Tokyo Mew Mew (Alternate) Universe Oneshot Contest

Hosted by Zenaga the Serpent

Note from the Host

Hello all, and welcome. Let me first say that I have never hosted a fanfiction writing contest, nor have I ever entered one. I have always wanted to participate, but due to my limited internet access, I never find out about them in time. So, if you see any mistakes in my setup, then please let me know so that I can correct them. Thank you!

Description of Contest

As the name implies, your goal in this contest is to write an alternate universe Tokyo Mew Mew oneshot. However, there is a catch; you must use a pre-existing setting from another anime, cartoon, video game, television show, book, comic or movie. Pretty much any medium is acceptable; even newspaper comics.

Deadline

September 4th, 2010

I will not accept any entries past this date. No exceptions.

Rules

You are not allowed to use characters from any other story except Tokyo Mew Mew. You are allowed to use oneshot characters from the Tokyo Mew Mew series, and, in fact, I encourage it. This is the part where you study up on your minor characters.

Ruthless bashing of any characters is strictly forbidden. FORBIDDEN.

Your stories must be rated T or under. Not that I don't love lemons or brutal violence, but let's keep it friendly for those who don't like sex or blood and guts.

You are not allowed to use the setting from another 'magical girl' anime. That means no Sailor Moon.

Your story must be uploaded on fan fiction (dot) net. I will not accept entries from any other site.

You are not allowed to use major OCs.

IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR YOU TO USE EXTREMELY MINOR OCS, AND/OR EQUALLY MINOR CHARACTERS FROM THE NON-TOKYO MEW MEW UNIVERSE.

Your Chances of Winning will Increase…

If you use minor characters from Tokyo Mew Mew.

If all of the characters in the story remain in character, or if they have personality changes, try to make them believable.

If you include pairings, and make me believe them. That includes all of the relatively cannon pairings (Example: Pretty much any Ichigo pairing, Ryou/Pai x Lettuce, Pudding x Tart, one-sided Minto x Zakuro.) All pairings are subject to scrutiny, so use your brain.

If you use proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling. In other words, write well, kiddies.

If your setting is from an obscure anime/TV show/cartoon/movie/book/video game. (In other words, if I see any Naruto or Twilight, I may shoot you for lack of imagination.)

If you don't ruthlessly hate on Masaya. (Just kidding. I won't take away points for that, but you won't get any either.)

Prizes

1st Place; Oneshot about the couple/character of your choice, and an accompanying image

2nd Place; Oneshot about the couple/character ofyour choice

3rd Place; Drawing of character/couple of your choice

Final Note

If you do not send me a PM with a link to your story, I will most likely never read it. So, please send it to me. Also, if you have any questions, leave a review and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks! I look forward to reading all of your entries soon. And remember; use your brain.

Sincerely, Zenaga the Serpent
