Yes, a contest. :3

As the name implies, it involves some guessing on your part. A group of four authors (all four of them very talented, I might add) from the Tokyo Mew Mew fandom plus myself have banded together in a sort of Dream Team (heh x3) to write a collaborative fanfic and to host this contest.

This fic will attempt to feature each of our personal favourite pairings and will (hopefully) have equal helpings of action, drama, romance, angst and fluff. (We're all really excited about the story and can't wait to get really into writing it. ^^) But enough about the fic; let's move on to the basis for the contest.

Contest Description

The idea behind this whole endeavour was that each author has a distinct style of writing. We are curious as to exactly how different each of these styles is. So, here's where you lovely people come in:

Each chapter of the fic will be written by one of the five authors in the group (the full list of participating authors will be provided below :3). Your job, as each chapter is published, is to guess which of the five authors wrote the last chapter (new installments of the story as well as all updates about the contest will be posted as new chapters here). We will not necessarily be writing in the same order each time, but each author will end up writing around the same number of chapters. Each person will have one guess per chapter. The answers of which author wrote which chapter will all be revealed at the same time once the story has been completed and fully published and everyone has had time to complete their guesses. All guesses will then be tallied, and the person with the most correct guesses overall will be the winner.

Rules

As I mentioned before, each person can only submit one guess per chapter, so think carefully before you post your guess on the reviews page (taking a look other fics by each of the participating authors to get an idea of their style of writing might be a good idea), and make sure that if you also want to review a chapter, you include your guess with your review. We'd suggest that you don't share your guesses with each other as it descreases everyone's chances of winning and admittedly takes most of the fun out of it. Once the final chapter of the fic has been published, we will set a deadline; guesses will only be accepted up to this deadline. Any guesses submitted after the deadline will not be counted.

Prize

Aforementioned winner of the contest will receive a oneshot written for them by any of the authors that helped write the contest fanfic (you can pick one of us or all, or leave the decision as to who writes it up to us). You will be allowed to choose the pairing, setting, theme – basically any aspect of it you wish, or leave the plot entirely up to us.

Participating Authors

And now, presenting our 'Dream Team' (in alphabetical order):

Essence of Gold

GypsyxSilent (me x3)

Kiichigo-chan

Saba's Reflection

True Colours

The author we've elected to go first is working on the first chapter as we speak, so expect updates soon. As mentioned before, all five of us are very excited to be writing this fic together, and we hope all of you decide to take part in this contest and have fun with it. ^^

Happy guessing!
