Right, sparking from a debate over the new fanfic forums I have decided to post a contest. This is for writers who have never and dont really want to write fanfiction.

The task is to choose a popular book/film etc... and write a 1000 word fanfiction about it.

We need some fanfiction regulars to judge, say 3 and the winner will get 100 points from all competitors.

Hee hee. I like the idea of this a lot — and I'm a fanfic regular, so if you need any judges, say something. Although to be honest, why can't non-fanfic writers judge, too? Fanfic, like all other fiction, is judged based on quality and character development and plot — and people who don't write fanfiction are capable of judging the quality of storywriting.

Either way, good idea. Smile

I could totally judge. I write a good amount of fanfiction, and in fact, rarely write original stuff, but I wouldn't mind judging. Sounds like an interesting competition. Smile

No...but you could judge!

I could be a non-fanfic judge- or just enter if you've got enough of 'em. Very Happy
