It's THAT time of the month again... no, I don't mean THAT time... agh... so we've never done this officially before. Welcome to the official thread proclaiming the official Fanfic Contest! *evil laughter*
Our judges will be:
Eisley
Mekka
Jandalf
(sigh, we lost the old ones)
The RULES will be typical. Nevertheless, here they are.
You WILL send your entries to Celebrian-- user name: admin. NOT the judges. You won't post them here. See? Easy. PM them to Celebrian-- if they won't fit in one PM-- well-- deal with it. Send her several, labled 1, 2, 3, and on, if you must. Or host the file on freewebs, or something, if you have a webpage, and get her to download it. She, in turn, will send them in to the judges so that they don't know who wrote the fanfic.
Now, the eviler rules.
We are running a
[glow=red,12,000]CROSSOVER[/glow][/color]
contest.
That means you take characters from two or more of the following:
Lord of the Rings
Star Wars
Pirates of the Carribean
The Matrix
Veggie Tales
Spider Man
Narnia
--and write them into a fanfic. You won't use any original characters that could give you away. For example, I wouldn't use Tiana, or someone like that-- that would be a dead givaway. Jandalf couldn't use herself, or her twin. Shadow couldn't use Shadow or Almarien. Adrienne couldn't use the "Empress". Darth Warious can't use herself either. Anyone with a dead set character that IS them-- a character in RP, or something like that-- they can't use that character.
It is preferred that your base for your story is either from LotR, SW, or PotC. You may go as AU as you want.
Now, let's carry on with rules.
The story has to be PG. Any curse words will be censored when the fanfic is posted, as it is, but if you have to-- *glares at Jandalf, who seems to have a tendacy to curse in fanfic once in a while*-- you can use any curse words that appear in the Star Wars old trilogy. If you have to. But we'd rather you make up cool sounding SWy words like sithspit, or whatever.
One entry per user name only. If you really want to, you can alias enter. Well, the judges can't, of course...
The story should be Mary-Sue based. If you don't know what a Mary-Sue is... well... read Hobbit-eyes fanfic The Official Fanfic University of Troy, or just plain read her fanfics. I think most of them explain Mary-Sue pretty well. If they don't, PM HER and ask. Because she can actually explain a Mary-Sue.
Basically, any character from Earth/other planet that isn't canon who gets teleported into whatever other world, ruins the canon, and just plain makes a mess of things. Read Paint Wars on fanfic.net-- Tiana and Jandalf are mild Mary-Sue's merely because of the ending, and because they destory the canon of the universe. Completely. They can make characters fall in love with them coughLIKEOBI-WAN,EH,MASTER?cough, can usually use the Force/Magic... yeah.
No That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter. mentions allowed. Or Star Trek. Heh, sorry.
Spell check your fanfic. www.spellcheck.net is an online spellchecker. And www.rhymezone.com is an online dictionary. I'll get Celebrian to spell check the fanfics, but it's preferred the sendees actually do that themselves.
REAL format is requested. You know, with quote marks? No scripting, unless necessary. PLEASE. Sigh.
The length doesn't matter-- it can be anywhere from 2 pages to 100 pages on size 10 Verdana font facing.
Please, END the fanfic, though. Don't send in an unfinished fanfic.
The deadline to get your fanfics in will be March 6th. ((EDIT: THE END OF OCTOBER!!)) That's a Sunday, for your information. The winners will be announced on the Saturday after that, unless our judges decide to post the winners earlier.
I'll be making the prizes after the winners are posted. Yes, I'm going to enter, but it doesn't matter because the judges won't know who wrote what.
You've got two months, so start writing!
To the judges, depending on how many entries there are, there will be a first, second, and third prize. There has to be at least 4 entries, then. If there's only 3... well... *snickers* Everyone will win. If there's a lot-- like 10-- then do an honorable mention as well. You'll get the present entries sent to you every weekend, I think. Or something of the like. Mom'll come up with something.
Good luck to all, and MTFBWY.
EDIT: Deadline is now April 1st because no one likes entering...
REEDIT: Deadline is now the end of August. The 31st.
IT'S THE END OF OCTOBER, BLAST IT, NOW ENTER!!!!!!
As for the judges, please rate the fics by giving them a number from 1 to 10, with 10 being best. And explain what you liked and didn't like about it. Or something.
