He stared at the screen in dismay, as the results of the tragic error revealed themselves. His beloved work was gone, swallowed by oblivion. He had carelessly neglected to make back ups of his work, and entrusted the safety of his only copies to a writer's website. He thought this was a good idea. He thought wrong.
His fist was clenched and he gritted his teeth in rage. This was all their fault! It must be! He began to formulate a plan. He would punish them, but how? Suddenly the idea came to him, and a smirk appeared over his red face. Enraged, he opened up a competition and poured his hate and anger into it. He fiendishly crafted his insults, and mocked them. He called forth a number of expletives as if they were hellfire, then he laughed. Surely everyone would join him in his walkout, in protest over this heinous crime! They didn't. He failed to destroy the website. He failed at life.
This isn't a serious work, so you don't need to reply. It was created to submit to a fake competition, which was opened in revenge by a member who then closed his account.

Well, I rather enjoyed it! I stumbled upon this hideous contest and thought to myself, "Self, who is the idiot in this plight?" The answer was quite simple! HE IS!
The site is not to blame for his negligence in NOT saving his works to CD or to a Word Processing program!
Then again, his screen name says a lot about his mentality...Finger pointing began a long time ago in a garden...
The women you gave me, she made me eat it...HAH! the serpent, it's his fault - he beguiled me!...
what a dillweed. (a word native to my strange homeland I call Texas) that the person actually took the time to create the contest is one of the many kicks to the groin of intelligent society (assuming that this society is, in fact, a man). like he said, it's a poetic myspace! and we all know myspace is trustworthy...right?
glad someone actually posted a piece in response. well done good sir.
When I read the contest, I felt the same way you apparently did about the person who wrote the whole thing. What a lovely short tale of the true nature of an idiot's woes. Who doesn't save their work elsewhere anyway? Everyone knows you can't trust the internet to hold your ONLY copy of a piece of writing.

Well done, good sir; I came here from your submission that fake competition, and I say again - well done =P. People like that deserve to get burned.
I've always wanted to be a writer, and tried out a few short stories when I was in college. My friends enjoyed them, and passed them onto their friends, until a number of people I didn't know had read.. more..
