Fic Challenges
It's almost time for Halloween! So what does that mean? It's fic challenge time! There are THREE separate fic challenges for the Halloween season. The rules are as follows:
1 - Entries MUST be received by November 1st to be counted.
2 - All entries MUST be rated PG-13 or below. R rated stories will be considered if it is rated R for legitimate reasons (violence and such are okay, given the nature, but ABSOLUTELY NO sexual situations).
3 - No Mary Sues.
4 - No more than one fic entry per category for every author. This is for quality, not quantity. This does not mean you can't write a multi-chaptered fic... if you would like to, please feel free!
5 - SPELL AND GRAMMAR CHECK YOUR WORK. Try to get someone to beta the story if you can. If you need a beta, send an e-mail to us. We'd be more than happy to assist.
6 - Send all entries to [email protected].
Prizes will be awarded to the first and second place winners of each category. The prizes for these will be a free requested piece of fanart (the first place winner in each category will have the option of having the ORIGINAL sent to them) from the artist of their choice (ChibiJaime or KayceeRonin). The first place fic OVERALL will receive a fifteen dollar gift certificate from Amazon.com!
October's Challenges
Challenge #1 ~ Tricks for Treats
It's not just Halloween, but it is a time for having fun... even for four mutant Turtles living in the sewer! The first challenge is to write a funny or silly fic somehow involving Halloween... the fic must feature one Turtle and revolve around whatever they do to get into the mess they are in. This can take place in any time (from the boys as children to teenagers). The fic must involve one of three things: a Halloween costume party, trick-or-treating, or handing out candy at either April's place or Casey's place.
Challenge #2 ~ Spooky Situations
The supernatural is a major part of the Halloween season, and it can involve our boys just as much. The second challenge is to write a spooky fic involving the supernatural. Two Turtles must be the focus and the fic can take place in any time. The fic must involve one of two things: a haunting in the sewer or a Turtle getting possessed.
Challenge #3 ~ Halloween Angstfest
No one said Halloween is always safe, and that is the focus of the third and final challenge. In this challenge, two Turtles and either Splinter or one of their human allies must be the focus. The villain must be something potentially involving the supernatural: the Ultimate Ninja or the Shredder's Foot Mystics. An original villain may also be used. One of the Turtles must be seriously injured in the course of the fic by what must appear to be UNKNOWN MEANS.
