Winter is almost here, and no matter what you celebrate, it is a time of year to enjoy yourself…and write fanfiction! Authors Flyinglion and Muchcoffe are hosting a writing competition: The Death Eater Holidays! If you are interested in entering, please read and abide by the following specifications CAREFULLY, and add this document to your story alerts. We will be announcing any additional details, and the winner in this same story!
RULES:
Must be winter-holiday themed
Main character(s) must be death eater(s) (including Snape, Draco, Narcissa, Fenrir, Karkaroff, Voldemort as death eaters - and don't forget minor death eaters like Avery and Mulciber!)
Cannot contain graphic sexual content or other extreme adult content.
Must be a one-shot
Must be an original entry written for this contest
Must be clearly labeled as being for this contest (please PM both Flyinglion and Muchcoffee when your entry is posted, and please include a link to the entry story.)
Our scoring will be based on:
Spelling and grammar
Originality
Trueness to character
Quality of storyline and character exploration
Emotional impact (we'll do our best to be impartial)
The deadline is Christmas (Saturday, December 25), and the winner and top stories will be announced the first day of 2011!
The 'prize' for the winner will be, if you want, a one-shot written just for you by Flyinglion and Muchcoffee, with your specifications (must be in the Harry Potter fandom, cannot request smut, please specify main character(s), setting, and general plot/theme (such as 'Hermione's New Year', or 'Draco gets a Pet'.)) If you do not want this prize, please inform one or both of the hosts.
We will also advertise the winner's works by mentioning them in the author's notes of our next few stories, whether you request the one-shot or not.
Please pay careful attention to the rules. Happy writing!
(By the way, due to family relations with the hosts, writers Amela333 and ASF13957 will not be counted as contenders, even though they will be entering their stories.)
