We've always wondered how the Crosswires got their money. Ed certainly hasn't brought in all that cash on his own, not to live in a house like that. So, how did they do it?

That's my question for YOU. This is a challenge/contest of sorts. You respond to the prompt "How did the Crosswires get their money?" PM me when you've posted your response and I'll check it out. Then, I'll judge the responses I receive and pick the best one.

The winner will get either a request or a beta session (you may get both depending on A] How extensive your request is or B] how long your piece is for beta). Multiple winners could be chosen. Truly, I just don't know yet:)

The deadline will be decided later on. Keep an eye on my profile, on my twitter (DASLChrys), and in the A/N's of my future stories, to know when the deadline will be. TIP: If you plan on participating, review this or PM me to let me know as soon as you can.

NOTE: I'll be answering this prompt as well! I'll be posting my entry soon as a separate story.

RULES:

You must credit me when you use this prompt. Whether credit is in your summary, before your piece, or after your piece, you must mention the prompt and that you got it from me. Note: If you have a older piece covering this subject matter, you may enter it. Just add in a little note at the end or something to say you've entered it in my contest.

Please let me know that you've done the prompt. I check on new entries to our fandom pretty regularly, but I want some clarification. PM me when you've posted your story (unless I follow you already) so I'll know what you've done.

No length requirement. Your response can be a drabble, a one-shot, a chaptered piece, etc. Just be warned that if your piece is really long, I might only judge it by the first few chapters;)

No rating requirement (aside from the site's rules). You can make this as fluffy or as dark as you like, but please follow the site's rules with your rating.

No crossovers. This is Arthur only.

No entry limit. You can respond to my prompt multiple times. Just remember that I am a busy college student who might not be able to get to all of them in a timely manner.

Have fun! And that's an order *shakes ruler*

If you have ANY questions whatsoever, please review this with them or PM me.

I'll update this piece as new info becomes available.

The following people CANNOT win this contest: DarkAngelSnapeLover [I created it] and BlackNeko20 [she helped come up with the idea, which was a request given from my boyfriend], and my boyfriend [though if he joins the site and writes for it, I'd be so happy:D].

Also, Megan thanks NocturneD-your conversation with her about the Crosswires made us both want to delve more into their mysterious past.
