Hello, hello, all my merry lurkers!
I have noticed a increase in the number of fanfiction writing contests popping up on various MB and am wondering if y'all would like to do something like that here?

I probably shouldn't be saying this as exams are coming up soon, but I'm up for it.

Okay, the consensus seems to be to give it a go, so how about each contest runs for one month? And shall we select the winner by poll or do I choose?

One month sounds good. I think we should have a poll, that way everyone gets to vote on which one they like the best, instead of just one person choosing.

I would prefer a poll, but I am flexible.

Using a poll sounds like it would be the most fare. Though I am sure that you would be fare too Karri. A poll may be easier too...for everyone. It would mean that Karri doesn't have to read all of them and judge them all herself.

Okay, sounds like it's a go. So here's the plan:
Each contest will run for one month. At the start of each month, I will post a thread with the theme and required elements for that month's contest. Those entering a story will need to reply to the original post with a link (or the story in its entirety) so that the stories don't get lost.
I will put up the voting poll for the previous contest when I post the new contest at the start of the next month. The poll will remain open for one week, and then the winner will be announced. (This assumes that the number of entries will most likely be less than 5. If by happenstance we are inundated with entries, voting time will be adjusted accordingly.)
Would you like banners for entering? Banners for winning? Both? Neither?
Also, if you would like to suggest a theme for a future contest, send to me in an email: kln1671@yahoo.com
Any objections so far?

Sounds good. I always liked the idea of having banners for winning, I always saw it as sort of a little prize, but if everyone else wants them for entering, that's fine too.

All righty then, banners for the winners only it is.
