Call to all female writers, sorry boys once again another writing contest has started. Figment and Justine magazine have time partnered up. First up the theme update a classic e.g. Romeo and Juliet meet at a school dance. He’s from a rival school. His team is the Mountain Lions, and hers are the Catapults. Or this one Jay Gatsby is the new kid on the block. He’s clever, smooth, and flush with cash. His first weekend in town, he throws a massive party in his huge mansion—and not a parent in sight. Daisy, head of the cheerleading team, can’t help but be charmed. But doesn’t she know him from somewhere? You can put your own spin the classic and you are limited only by your own imagination.
