TwiSlash Unveiled Slash Contest

ANNOUNCING...

TwiSlash SLASH One-shot Contest Rules

1. Contest is open to everyone, including TwiSlash authors.

2. All entries will be anonymous to encourage unknowns to post their stories without being intimidated. Not accusing anyone of being all mafia like, but it's hard to post against well known slash authors without feeling a bit intimidated.

~All entrants are welcome to promote the contest itself, but not their own story. Stories may not be published/posted on any site other than the TU FFnet page until the commencement of the voting and the announcement of the winner for the category entered. THIS INCLUDES TEASERS OF ANY SORT!

~Any entrant that deviates from this rule will be disqualified and their story removed from the contest. In addition, they will not be permitted to enter the subsequent contests.

3. All entries must be a one-shot with a 5k to 10k word limit and must be free of any major spelling and grammatical errors.

~Entries not meeting these requirements will not be accepted.

~Entries may NOT be an outtake of a current story nor can it have been entered into any other contest. This is to ensure anonymity.

4. The SLASH contest will open beginning January 15th and continue to February 28th at 11:59pm. Voting will begin on March 15th and end on March 31st.

5. All stories must include a developed PLOT. This means a beginning, a middle and an end. Smut for Smut's sake will NOT be accepted. Otherwise we'd just read Penthouse Letters and be done with it. Slash, in our opinions, isn't just the act of same sex intercourse but the emotions that go along with it. We want mature stories, not just porn.

6. All entries must include a full fledged lemon that includes slash of some variety. We are TwiSLASH for a reason
