You can't apply for Round 2 yet. Once Round 1 starts, then you can.

It's great you're opening it up again Mint, and i'll try to join some, but some of the round catagories are a bit restrictive, especially if you're not american.
I don't know what Ohio or New york are like and have never heard of a Yowie. Maybe have a bigger range, lot's of the catagories are on aliens and animals, mythical and real. I love animals as much as the next person, but some of the rounds are quite similar
Don't take this as critisim as it's hard thinking up plot ideas, and it's awesome you've decided to reopen the thread.

Dear journal,
Today could have been worse, but luckily wasn't. Checkers had a tantrum today when Mom took away Mr. Smiley, since he was playing too violently with him. I hope Chucky doesn't read this, but that doll is just demented and scary. Those stitches, button eyes, and big, toothy smile are the stuff of nightmares. Someday, he's gonna find out that creepy things just aren't cool. Hopefully.
It's raining outside. The sky's been a colorless splatter of dull tones, like pencil led spread over a canvas, for the past week. We've stayed inside for a while. I want to go to the pool. I'm hungry. I wanna run around. I feel like I'm a little bird that's been in a cage for decades that needs to be released into the crisp air of spring.
Tomorrow I'm gonna go to my best friend Sapphire's house. Well, she's a great friend. I've learned that if you get too close to someone, they're gonna let you down and make you burst into tears and just want to disappear sooner or later.
But anyways, back to today. Well. I haven't really done much, but eh. Just watching Chucky play with Mr. Smiley and erupting over him.
So that wraps it up for today.
Dying of boredom,
December

Excerpt of your writing: Rentrulia looked at Hundrey worried. She didn’t want to die. Nobody wants to die. They were brought into the basement of a castle and thrown into a cell. The cell smelled of rats and rank smelling bodies. Just then they saw a dead body in another cell. Rentrulia, disgusted, threw up. Hundrey tried to stop her, but she fainted. Hundrey sat there, in a corner, feeling deppressed. Why on earth do they want ME, of all people. I’m not even that important… Or am I? Hundrey thought. Maybe, just maybe, I AM important, and I just don’t know it. From a short story I wrote DO NOT COPY….

How long have you been on Scratch?: Two or three years this July
How much do you write: A lot. Probably about thirty minutes a day.
Excerpt of your writing:
A rush of air. A flash of light. A boom that seemed to echo through Nathan’s head. Sensory overload took Nathan by surprise. The smell of the smoking carcass of the plane. The light show that tortured Nathan’s mind. The boom after countless boom of the thunder, and nature’s drum roll that filled the gaps. Nathan nearly blacked out as his senses were overloaded. His hand slipped a little, and he struggled to put it back on the chair. Fighting, fighting . . . and no longer. With one last glance around, Nathan surrendered to the unstoppable force that battled him, separating from the craft. Falling, grasping the seat cushion, Nathan watched the plane spiraling out of control. Watched, holding onto the image, striving to stay conscious. Then, finally, peacefully, giving in to the sleep.
An (unedited) paragraph from my most recent book.

Never mind my prior post. Epic fail at reading, LOLz.
Edit again. Wrong form XP. Sorry, but I think my brain is on vacation today.

Username: JayZX535
Will you submit your writing on time: To the best of my ability (I might be a little slow until mid-June because of school, but I'll try to be on time)
Will you follow the rules: Yep
Anything else?: Example, if you want it. I already wrote it, so I might as well keep it. Otherwise just ignore

Darkness. All around her. Filling the room. Unbroken, save for the occasional flashes of lightning that filtered into the room from between the curtains, casting long shadows on the floor in the instants before they faded. Hardly enough light to read by- but to her eyes it was enough.
She'd read the book hundreds of times before- so many times that she didn't need light to know the words. And yet here she was, reading it again despite the terrible darkness.
She loved the darkness.
Turning back to the book, she chanced a look at the window. Nothing- no sign of the Crosser they said would come. But he would come. They had never been wrong before. It was only a matter of time.
The storm grumbled again in anger, but she hardly heard it. Her hands trembled as she turned the page, and saw the golden letters graven there, shining in the dark with a glow all their own.
Crosser child, lost from birth, shall pass forever from this earth
Alone, forsaken, trapped in time, yet all the worlds shall heed her cries
A shadow fell across the floor as the door swung open. To all appearances the wind had blown it thus- but she knew better.
“Adenara. It is time.”
She stood, turning to face the robed figure who stood in the door, his silver cloak shining bright as the lightning itself, yet hiding its bearer from all eyes but her own.
“I am ready. Let us make the Crossing.”

How much do you write: a lot. ‘nuff said.
Excerpt of your writing: Yesss. I like this app.
Here’s an exerpt from a mlp fanfic i'm writing. (the beginning)

I stand on the cliff, my armour glinting in the sunset. The beams of light wink at me, burning beautiful sparkling patches on my chestplate.
My hooves are centimetres from the edge of the cliff. My muzzle is beyond, over the sea below.
I have never been beyond the sea. I have never been beyond the alicorn rule.
I know of people who have. They were born outside, and came here. But they have never left.
I wonder on that, for what seems hours, but is only seconds, as the sun has still not set.
…
He turns to me. I see a side of his face that i had not seen until now. He is stitching up a reopened scar that passed down his face from his ear to his jowls.
We walk on. We are walking across a field, and we reach a gate. We open it and walk through.
The fields are all grey in the dying light. They had been a burnt sienna orange, but now they are grey. The firey sun has gone out, and all that is left is but ash.
And Us.
