So who's up for the fan fiction challenge!?!
Show us some creativity!

Come on everyone! We have 500+ members, so I hope we get at least 10 entries!

I'm SO totally in...but the keywords thing...
Does it mean, the fanfic must have something to do with all those words?
Uhm, and what do you mean by cheesy double wording?

The keywords mean that you have to ADD them to
your story, use them creatively and mix them in good ^^

Cheesy double wording is like using the
word like , and , cool, awesome
you know words that people use often.

Make sure when writing you specif the characters
so we know who's going where like for example:
Lets say you have Kira,Cagalli, and Lacus.
If Kira and Lacus go somewhere don't say They both
cause we won't know who you're talking about and we'll get confused

Hope that wasn't too hard to understand ^^'

MapleRose's qualifications

1. for the genre, does it have to be all of those, or just pick one?
If It pleases you guys, you may pick the gene! <3

2. is there a length restriction? (is there a minimum or maximum length?) I say how about a maximum of 5000 words? ('cause it'd be hard to read something really really long

Minimum is 5000 words

3. I think we should have two winners, one for the popular vote, and one based on judging (unless they're the same entry) ^__^

Winners- there will be 4 winners MaplRose's Choice
Kitten's Choice Most Popular Judge's Choice
4. For the judging, how about each entry starts out with 10 points, and there's a 1 point deduction for each word not included. And another 1 point deduction if the word is used more than 3 times? Also, the story should be judged on how well it's written (ie good grammar and flow, and makes sense), as well as creativity?

Judging will be based on: How you use the words, creativity, grammar,
enjoyment, only use the keywords once and each entry will start out with 10 points and a 1 point deduction for each word not included. And another 1 point deduction if the word is used more than 3 times <3

Bonsai! Good Luck!

I'd try but as I'm not native it would be hell of a task to be creative and grammaticaly correct at the same time. Not to mention those words which must be implied and cheesy double wording... I guess from my previous reviews that I'm not good in writing... :| shame

"Minimum is 5000 words"

hey Kitten, I think you meant maximum 5000 words, right?

Oh lol yes, yes! maximum is 5000 words!

The keywords...u meant like this?

Cagalli and Athrun sat on the beach, in each other's embrace as they watch the sun sets.

And do you mean that the keywords, such as embrace, it could only be use three times?

Yea thats a good sentence and no the key words can
only be used once.

Oh I c...^^
Okay, I understand now...^^,

Well I haven't been active in this group at all...or Minitokyo for a while for that matter...I should do something for this ^_^ Never written a fanfic before, we'll see...
What's the keyword "Oh-no" mean? Is it supposed to be used as an exclamation? Like "Oh, no, we're all going to die!"? Well not exactly like that...but you get the idea...^_^'
And we can use different "versions" of the keywords, right? For example, instead of obvious and slapped, could we use obviously or slap?

yay a fanfiction contest! *..* wooo i wanna be in! ... but not sure i can, and you sure are cocky! Lets hope classes will give me abrake to be able to write something, so wish me luck!

A Fanfic contest! Great!
It's sad that I won't be able to participate... I involved in too many fics right now!
But good luck to everybody!
