ATTENTION! THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN MOVED TO APRIL 16TH!!!!! I WILL TRY TO PM EVERYONE ABOUT IT AS WELL!!!!
As stated in the Anime Otaku v.3 topic ( Yay!! version 3 ) we have been talking about a contest and we have decided to make a contest on FanFics. So this topic is the guidelines and rules of the FanFic contest. I hope through this contest many more Anime Otaku's will actually become active because its depressing to have over 60 members and only a few being active.

About this contest
_ This contest is about making a FanFic of an anime that you perferably have already watched before. If you are not familiar with the term FanFic it is basically you take the anime characters from the anime you choose and create a story with them, where you are allowed to twist and turn them in your own will without being sued unless they somehow stumble upon this site. But don't worry too much.

Prompt
_ You are allowed to choose any anime and manga. But please don't do some hentai and make it all perverted.. PLEASE!
_ There is no limit on how long it can be. But please make sure it atleast longer than 1 paragraph ( doubt you can tell a whole fanfic in 1 paragraph anyways... )
_ You will be provided with a challenge. It is a topic that you must write about and a sentence that must be inside the FanFic no matter what. When added please "" quote it or bold that statement. If not added or not seen then the FanFic will be disqualified.
_ You will not be graded on Grammar and Vocabulary... ( its not school ) you will be graded on the quality of the story line and how interesting it is ^^

Theme and Sentence
_ Theme will be " Most Romantic Date"
_ Sentence that needs to be inside the FanFic is "I've dreamed of this moment all my life."

News and announcements
_ News and announcements will be updated on the first topic.
_ Judges will not be decided on until we see how many participants there are.
_ Judges will also be able to turn in a FanFic but will not be able to judge their own.
_ So far there is no dead line on sign ups
_ Prize for this contest has not been decided upon.
_ The date has been decided and the deadline will be April 16th,2006 on a sunday. When posting the FanFic there will be a seperate Thread for it so don't worry about that.

I'm in. I think! Yes, put me down.

Yay our first contestant ^^

I don't quite get that part...we're supposed to have a certain sentence in our Fanfiction? is that what it's basically saying?

Anyways, Count me in. This should be fun even though it'll be my first. I'll try writing fanfictions... [never written on before]

The sentence "I've dreamed of this moment all my life." was decided with me and naomi and basically when writing your FanFic that line must be inside the fanfic or your disqualified. Like :

Then Naru turned around and said " I've dramed of this moment all my life, Thank you Keitaro" Something similar to that but it has to be within your FanFic ^^ hope that clears it up for oyu ^^

I think I'll try.
But is there a specific deadline?
I take forever on things.
@w@;;

ditto...

Okay, I'll give it a shot... first timer too. Unless there is a deadline soon, then I won't have enough time - so what's the deadline?

Hmmm.... romantic? This will be fun...!!

Someone should pin this.

Awesome this is really exciting :)

I will pin this now...

hmm, when is the deadline?

Well... since we've been talking about Ranma and Akane, I'm in! (ooo with the caveat of knowing what the deadline is)

I think the deadline should be around the last day of March. For most of us, school and work are obstacles for writing.

Once again, I'm suggesting the end of March.

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!... kidding... so i gues i wont be reading a Yaoi fan fic... but im not writing but do the participants post their fanfics here?

Could the deadline be in 2 months or so? I think we all need time to develop a plot line.

omg yes...i think we need 2 months what with school and all... AHH SIGN ME UP FOR THIS BABY TOO!

The deadline has not been really decided upon yet.. but I'm thinking 2 months is too long for 1 contest ... -__-;; I can probably give until mid april ^^

I added 1 New Announcement to the list. Read the bottom it should be bolded

Mid-April seems kind of long, but it would do. How about April 15?

What if I can tell a story in 1 paragraph (it's called drabble people... 100 words, 1 paragraph.)?
Oh well, I'll write something longer then.

QUOTE

But please don't do some hentai and make it all perverted.. PLEASE!

Does that mean I only get boy/girl pairings? Define "perverted" please.

Oh. &yeah. ?I'm "in".

It can be whatever type of pairing you want it to be. Male/Female, Male/Male, Female/Female, as long as it doesn't tread those hentai waters.

I think one month should be enough...I mean, most contests aren't even that long. If we have this contest for too long, there won't be chances for other types of contests in a fair amount of time...I don't know what I'm talking about anymore..

I think you're right.

Then I stand by my vote for the end of March.

^I'm right behind you on that one...or next to you. haha.

We'll do about the first week of april ^^ On sunday april 2nd when day light savings begins

how about htat?

lol, sounds fair. I can make that compromise. =]

Sounds good. Now do we PM the fanfics? Or do we post them?

So no drabble slash fics?

If you can tell a whole FanFic in 1 paragraph you can try ^^. But this is about creativity and how good it is. So yeah ^^

Ok then its settled the date the FanFics willbe due is April 2nd. That is on a sunday.

And no you won't have to PM the FanFic.. I will make a seperate topic just for it when the time is near. So it doesn't get spammed and such with useless stuff ^^. And its a "FAN"Fic so everyone should be able to read it.
