It's Saint Patrick's Day, but this year the Irish are sharing their kisses!
Guidelines and Instructions:
1) Entrants shall write a fanfic for The Host in which you describe -in detail- the ultimate kiss. The kiss can be lovely/romantic/passionate/sexy/dangerous/platonic... it's totally up to you, but it has to be completely amazing.
2) The fic must revolve around the kiss or build up to the kiss (i.e. the kiss should be the climax of the story).
3) To enter, all you have to do is submit your fanfic at
The Host Fan Fanfiction Archive and mention in the summary that your fic was written for this contest.
4) Any pairing(s) are welcome and the kiss can be between anyone (slash or het).
5) The highest rating allowed is R, so that means no sex - this is a kiss fest, not a kink fest - and we want people of all ages to be able to vote.
6) There is no word limit, but the fic must be a one-shot since this challenge has a deadline. (You are, however, allowed to write sequels or additional chapters after the challenge is over.)
The deadline to submit fics is April 17, 2010. Voting will go up the next day at
TheHostFan.com and viewers will have one week to vote. In one week the polls will close and the top three fics with the greatest number of votes will be determined. Winners will receive a banner made depicting their fanfic by the lovely Melody and their fics will be the "featured stories" in the sidebar of the fanfiction archive.
It is not necessary to post your fic at the Fanfiction Archive to participate in this challenge. If you want to write a fic using this prompt and post it solely on livejournal, then that is fine - we encourage everyone to participate in any form. However please be aware that only fics posted in the FFA can be considered for voting (as voting takes place on the website, not via LJ polls). In other words anyone can write the fic, but if you want to submit it for voting (and the prize of the banner), then you must submit it to the
Fanfiction Archive.
If you have any questions, please ask them here.
Good luck - and may the best kiss win!
