Rules and Regulations:
We will be looking for somewhat of an originality to this challenge.
You can make the one-shots related or not- it's up to you :)
You must put "Response to Bhavana331's 525,600 Minutes of Channy," or something similar in your summary.
You are not officially entered until you post your story- or put this on Story Alert. (Please PM me as soon as you post your story, and tell me if you are doing one, two, three, or all four seasons :D)
I will need some judges... I will decide how many, when I get a good estimate on how many people are entering. (Say, if there were only 15 people entering, I would probably be good with 3 judges, but say, there were 30, then I would probably need about 6)
If you are interested in being a judge, PM me with your offer, and why you would like to be a judge.
This contest will officially start once I get a minimum of 5 entries, and I will let everyone know when it starts, by adding an Author's Note to this challenge.
You must have this on Story Alert, so I can notify all who have entered with future notifications, important notices, and at the end... Prize Winners :)
The last and most important rule...
Please, have fun :)
Prizes (Could Change, later. If anyone has any other ideas for prizes, please don't hesitate to PM me :D)
Prizes, we aren't sure of which ones I'm using. I will talk about them with the judges that I pick :D
And... of course, you guys have a say in the prizes... I will soon put up a poll where you get to vote on them :D
Now... enough of me talking...
ready, set, write!!
Hey guys :D
Okay, I've decided on the prizes for this challenge, oh, and the deadline has been extended, since there's so many chapters and words (41). SOOOOO The dates have been finalized!
CONTEST ENTRIES MUST BE FINISHED BY: December 1st, 2009.
The prizes have also been decided on:
1st prize: Trailer for one story of your choice on YouTube, Reviews for all chapters of one of your stories, a custom-made banner for a story of your choice, and a virtual gold first prize trophy :D
2nd Prize: Reviews for all chapters of one of your stories, a custom-made banner for a story of your choice, and a virtual silver second prize trophy.
3rd Prize: Reviews for all chapters of one of your stories, and a virtual bronze third prize trophy.
Any other ideas for prizes? Just PM me :D
There will be two first prize winners, two 2nd prize, and 2 third prize :)
So 6 people in all will win.

If I forgot anyone that entered, please please PM me, or simply review for this chapter- it would actually be easier if you just reviewed, since I've got them all in one place, then.
Any questions? Just review for this chapter.
One more important detail- when you finish your story, please PM me, even if I already have it on story alert, and I will mark you down as done.
If you aren't finished by December 1st, then you might be disqualified :( But if a large number of you are behind schedule, I MAY Be nice and extend the deadline for a couple more weeks :)
And if you haven't put this on story alert yet, please do so, in case I have any more notices to put up, which I probably will.
People- it still isn't too late to enter- you've got until December :) Take your time with this challenge, and most importantly, have fun with it!
