By popular demand, our very first contest-the "Surprise Twist" Contest!! YAY!!! Before I discuss the contest itself, I want to get rules on submission, deadline, and prize discussion out of the way.
Submission Rules:
-All entries MUST be your own work.
-You may only submit one entry. Do not try to get around this, because I have ways of knowing, including friends who can analyze writing style, so no cheating.
-Entries must be sent to me via pm(just like you would post it on the forum)
-Entry must be about Rule of Rose.
Deadline:
-All entries must be received by midnight December 25th, US Eastern Time.
Prize:
-I can't offer anything truly great, but there will be a first, second, and third place winner, assuming I get enough entries. If not, then only a first. Winners will be posted on the fansite and will get to play a part in my Rule of Rose-inspired novel, Promise of the Rose. There are three main groups of characters-orphans, non-orphan main characters, and minor characters-and this fact will be mentioned in the book, along with directions to where to view your winning story.
-1st Place, you get to decide which of the three you want to be and have significant input on what becomes of your character.
-2nd Place, you get to decide which of the three you get to be, but have little, if any, input.
-3rd Place, you get to be a minor character with little or no input.
Hope the prizes are ok.
Here's the remaining contest info:
Today, I finally got a chance to read through all the fanfics on the forum, and I must say, I was really impressed. So, for this contest, you have to write a fanfic. But not just any fanfic-it must have a 'surprise twist' ending. Your fic can be dramatic, romantic, even comedic(funny), as long as it has a surprise twist at the end. Hope to see lots of submissions!!^^
EDIT: Also, please, no chapter-long fics. Try and keep it smaller.
EDIT #2: Alternate Universe(AU) Rules-Figured I better add this, since it seems a lot of people are getting confused. You cannot submit anything overly different from the game. Things can happen slightly differently, like in the fanfic "Monthly Tribute", where Meg is killed by a young Jennifer. You can do one the takes place in the future or past, but it has to have the game characters and can't be completely AU. Does this make any sense? I'm sorry if this inconveniences anyone.^^;
