. Do not post your name anywhere in it! The judging process is blind!

2. Send a PM with the URL of your Free Text Host story to Freezair For A Limited Time. Freezair will pass the URL of the story on to all the judges. Your name will not be included since, as stated before, the judging process is blind.

3. When the submissions are done, UR Ls to all the stories will be posted here, and the judges will post their results when they're done here in the thread.

ME JOOIN FIRST!!!

I'm in! As soon as I finish my totem!

I'm down for this.

Same here chicos.

Would having the protagonist be a Dream Stealer / Dream Weaver (and using these powers readily) count for this contest, or does the main plot have to take place in a dream?

Wait, when is your next issue of Trope Report?

I'll participate. The theme has given me some interesting ideas to experiment with...

I'll be participating.

Ettina: The latter.

chihuahua 0: When it stops being a one man job.

All contestants have been added to the list. Do your best!

I'll be happy to do something minor to help with Trope Report.

Bring it up in the newsletter's thread.

No reason for me to say this was a good idea unless I participated too. Besides I'm out of practice.

Count me in.

Added.

I'll give it a whirl.

Welcome aboard.

I hereby throw my hat into the ring.

Is there any place I can read the stories once they're finished?

How come I have a feeling someone will try to pull something like Inception...

Bwahahaha...

Count me in, Coach!

I hope I can still join, writing about the mind, emotions, and dreams is one of my favorites.

Also...

So get that brain working and burn your keyboard, this is the Second Tv Tropes Writing Contest!

I thought it was the third?

/pedantry (which I apologise for wholeheartedly)

Added.

Gah, thats what happens when you copy-paste without paying attention.

I don't have time to write, but I can judge :P

I'm in.
