User blog:Endeavory/Endeavory's Sob Story Contest

Do you know a character with THE MOST depressing childhood ever? Is there an OC whose destiny makes you tear up just thinking about it?

This contest celebrates the overwrought, the despairing, and the deliciously depressing Original Characters of creators who savour a little sorrow. Any characters with a sad story, either behind them or ahead of them, is eligible.

Voting opens today and closes on the 1st of September. Nominate your own character or the character of a friend. Limit of three votes per username, so choose carefully!

Please include a brief note letting me know what's so unfortunate about the unfortunate soul in question, and why you think they deserve the Crown of A Thousand Tears.

PRIZES: The creator of the winning character will recieve their choice of either a piece of art or a short story by me. (Remember, I'm a professional writer who gets paid to write things. It could be amazing.)

Now get nominating! I won't be happy until I'm so sad I can't sleep!
