I run through the forest as fast as I can go. I don't stop to look back. If I look back, they will catch me and can't afford being caught. I never should have left my house. My mother told me never to leave the house but I did and now I regret it more than anything. Because of my curiosity, I put my family and the town's lives in danger and they will surely be killed.
I'm not supposed to be alive. I'm what they call a mutant. Years ago, the government did tests and other things to make sure no one like me would ever be born. They succeed but they didn't realize that sometimes the gene skips a few generations. My mother realized it as soon as I was born and hid me away in a hidden house in the forest. She protected me from the people who wanted me dead. She knew no one could see me or they would be killed too. I ventured out and agents of the government saw me. I must hide to save everyone.
Yes, yes it does! X)I love your intro, Jade! Now I really want to know what'll happen next!
Yeah, Jade, it's really cool! :D

Here's mine:I was sleeping when I heard my door colapse. I grabbed my spell book as quickly as possible, but it was to late. My head was stuffed into a bag and I was shoved out the door (or what was left). Being a witch was hard these days. Everyone wanted you hanged or -most likely- burned at the stake. After my grandmother and mother had been burned, I was determined to get back at them, without being killed myself. I hid far off in the mountains where I had hoped no one would find me and I could practice without disturbance. I must have underestamated the humans. As I was half stumbling and half dragged across the rough terain, I couldn't help, but think of my fate ahead. I was thrown against a pole and bound tightly against it, my hands losing feeling every second. They yanked they bag off of my head and I saw where I was. The witch burner was at my side yelling at the crowd that had come to watch me die. "The witch will burn!" he yelled as he threw the torch into the pile. Smoke crawled down my throat and I coughed incontrolably. Flamed licked at my legs and I felt their evil heat. When the heat was almost unbearable, I let out a scream that would terrify even the people in the underworld. Then, the most extrordanary thing happened...and I would never forget it.
oooh, what happened at the end? or is it a surprise?
Oh, I hate the Witch Hunt!!! And now that you have created a cliffhanger, you better continue!! ;]
Hey Artemis, could the introduction be paranormal? Like ghosts or vampires or werewolves? That sort of thing?
Yep, of course! Can't wait to read all your intros!
Oh, yes!! Thank you! Ok, here is one of mine:The wolf pads out of its den late at night. It stretches and looks to the sky as it hears the call of its brethren. The wolf hangs its head in sorrow before running through the forest to meet its fellow pack members. When the wolf reaches the clearing, asll heads turn towards the newcomer. They make a path as the large wolf steps cautiusly into the cirlce its brethren have made. The wolf pads to the the figure lying motionlessly in the night, sticking its nose into the silent wolfs fur before letting out a pitiful whine. 'not again' the wolf thinks before raising its head to the sky as it howls out loudly, the pack following their Alpha into the mournful song of death. (BTW, theyre werewolves. You just dont know it yet.)
and my second introduction:
The firgure walked through the wooded len, looking left and right to view the beautiful colors that autumn had brought with it. He didnt feel the chill as the gentle wind blew around hikm, carrying brightly colored leaves tirling and twisting about. He reaches out his hand to catch a leaf, startling a bit as the leaf passes through his hand, leaving a tingling feeling in its wake. "So," he murrmurs to himself "I really am dead." The spirit then turned and walked away. (and then the begining of the story tells about he died, and then about his after-life!)
Welcome!I think I will make a poll soon, since I can't possibly choose from all of these awesome intros!
Too true, too true! Do you think I should make the poll now that I've got time, or on Nov. 30?
now, so people have time to vote
is the winner already posted? and the people who wrote one don't get to vote, right?
I think so, yeah. However, Every introduction, except Yukiko's Spirit got one vote... How do decide then?
Perhaps we could write a little more for our stories, add on like how it dies or how it continues or something. And then there could be another vote?
or the people who wrote their stories could vote, just not for themselves
Well I did vote, but not for my stories.
Ok! cuz it's time to anounce the winner...
Yeah! You shall decide who wins, Kennedy!
Criteria:
-It has to be Fantasy related, sci-fic and steampunk will be accepted too!
-it has to be one to two paragraph long.
-After everyone has submitted their awesome intro, we'll have a poll to see who wins!
-Submission ends on… November 30th!
IT STARTS… NOW!!
