Hello, my dears!
I thought it fit to put ALL the contests together into this story, so here once again the first contest I held from 2013. The newest contest will be in the latest chapter.
I think the most important thing about a contest is always the prize, isn't it? So here's what you can win if you're one of the top-three;
Is there ANYTHING you ever wanted to happen in any of my multiple-chapter stories? Anything, really. Like – let me give you a couple of examples I could think of – the foursome between Ethan, alternate!Nico, Nico and Percy in Leo's World „All the Percybilities" happening after all, or some father-son bonding between Percy and Poseidon back in the day or maybe a version where Luke, Octavian and Nico decide to share Percy in „Welcome to Olympus High", an alternate turn where Jason and Nico stay that very first night and actually get to have Percy in the Purple Oyster in „The Most Sparkling Diamond", that one of the characters remembers something specific from the real world in „The Dream of a Normal Life" and tries to deal with that, a specific constellation of the crew taking Leo or Percy or both in „A Tale of Demons and Pirates", a certain constellation of gods that you always wanted to see with Percy but that has not yet shared Percy like that in my „Lover of Olympus"-series, maybe more input about the younger di Angelos or a flashback to how Sam, Trend and Sander were as younger teens in „Chasing Fireflies", something awkward that needs to happen in „The Daughters of Triton" like a jealous confrontation between Nico and Triton. But those are only examples I could think of. I'm sure you guys can think of more, I've gotten enough reviews concerning 'Aw, I wanted XYZ to happen', after all.
Now to the contest rules!
It's actually pretty simple. I want Nicercy. Write a oneshot, or multiple-chapter story if you're up to it, length doesn't matter, is can be fluff or smut or both. The only rule; It has to be Nicercy. Not Percico. I may trust my readers to know the difference, but still, let me get this straight for the protocol; top!Nico, bottom!Percy. Yes, it doesn't have to include sex, but such things are always to be seen in their interactions too. No whiny, emo Nico whose too busy sitting in a corner, crying because he's not accepted in camp and oh-so lonely (I sometimes wonder why all Percico stories I come across seem to include this plotline...).
You can write more than one story, you can decide if it's AU or not, if it's smutty or not, if it's long or not. All you have to do is write it and send me a link until Christmas Eve and if you're the author of one of the three that I enjoyed most, then you get to request something that either happens in the canonical plotline of one of my stories or will be, because of too much alteration from said plotline, be put as a sidestory.
What do you say? Do I have you attention? ;)
I hope I'll get some of you to join in. Because I think FFNet is lacking good Nicercy stories and I've read stories from some of my readers that were brilliant and made me question why not more people dare to write and post. So this is me, encouraging others to write Nicercy!
Greetings, Phoe
Hello, my dear readers!
My contest (rules to be seen below) has reached its end and I finally managed to get the nominations done - Christmas was a lot of stress, so excuse the delay!
I must say, I was positively surprised that so many participated - and honestly, all stories were good! (As the dear authors may see in my reviews) So first of all, I want to present to you the entries, all of them - so you, my dear readers, have more Nicercy-resources than just my stories (alphabetical order):

teenbooks4eva : s/9881129/1/Nicercy
Read them all - and leave reviews for those you like, because an author needs motivation and I for my part need more Nicercy, so show them how great they did. ;)
However, a contest has winners. That's the thing about them. And I am a total sucker for making many people happy, so instead of three winners, I decided to reward the three - in my opinion - best oneshots as well as the three - also in my sole opinion - best multiple chapter stories (albeit that of course is harder because in that short time, it's hard posting more than one chapter, but I judged the plot already revealed, the world presented, the character interactions, the writing itself of course, well, just so you know). Mostly so because I haven't even expected to get more than five entries, to be honest. So, with so many people slaving away on my demand and giving me my needed shots of my favorite drug, there are more rewards. Sadly enough, I can't let them all be winners, even though I wanted to, and I had a really hard time narrowing it down. But enough rambling, here are the winners!
The three winning oneshots are: "Nico and his Neko" by StillFalling Angel, "Christmas Wish" by MissVioletFlame and "Shadow's Damsel" by StackofStories! Congratulations!
The three winning multiple-chapter stories are: "All We Can Hope For" by ipresentmyflotilla, "Of Love and War" by beforeyouleavemetoday and "Third Time's the Charm" by Crispybaconlove! Congratulations!
So, I am certainly going to do that shit again, this was fun and the entries were all awesome! On this merry note, I wish you all a happy New Year (in a couple of hours, but that's the same). ;)
