Writing Contest - T.V. Shows!

ShadowFlame posted on Aug 31, 2008 at 10:24PM

Inspired by Dearheart's pick about a contest being held at FanFiction, I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys think the rules should be, how the stories are judges, if there was a specific genre, rating, etc.

Plus, I also thought it would be fun if we held our own contest. Again, it would be up to all of us to decide what the rules would be for the entries.

Any idea at all, please go ahead and leave a comment. Everything is appreciated! Remember, YOU help decide how it works!

SO FAR, we, the people, have decided that T.V. Shows will be the topic of writing. For different shows, we will have different judges. No 'M' rating things, and the stories will be one-shots.

Participants include:
- shieldmaiden
- ktlady
- ClassicalNadia
- heeeresjoyce
- TheHiddenCane
- cocacola
- Dearheart
- Anusha
- VampireGirl
- Cinders
- Visitor
- mrsblack_1089

DEADLINE - October 15, 2008.

	ktlady said: I can get it started in the Avatar spot, I believe... as well as send messages (I'm thinking miiamya, kirsty, shieldmaiden, classicalnadia and a few others). Any tv category is open, right? My only concern in the avatar spot is the lack of maturity in some of the possible writers... but I suppose that's what judging is for? I'm assuming we just want to get the word out, and we're encouraging all to participate despite some inexperience. posted 1 month ago.

	ClassicalNadia said: Yeah this is a great idea! Thanks for telling me about this Ktlady! :) I can be a judge for Avatar, Smallville, Alias, C.S.I, 15/Love, One Tree Hill, Instant Star, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, iCarly, and yeah that's all I can think of off the top of my head lol. Just ask me if you want. <3 posted 1 month ago.

	shieldmaiden said: I'll join in! =) I'm thinking about Simon/Kaylee from Firefly just because I absolutely love them! I'll post it on Fan Fiction.net and send you the link to my account once I get it up! =) Thanks ktlady for inviting me! posted 1 month ago.

	mrsblack_1089 said: OK so this month is only TV shows right? Well I'm not familiar with House, CSI, the Office, One Tree Hill, or anything like that. I know Gilmore Girls inside and out though and I would happily submit a piece for that, if I have time. I am always so busy with schoolwork and I'm currently working on a fanfic for the Host; I'm likely to get writer's block if I let it sit untouched for too long. I'm almost done though. If I decide to enter this contest, I would post it on the Gilmore Girls fan club...but which would you perfer? Should I make it be an article, soapbox, or forum? posted 1 month ago. last edited 1 month ago

	ShadowFlame said: We're posting the stories on FanFiction first, give us a link once you've posted it there. And welcome shieldmaiden! posted 1 month ago.

	Cinders said: Question: Are previously posted stories that fit the criteria accepted or is this work that has been written specifically for this contest? posted 1 month ago.

	TheHiddenCane said: My entry for the contest is lost through some weird crash of the USB stick I used as my back up and the original is on my laptop which is away for repairs... I don't know if I'll make it in time but I'll surely try... don't be surprised if you don't get a link to my entry anytime soon... posted 1 month ago.

	Dearheart said: Totally random, but I have another fandom to add to my list: Bleach. Yeah. I used to hate anime, but I recently gave it a chance and Bleach is actually not that bad! Who woulda thunk?? Certainly not me! :p And judging by the size of its archive on fanfiction.net, it's pretty popular. :) Just thought I'd mention it, anyway. And Cinders, I'm not sure...but I think it would be okay. I know how frustrating it is when you see a contest and think "I wrote a story that would be PERFECT..." and then find out that only new entries are allowed. So it's okay with me. :) I don't know what ShadowFlame thinks, though... posted 1 month ago.

	ShadowFlame said: Sure, you guys can submit stuff that you've already wrote! But Cinders, have you already put on FanFiction? posted 1 month ago.

	Cinders said: Um... yes... it has. I posted it in August. That a problem? posted 1 month ago.

	ShadowFlame said: Nope, I was just wondering. posted 1 month ago.

	Cinders said: OK. Do we have a deadline or something...? And do I just post it to the spot or... how does submitting work? EDIT: I was between two stories. Realized my T-rated story may be a little too much so settled for the K+ one. Just FYI. posted 1 month ago. last edited 1 month ago

	cocacola said: okay I made my sign up forum, but I think that the House fanfiction spot is starting it Dark Ages... posted 1 month ago.

	heeeresjoyce said: Wait...it says the deadline is September 15, 2008. That was like a month ago...? posted 1 month ago.

	Anusha said: Ohh you made it :) goes to see even though i'm not writing any FF lol posted 1 month ago.

	Dearheart said: Now that September has flown by, lol...I think a late October/early November deadline would be good. Maybe ShadowFlame could pick a specific date... posted 1 month ago.

	ShadowFlame said: Whoops lol, I meant to put October 15, but how that's.... tomorrow, if you guys want to change that, it'll be fine. I'll fix it for now, but tell me if something should be changed! posted 1 month ago.

	Cinders said: I'm still fuzzy on the whole submission process. We're just posting to the spot or what? posted 1 month ago.

	ShadowFlame said: No. We're posting the Fanfic on FanFiction.net, then you're posting the link to your story on this spot/ posted 1 month ago.

	mrsblack_1089 said: When will everything be judged, and when will we know who...won? Yeah, that's another question: do we win? like is there 1st, 2nd, 3rd place? How many places are there if so? and how will we know what place we rank? will you post it on the forum or leave it in a comment at the bottom of our entries or what? and what's the next contest on? posted 1 month ago.

	maryann_d said: I'm too late? Um...I just saw this right now! Please temme the contest isn't ever yet!!! I love writing FanFic!!!! posted 19 days ago.

	ktlady said: Ohh goodness... I just came up with a story idea-- i've been trying to figure out which tv show to do for forever! gackkk... when is the deadline? I'm probably too late... posted 13 days ago.
