Okay, so I've decided I really want to do a Mortal Instruments writing challenge thing. I have seen people do things like this before with other categories so I decided I may as well give it a go.

Rules:

1 – You can have any pairing you like; they do not have to be cannon to the books

2 – It can be set before the books, during the books or after the books (Yes, I know Heavenly Fire has not yet come out)

3 – Stories 500+ words are accepted; there is no word limit

4 – Please avoid lemons! Kissing and fight scenes are allowed but I just can't accept lemons

5 – Entries must be a one shot; your story may be continued when the contest is over

6 – Your entry can be about anything you want

7 – Send me a PM or just review this story again when your entry is posted. Don't forget to give me the title of your story!

8 - A MAXIMUM of 3 entries is allowed per writer.

I will be reading and reviewing every entry; I mean, come on, who doesn't like reviews? I will also be creating a banner/story cover for the top 3 writers. The pictures will be found on my facebook page "Holly-Mae Clarissa's Fanfiction". I don't have proper photo editing software but I will still create a story cover/banner. I have done it before.

How it works:

The challenge is now open so entries are being accepted and it will close November 18. I am Australian but all dates are going to be American time.

Reviews will be given as soon as the entry is submitted and I have accepted it. You will receive a PM from me, Holly-Mae Clarissa, when your entry has been accepted.

On November 19 my brother and I will begin judging the entries.

Finalists will be announced on November 25 and voting will begin with a poll on my account.

The top 3 entries, so the winners, will be announced on December 1st through PM. They will also be listed on my profile. If you don't get a PM from me by December 4th and wish to know where you placed, PM me and I will tell you.

Set Up:

Before posting your completed entry, please make sure the following information is included at the top of your story:

This is an entry for Holly-Mae Clarissa's TMI contest.

Note that 'Time Frame' refers to when the story is set i.e. before, during or after the books, well, after City of Lost Souls; make sure you reference which book/books your entry is set in i.e. during CoFA or before CoG; After CoA. Yes, it can be set between stories.

Hit the review button down there to let me know you want to enter. Don't forget to PM me when you have posted your entry. Don't be afraid to ask questions either.

Let me know if you'd like this to be an annual thing...

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
