Rules and Regulations


1. A story may be entered into more than one category, but each time it is entered it is counted as a separate entry.
2. You may enter more than one story into a single category, but each story is counted as one entry.
3. You are allowed a total of 20 entries. Each one after 10 will be promptly deleted, not read over to see which 10 are the best stories.
4. Must be 5 entries in a category for it to run.
5. A story may not be entered two years in a row.
6. A winning story may never be entered again.
7. A story that has won a different fanfic contest may not be entered.
8. There will only be one winner per category, with few exceptions.
9. The story must be based on any one series. (See Categories)
10. In the crossovers, the story must either be a mix of two or more of these categories, or have only a small part of another series.
11. Crossovers can also be submited into categories under each series in it. For example, if it's a romantic crossover between Sailor Moon and DBZ you can submit it for Best Sailor Moon Romance, Best DBZ Romance, and Best Crossover.
12. Entries are only allowed from age 10 and older. Sorry but this is as a precaution because of some of the content of the stories.
13. In the overall categories, a story can't win overall in their series and overall in the entire contest. The person who wins best overall in the entire contest can assume they had the best in their series, and that the best overall in their series was second place.
14. You don't directly enter the overall categories. Entering your story into any other category enters it into the overall categories. The overall categories are Best One-shot, Best Multi-part, and (duh) Best Overall.
15. If your story doesn't seem to fit into any of the categories, go ahead and enter it into the closest match. Remember, even if you don't win the category, you can still win the overall.
16. Yaoi/Yuri is NOT ALLOWED, along with non-yaoi. Lemon and lime is strictly prohibited. If you have what you feel is a good fic, but it includes lemon/lime, then edit out the lemon/lime. It's probably not necessary to the fic to be descriptive anyway. If it is, then I'm sorry, but you're still disqualified.
17. Don't even think about flaming me or any of my judges/technicians/artists. We will keep track of any one whom flames us, and you will be disqualified from this and all future contests. Oh yeah, and we'll post your name and flame for all to see.
18. No trashing other writers, fics, or sites in your stories.
19. You may only enter your own fic. If you feel someone else has a great fic, and they should enter it in the contest, write them an e-mail informing them of this and of the contest and have them enter it themselves.
20. Be honest. Plain and simple.
21. No plagiarism. If we find out you've plagiarized, which is likely, you'll be banned from this and all future contests.
22. No bragging if you win or sulking if you lose.
23. I'd greatly prefer for you to give me a site address that links directly to where the fic is archived, but if your fic hasn't been archived yet, I understand that it would be impossible to do so (duh). In that case I've provided a text box for you to cut and paste your story into. If you do the site address, I want the link that goes directly to the story, not the link to the homepage of the sight the story is on.
24. For doujinshi, we have to have a site adress for it. Attachments won't work; copying and pasting won't work. It has to be a site address. 25. The due date to have the story submited by is January 31st, 2002.
26. If you're confused by anything or have any questions, feel free to E-MAIL ME
