And now for your irregularly scheduled advertisement: SMASH Fanfic Competition
SMASH! (Sydney Manga and Anime Show) is a convention by fans for fans. We have a really strong focus on creativity from artists to cosplayers to authors.
SMASH! is running a fanfiction competition for those interested in taking a bit of creative license to canon (or possibly throwing it right out the window).
Take your favourite series or characters and shape and twist them to your heart’s content.
Entries will be judged by a panel of reputable fanfiction authors, chosen for their skills and knowledge of a broad range of fandoms.
To be in on the action, have a look at the fandom list (you’re sure to know at least one of them), and pick one of our prompts to use as broadly as you like to write your fanfic. The skies the limits for what you choose to write (any scene, any pairing), but all fanfics must be rated G or PG. The word length of fics is recommended to be between 1000 to 5000 words, but this is a recommendation, not a hard limit.
Unfortunately prizes will only be awarded to entrants from Australia or New Zealand, but others are welcome to enter and receive feedback from our judges.
Deadline - Midnight, July 1st 2010
