Here are some examples!
 
After we’d shut ourselves in the freezer- the only place we could think of to hide- I exhaled sharply, and I could see my breath as a cold, ghostly mist. Those dreadful pounding noises just wouldn’t cease, and as I grabbed Adelaide’s hand for support, I was beginning to wonder if it was really that thing that was making them now, or if it was my heart beating like a drum inside my chest. “Look, I swear I’m not saying this just because this is probably the end; I really truly mean it, Delly: I-” In that moment the lights flickered on just long enough for me to get a good look at her face; her once animated features were now permanently frozen in a perpetual state of fear, as though she’d been petrified. “I love you,” I whispered, for the first and last time. - written by me.
 
When he was a child he watched her; spending hour upon hour gazing up at the Sky Angel. He found everthing about her beautiful, the way her skin shone pearly in the early sun, the way her red hair floated softly around her head like a halo, and the way her eyelashes rested upon her cheeks, never flutting open. When he grew he wanted her. He built a ship of steam and steal to reach her. Without so much as a thought to consequences he did what so many wanted to do; he stole her. - written by my sister, Nell.

I needed to make a happy set today. My mom very recently was in the hospital- she's fine now, thank goodness, but we had a bit of a scare. So this is for her. <3

It's no secret that I'm a huge TV junkie. Television is a huge part of my life, and my dream is to become a tv writer someday, or even a showrunner. So yes, I get emotionally invested in shows all the time. One of my all-time favorites is Warehouse 13. I could spend all day saying good things about it (and I have), but that's not why I'm writing this. Warehouse 13 has been cancelled. It's been "renewed" for a season five, which will consist of six episodes. It's enough to "close down" the series, which is more than most shows get these days, and I'm grateful for that. But it's also completely ridiculous, and here's why:
According to SyFy, Warehouse 13 has dropped below "acceptable" ratings. It's averaging below two million right now, which is pretty low- I'll give them that. However, this does not reflect the ratings from downloads, DVR, On-Demand, Netflix, season DVDs, etc. It's a proven fact that sci-fi tv series do tremendously well on sties like ITunes, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, etc. It's completely ridiculous that they don't look at these things! If they did, they'd see that this show is one that could really go on forever. Endless possibility is what the show is about, after all!
Okay, okay. You're probably asking, who cares? It's just a show. And you're right, to a point. But there's a bigger issue here. SyFy has not had a series last beyond five years since well before its 2009 rebranding efforts. Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, Farscape, Caprica- all of them cancelled well before their time. If this trend continues, I fear that SyFy won't have anything left to give us. They're already shoving fillers down our throats- paranormal shows by the dozen, wrestling, etc. It won't be long before there is a complete absence of anything artistic, meaningful, or interesting on TV.
tl;dr? SyFy needs to reconsider the way it looks at its ratings, stop giving us filler, and stop cancelling shows before their time!

Sometimes in books, movies, games, and tv shows the settings are just as beautiful and important as the plots and characters themselves. Create a set based on your favorite setting (EX: Hogwarts castle, The Shire, inside the TARDIS, etc.) You have one week, and three winners. Have fun!
