Round 5 – Results (kind of)

So, if you’re playing our subgame on facebook, you know that everyone passed through to this round because I took my two entries out and moved the bottom two up.

So, contestants, add your next line please.


  1. CHIME, YA Sci Fi says:

    Nicholas skidded into the kitchen, sliding on his socked feet. “Why’d you have to tell, Chime? You leave your throwing stars in that drawer.”

  2. Hell's Paradise - Romance, Other says:

    Ghost had grown accustomed to the shadows.
    Living in darkness had become a haven and a prison sentence.
    His job was to stop bad things before they happened to good people. He protected the innocent, even if it meant sacrificing himself, even if that made him a not so nice person, even if it was the reason he was away from her. He’d saved her or she’d saved him – how didn’t matter because there was truth in both their versions. She’d made him feel and it became her biggest weapon against him and made her his greatest weakness.

  3. At First Blush, Contemp Romance says:

    The door to the Happy Clam Family Restaurant blew open, bringing in a gust of cold air and the haunting ghost from Hope Windward’s past. Confusion and suspicion swirled in her belly, working its way up her esophagus, nearly choking her with fright. No, not him. Hope flicked the beer tap back, her hand trembling as she slid the Sam Adam’s down the bar to her customer.

    The afternoon sun reflected off the ocean, nearly blinding her, but not so much that she couldn’t make out his face. He had the same dark eyes, only aged, and harder around the edges.

  4. HIS DARK TEMPTATION, Paranormal Romance says:



    And he had missed her.


    She smelled like sea spray and a sky full of heavy rain clouds and her absence opened up a yawning ache where his heart should be.

    Eyes slanting open with an eerie glow he caught in the small mirror above the dresser, he took in another strong breath and didn’t conceal the satisfaction of knowing his female’s pleasure-drenched scent.

  5. CASANOVA EXPOSED, Contemp Romance says:

    Goodbye dignity.
    “I’m going to have him again,” the other woman said, her voice smug as if she knew a secret the rest of womankind didn’t.
    Mark Stanton was one of the reasons Kate had infiltrated the closed party at Madness, the hot nightclub of the moment.

  6. UNCONTROLLED HOPE, Paranormal Romance says:


    Some of her clan, including a few she hunted with tonight, felt sympathy for these weak creatures—not Nyah. Humans had ripped apart the very fabric of her existence when they slaughtered everyone she loved and left her for dead. Hatred rose up, consuming her in its darkness, until there was no other emotion save for her razor-sharp need for revenge.

    Nyah broke through the thick underbrush on the edge of the frozen lake, stunned to find a male vampire surveying the shanty village of fishing shacks.

  7. IDNIGHT’S BALANCE, Paranormal Romance says:





    Kids these days owned multiple electronics branded with the same tiny apples, which made me wonder if Hades himself might discover the logo stamped on their souls when they selfied their way to the Underworld.

    When Marina reached out to snatch the phone from my hands, I stepped backward and smirked as she smacked face first into the wards guarding my threshold.
