Contest 1, Rules and Regulation's

IMPORTANT

Must follow the challenge.

Depending on the contest, this will either come in the form of a sentence challenge or a plot challenge.

Okay, this is the general rundown of the rules for the contest.

Must follow the challenge. Depending on the contest, this will either come in the form of a sentence challenge or a plot challenge.

Sentence: "I feel loved. Violated, but loved."

Plot: Miroku and Kagome get trapped in a snowstorm and have to use each other to keep warm.

If it is a sentence fic, you MUST use the sentence at some point. You can alter it slightly, but the effect should be the same either way.

For instance: "I feel violated, but loved." may be used instead of the above example.

Since this is a contest sponsored by MonkandMiko, a Miroku/Kagome fanlisting, the couple in your entry MUST be Miroku/Kagome. Any other couple will result in disqualification from the contest. Again, since this is a MonkandMiko sponsored contest, the entries will be posted on the group accounts on www.Fanfiction.net, www.Mediaminer.org and www.Adultfanfiction.net. They will be grouped together into a single story format with clear indications as to the author.

4) We would PREFER your entry to be a one-shot, but multiple chapter fic's ARE accepted.

However, in the interest of the time and energy of our judges, if you submit a multiple chapter fic only the prologue/first chapter (whichever comes first) will be judged in the contest. If there are multiple chapters, there will be a link inserted into your designated chapter in the various accounts that will take readers to the rest of your story.

LEMON AND LIME ARE ACCEPTED!!! As an owner of a Miroku/Kagome fanlisting, we're well aware that many of you are fond of angsty, lemony fan fiction and hold no illusions that many of you will wish to insert such material into your entries. Thus, NC-17 fan fiction is allowed. However, in accordance with www. fanfiction. Net's rules and regulations, the lemony content will NOT be posted there. You will, however, be represented with a link to the other accounts and brief warning as to the content so that ff.net users aren't left out. On the same thread as the last rule, please make sure to give an appropriate rating in your chapter so that younger viewers will not be offended. Thank you.

8) As this is a One-Hour Challenge inspired contest, your entry should take you all of an entire hour to complete. Naturally, no one will be checking for this but if anyone asks you, that's how long it took.

General Notes:

The contest will be scored/judged by the minions of this group and supervised by Megami no Eien, who will only take part in the judging if no conclusion can otherwise be drawn. The criteria is as follows:

– follows the challenge

– Miroku/Kagome coupling

– appropriate rating

– grammar/spelling

– plot/premise

overall enjoyability

Each of these categories will be given a rating between one and ten (1-10) and the story with the most points accumulated will be determined winner. A total of sixty points are possible. If there is a tie, as stated above, Megami no Eien will step in for the final vote.

The scores will remain confidential on the group and the accounts. If you would like to know your overall score (as well as what you got for each category) then send an e-mail to mnmminionsyahoo.com with your request and a short transcript will be sent to you.

There will be first, second and third place winners awarded and the rest of you will get honorary mention. Different prizes will be determined for each contest. For more information on the prizes check your UPDATES e-mail every Sunday for insight.
