Oh I read it just now, and you were right. It was crazy hilarious! I mean, Verdona inducing early labour is just LOL! It was Chibi Hime who wrote that, BTW.  |

*laughs* Okay, I was wrong about the author, but I'm glad you still found it. It was just so funny.
So what I'm thinking is that we give everyone the entire month of April to write. The finished stories (one shots are also allowed) would be due May 1st, but they can start before March is over. That gives us time to get the word out and see if other people want to try their hand at it. It would be seperated into humor or serious (unless not many people enter), and your fanfic can only be in one of the contests, but you can have two separate entries. What do you guys think?

SO the contests would be for two months each? Like, if it's April challenge, it'll be announced in March and due in May?

I think once we take off, we'll probably do them monthly, but for right now, there's not many of us, and there's always people that are too busy to enter, so this time around we're basically all getting a month and a half. The full month of April and part of March (since March is almost over)

Oh. OK! Cliches! I'll try and incorporate as many as possible into my fic...  |

Well, there you go. I'm going to do two stories, one for the serious one, one that's humorous.
I'm going to ask that everyone start asking people to join this contest (bigger contests are always more fun, after all!). For example, if you write a new chapter on ff.net, mention the site and the contest. Please?
The only rule I can think of is that voters are required to register here (otherwise the poll won't work. I'm not a big fan of math, and I'm not going to be happy if I have to count votes), and they must have read every fanfiction in the category they're voting for. Also no voting for yourself. That's just tacky.

Err... I may do drama, just because I find Gwevin easier to write drama/angst.
I am an active pursuer of cliches. I think all my Gwevin plot bunnies are cliches. I have no original ideas whatsoever *cries*...

*laughs* I've used some cliches myself, we're all guilty of at least one at some point in writing. It happens.

So, we have a whole two months to get this done? Cool. I'll get started as soon as I can on a new cliched story! And no one should worry about using cliches, I think they're there to help us writers when we're stuck on an idea! It may be widely known, but it's our jobs to make 'em cool and intresting for readers! I feel so wise. |

Lol...
You should feel wise, cuteinpurple.
What's your name anyway? (I mean, what can we call you? It's kind of tiring writing cuteinpurple all the time.)

Oh, and on a different note, I have a quasi-entry for this competition. I'm not sure whether it'll be done in time though.  Check the angst fanfiction topic on the forum! |

Well, that depends...if it's an actual entry, it should be posted on this board, not the "angst fanfiction" board. If you're not sure about entering it, you can go ahead and leave it there.
