Oh! Oh! I have a question! Pick me! Pick me!

-clears throat- Do our stories have to be completely original or can we do fanfiction too?

Well, I see no reason it is shouldn't be allowed, but if you look at the post where we say what we are looking for as a judge, completely original.

This is an awesome contest idea. I will definitely be interested in entering!

OH CRUD. That was rule 11. I knew that I was missing something.

Ya see, when I was typing up the rules, I forgot what rule 11 was. Then I remembered, but forgot to put it in because I was all excited.

EDIT: Sorry, it was actually in rule 9. Now I have no idea what 11 was for.

So, no, you can't. I'm really sorry, that's my fault for forgetting, though Symie made a valid point.

Maybe one of these days, I'll make a fanfiction writing contest, just to make it up to you.

Thanks! I'm still getting the rules together, as you can see, so y'all have about a week before this is offically open.

And if you guys know anybody who might be interested in judging, let them know! /shameless begging

Well, I would be interested in judging, but then I wouldn't have an excuse to write flash fiction.

EY WAIT A MOMENT. Only I get to write flash fiction! *Mock angry face*

Anyways, I'm going to enter with my epical stories of epicalness! Actually, they're not that epic, but according to CrystalRose here I'm a good writer. *COUGH COUGH BIASED COUGH COUGH*

I'm just kidding with you all. Except for the entering the contest part.

^ Why we need more judges. Sorry, Fox...I'll be too biased. Seriously.

I gotta update the list.

And create the thread.

And then it will open.

I think I could work on a story as an example if you would like Crystal.

Oh, and just wondering but how long or short should these stories be?

By the way, Crystal, there are two Rule #9's.

But I think that we're good. Actually, my goal was to somehow find a way to not let them see each others' work so that the ideas would be completely original.

But there's no way that that would happen. So I just slapped 'NO PLAGIARISM on there and hoped for the best.

There are other examples out there, but I can't link ya to them...I've seen way too many plagiarism issues in the past.

I just noticed that when I was quoting. I wonder if that's what 11 was for.
