box#  one: winter             » Theme: W i n t e r  Since it's that time of the year :)  What are the feelings and emotions associated with winter? What is winter? Although you don't have to answer these essential questions, you can use these questions to give you ideas and stimulate thought.    * For those who didn't know: each box is a round. ___________________________________________________   » Prompts:   “I'm Cold as Ice” - It's Cold by: Epik High ft. Lee Hi


"Whenever she turned her steep to focus on me, I felt the warmth that flowers must feel when they bloom through the snow, under the first concentrated rays of the Sun."

- Janet Fitch, White Oleander

"The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow. Be careful how you treat it because every step will show."
- Unknown


"Winter came down to our home one night. Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow, and we, we were children once again." 

- Bill Morgan, Jr. 

"Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories."

-From the movie An Affair to Remember 

“A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.”

- Carl Reiner


“I was happy in the dream; but when I woke up it was with a feeling that I was falling apart, that I was cracking up from the inside and slowly falling to pieces. My heart was jumping and grating like a cold engine that doesn't want to start. My skin was crawling, and I couldn't manage a single clear thought. It was as if all my thoughts were crushed to bits just as they began to take shape. I didn't get much done that day.”

- Ninni Holmqvist, The Unit 

"One kind word can warm three winter months."

- Unknown

“Winter is much like unrequited love; cold and merciless.”

- Kellie Elmore

“Then she smiles, like it's the first time she's seen sun, after a decade of winters.”

- Emma Cammeron, Cinnamon Rain

Chapter 8: That's really nice of you to try and figure out a solution for this. I'm okay with having my entry Winter Angel (http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/368305/) moved to your other contest, if that's okay. Thanks again and take care.

Chapter 1: Thank you for taking responsibilities and I do hope you could hear from your friend soon for things to be easier for you. I would like for my entry (Through Winter's Voice) to be judged in the Easy Going Writing contest, if that's fine with you. Thank you!

Chapter 8: Knowing that you're sorry and want to take a responsibility on what happened is enough. Although there was time when I was a bit pissed off truthfully. If you want to judge 'White Snow' please do so. If you don't want to, then it's okay by me.
I don't really care as in I'm not angry but good luck to you... there are a lot of people....pretty angry here. Really good luck to you and fighting!

Chapter 8: I don't know what happened to study_xd also but it's great that you're trying to take responsibilities. I would still like my story "infinitum" from box 1 to be judged, thank you!

Chapter 7: Agree with what was said below. I wanted to participate in your contest so I tried to make something up with the little time I had, and that only to see that you guys get on hiatus a little after. Even opened a box 2 before annoucing the winners. That was not only a lack of responsability and respect from your part but also could be called cheating. In my opinion you could try to fix box 1 first by asking here who wanted their story to be on the contest and be judged (that way u could shorten the candidats by those who arent online anymore), at least at first. Creating a new contest is not much of a solution, you should compensate others by your fault (note that the 'your' is not especifically you but the you as a whole, all the responsibles for the contest).

Chapter 7: Understand where you're coming from and honestly, I feel bad that you're getting the backlash from what study_xd abandoned. But I do agree with Tigress' point of view below. Starting a new contest doesn't exactly resolve anything around here, even if you do allow the contestants here to just transfer their stories over to your new contest. Box 1 ended more than a year ago and box 2 was started but abandoned without even posting up the stories submitted. I guess the least you could do would be to post up box 2's entries to at least give the authors some credit for the time they spent on their entries.
I'm not really bothered about the prizes or judging around here since I've accepted how this, like many other contests, are just discontinued. But it'll be great if you could just wrap up over here for the sake of the dissatisfied authors~ All the best though, in this and school :)

You have 260+ subs on this alone... there is a responsibility to you to close this contest and reward those who wasted their time participating. I am not bashing you, I understand that things fall through. But just make it up to people in the right way, not in some new contest.
Good luck in everything.

Chapter 2: Honestly I understand that this was not your contest and you simply signed up to help judge. I'm sorry that your coauthor copped out on you. I DO have some advice to give, though.
The prizes were to be karma, subscribes, and upvotes, yes? No offense, but starting a new contest does nothing for those of us who wrote a story over a year ago, sorry but it is the truth. What WOULD be nice for the contestants of Box 2 is if you were to go through (and since I understand that you are the CO-author and not the one who dropped the ball, I won't say karma, though honest to goodness study_xd should give every contestant 50 karma for the loooong wait) but YOU should go through and subscribe and upvote their stories. At the VERY least do so to their contest one!!! You owe it to the former contestants for this huge disappointment.
Truth be told I am not talking for myself. I don't care if you subscribe or upvote my story, I already considered this contest a fall through. But to the 12 other contestants that I came across browsing through the comments here, you really do owe it to them, co-author or not.
