So, think you can write good fanfiction? Feeling a bit competitive and/or bored today? Enter this fanfiction contest, and win some free art of any character in the books whatsoever - or any scene in the books as well. I'm not very picky, as you can tell.

There will be two categories for this contest:

Crack Pairing Fic: Write a fanfiction of your choice of these three crack pairings in the series:

- Faquarl/Ptolemy

- Kitty Jones/Ms. Piper

- Quentin Makepeace/Bartimeaus



...I think I need some brain bleach with that last one...anyways, here's the second category!


Bartimaeus Trilogy Crossover: Surprise me with this one. What will you choose? Cthulhu Mythos, xxxHolic, it doesn't really matter to me as long as it's a crossover of some kind.

For both categories, I'll take up to 3 contestants each. When I have my contestants, I'll set a deadline for you to have your fanfiction in by, and pm all 6 contestants.

Entrants for Crack Fic Pairings:

1) Epic_Footstool

2) Saiph

Entrants for Bartimaeus Trilogy Crossover:

1) Mwamba

2) Canis Lupus

3) Ozy

Art samples - in case you were worried about artistic quality in the prizes...

Anyways, I have a math test tomorrow. When I have nothing to do in class (after second period of said subject) I'll start writing of draft of something. :D Or I'll do my best anyways.

Cool! Will you be doing a crack pairing fic, or a crossover fic?

It is a brilliant idea Fio! And your artwork is good too.
I'm not into fanfiction but checking out what the others come up with seems like a good idea.

This sounds awesome! You can sign me up for the crackfic section! xD

Also, is there a limit on the fanfiction's length?
Bartimaeus: It won't be the only mad thing about if you let this lot go. Check out that one at the end. He's taken the form of a footstool. Weird...but somehow I like his style.
Nathaniel: That is a footstool. No one's using that Pentacle.

I'll add your name on the list. :)

And no, there is no limit to the fanfiction's length, so make it as long as you want!

Sweeet. Thanks for entering! :)

We still need 3 more people to enter now. One more for crackfic, and 2 more for crossover.

Right. If nobody shows up for crackfic I guess I'll submit by default.

But I've already been through this phase before.

Erm...and I apologize if the quality is piss poor. I'm too afraid to re-read any of it. :ermm:

Hey, looks like you need more people to enter, and I'm always one for joining to fill up numbers (the whole "taking part is more important than winning" cliche).

I don't understand what you mean by "crossover". Can you explain with an example or something?

Also, if I take part, keep it hush hush please guys? :) I often disapprove of fanfic (waste of young author's creativity, etc) but I do want to help, and I know I probably could do something OKish.

I'm to lazy to explain, so here are some links from TV tropes and idioms - god I love that site...so addicting.

TV tropes defines "Crossover"

Intercontinuity crossover

And don't worry, I won't tell anyone you wrote a fanfic of all things. :whistle:

It's fine, just write a crossover fic. 2 per category will be enough, I think. :)

And don't worry. We all have our old shames...just thinking about my own makes me shudder.

OK, I'll write a crossover. How should I put it up? I would link to my own site, but that would result in people on my site finding out, and that would end badly for me. I could copy and paste from a word doc to here, I suppose... Is there a spoiler warning tool?

Ah, here it is. Same shortcut as my site, that's useful.

Yeah, copy-pasting from a word doc to here will work. :)

You guys think October 15 is more than enough time to have the fanfiction in by?

Yeah, October 15 sounds good to me. =D

My submissions:

Crackfic: HOT QUENTIN ON BARTY ACTION!

Crossover: Nathaniel met Harry Potter. They both were all like "WTF you have magic." The End.


Note: This is a joke post. I am actually way to lazy for this. Have fun guys! Especially the crossover people, 'cuz I love those things.
