+Guidelines
The fic must have an original character with a significant role in the story. This does not mean that the original character (OC) has to be the main character.
Just because there is an original character in your story does not mean they have to be paired with anyone from the Gundam Universe. Most people think that having an Original character means OC x someone from GW. But this doesn't need to always be true.
For example, a good action could be formed by a guy named Cleo who happens to be the 6th Gundam Pilot. If you wanted to add a dash of romance you could get him to help Heero and Relena hook up.
Or maybe you favor humor. What if a pixie named Lila turned Wufei into a woman for a month to let him see the troubles woman go through day to day.
Or perhaps you favor a tear jerking drama. The scenario, Duo goes blind in a foreign place and a bitter dog ironically named Vision has to help him find his way.
There are millions of ideas that you can come up with that doesn't have to involve romance between an Original Character and a Gundam character.
HOWEVER
Romance between OC and GW characters are appreciated and accepted for this contest just as much as fics without romance between OCs and GW characters.
+Rules
1.) An original character MUST have a SIGNIFICANT role in your story. It doesn't matter if they're not in every chapter/scene as long as they're in the story and play a significant role.
2.) All fics must be FINISHED, whether they be one-shot, multipart, or an arc.
3.)At the beginning of your fic you MUST have these:
Title: Your fic's name
Author: Your name.
Category: What genre is it?
Rating: G, PG, PG-13, R, NC-17.
Pairings: Whether it be OCxQuatre or 1xR.
Warnings: You MUST let the readers know what they've stumbled into, whether it be major sap of NCS.
Copy and past this if you need to:
Title:
Author:
Category:
Rating:
Pairings:
Warnings:
If you feel it necessary you may add:

Disclaimer: I do not own, therefore do not sue.
Author's Note: Blah, blah, blah...
When your fic is finished send it to the Mailing List.
NOTE:
If it is a multipart fic please do NOT send to the board, post a link with the appropriate information on where to find it. If you do not have a place send it to me ([email protected]) and I'll take care of it.
4.) The subject header of your email to the group should look as so:
{CATEGORY} TITLE OF FIC
5.) You may vote for as many fics as you want, but I will not tolerate multiple votes for one specific fic from you. It is unfair to other author's who've worked just as hard and shameful to the one with multiple votes from you.
6.) Please take your comments to authors off list so the rest of us don't have to sort through chat to find the fics. If you dare to flame someone I will find out about it and I will not hesitate to disqualify you AND ban you from the list.
If there is a case of plagiarism there will be severe consequences and the Plagiarism Police Patrol will be your judge.
7.) Your fic may compete in two categories (NOTE: If your fic is a yaoi or yuri then it can compete in three. Example: Yaoi/Drama/AU).
8.) You can submit up to 10 fan fictions. If you submit more after you've reached your tenth one they will be disqualified. This rule is subject to change.
9.) Fics that were entered and won in previous contests can NOT be entered again.
This is a fair contest guys, enjoy yourselves!
