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.

EPIC

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?

Sign me up for crossover. :)

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?

Ah, this sounds fantastic, but I'm all booked for the next bit of time.

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!

Great! I'll get right to work then. :)

Ooh, this is right up my alley!
I'd like to sign up for the crackfic challenge. ;p

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

So You Want to Write a crossover

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

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?

[+] Spoiler

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

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

You can use http://www.pastebin.com or a similar service if it gets too long for the post box here (use the private option to prevent search engine indexing and the like).

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.
