Hi and welcome to my Treasure Hunt!.

The rules are very simple. Each month I will list ten "items" that you will have to find.

The twist is, you have to find an item on Writing.Com that includes the words or phrase that I'm looking for. This can be within the item itself or as part of the title or description.

You enter by posting a message in the forum with a {b-item:xxxxxx} or {r-item:xxxxxx} link for each item requested.

Example:

Say the list is:

vampire
a man named John
a woman named Louise
lizards
shampoo

You would post in the forum as follows:

(My entry for the subject line)

vampire: "The Reluctant Vampire"

[13+]
John: "Trapped!"

[18+]

etc.

As I am starting this contest over fresh, the new rules are as follows:

You will get 1 point for each item that includes one of the prompts in the item, description, or title. So if you find all ten you'll get a minimum of ten points.

You will get 1 additional point for each item that no other entrants submitted.

You will get 1 additional point for each item that was created by a newbie who has been with the site for under a year.

You will get 2 additional points for each item created by a newbie who has been with the site for 6-9 months.

You will get 3 additional points for each item created by a newbie who has been with the site for under 6 months

You will get 5 additional points for each item created by a newbie who has been with the site for less than 1 month!

You will get 1 additional point for submitting 2 or more of your own items, as long as they were created before 5/27/2018

You will lose 1 point for submitting a newly written item, cuz that's just cheating!!

Any questions? Email me.

I encourage you to take the time to read, rate and review the stories or poems that you find your items in.
