In honour of me hitting 2k followers (holy shit), I'm holding another graphics contest! I am INCREDIBLY grateful for all of you who have supported me to get to this point. Writing has been such a big part of my life, especially here on Wattpad and I just can't believe how many of you read my writing daily! And so I am holding this contest in celebration!

You are able to submit anything considered a graphic, covers, gifs, video edits (!!), moodboards, manips, anything you like! Just read and follow the rules or I will not consider your graphics! You may submit your entries through pm or tag me in a misc chapter!

PLEASE READ THE RULES CAREFULLY!

(rules by @astrxids)

01. be respectful and kind to all of the contestants and entries, I will not tolerate anyone being rude and if you are, your graphics will be disqualified and put on a blacklist. so, just be nice!

02. your entries have to be made and belong to you. If I find out that you have plagiarised somebody else's work or taken inspiration without credit, your graphics will again be disqualified and put on the blacklist.

03. the amount of entries you submit are unlimited, but as with any graphic contest, the amount of entries does not guarantee you a spot as a winner. I will be judging the graphics based off accuracy to the story, quality, and the effect it has on me personally. That being said, I am always appreciative of any graphics that are submitted because it is an excellent way to showcase your abilities and incredible talent.

04. the deadline for all graphics is September 25 (one month). if you are in desperate need of an extension I will grant it, but I'm hoping to have all graphics in by that time. The results will be posted soon after, depending on how hard it is to judge the graphics

Forced to move to Hawkins with her over-protective father, Tonya got a job at the new Starcourt mall, scooping ice cream for bratty children with her annoying coworkers, Steve and Robin. Summer was supposed to be fun-filled and carefree, instead, she was working to build 'character' as her father put it. It didn't help that Steve was constantly pestering her, always fumbling his words. What could that be about?

Arguments and shouting matches became more frequent. Stephen would often find himself on the couch, not that he minded. Eventually, he would just leave for the night.

Cecelia assumed she was safe, but then seemingly every alarm in her cockpit began to go off, every light began to flash. A migrating flock of geese flew right for her. It was all too fast. By the time she realized it was too late. Both of her engines failed, the eject button failed. The jet crashed and Cecelia Attwood was never the same.

short summary: Dreams to most are something out of their control, something that merely 'happens' while they sleep. But what if you could be the ruler of your dreams, take control and do what you want? Some may say that is impossible, that dreams belong in the subconscious -- so why is it called 'sub'conscious? Your conscious is there, you just need to set it free
