The Doctor In The TARDIS Fanfic competition is back for the second time!

If you are a fan of fanfiction and like to write your own then we want you to get involved.

Over the next few weeks we want you to submit your best stories to the forum as part of our latest competiton. All entries will be read and voted on by a panel of judges from the moderating team, as well as being viewable to all members and visitors in the Fanfiction section. The entry chosen as the winner will then be pinned as the first readable topic in the FanFic section, get its very own post on the main Tardis Spoilers news site, be tweeted out to nearly 1000 people and be linked to all of our Facebook followers.

To be in with a chance of winning there are a few rules and regulations that you will need to adhere to.

1. All entries must be posted by Sunday 26th June
2. Each entry must be posted in its own seperate thread (not linked to on other sites)
3. Entrants can only submit a total of 5 stories
4. Stories must be Whoniverse related, so can include Doctor Who, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures, K9 or original characters set within the Whoniverse
5. Stories must be your own, not ones you found on other sites
6. Stories currently within the forum will be automatically included, so if you have several already posted then please let us know which ones you would like to be selected for inclusion by bumping them up with a post to let us know.

When the competition ends, a group of specially chosen judges will narrow the best entrants down to three. The stories will then be submitted to forum members to choose their favourites over a specified period until a winner is chosen.

So get those fingers typing and make sure your stories are submitted.

I'll definitely put the first Torchwood Five story in for this. I'll try to have the second one done by the deadline, as well as an homage to Sarah Jane I've been putting off writing for a little while.

I'll make sure mine is finished by then.

Shows how long I have been dragging my heels with it, I was promising the final part would be ready in time for the last competition ;D

Hi
I wanted to know if we're allowed to create our own characters?

I believe, though the Doc may correct me, that as long as it is set within the Doctor Who universe, including the spinoffs, then you can create your own new characters. Some of the others have created companions and alien races etc

Post by: The Doc on June 06, 2011, 08:47:36 pm
Yep you can create as many new characters and scenarios as you like, though I would say to include at least one DW, TW or SJA character to keep it within the realms of the Whoniverse

Click on New Topic (should be on the blue tab under my post now) - type in the title of your story where indictated then post it as you would a normal post. The story must be posted in full on this site to be eligible for this competition.

Hope that helps. If not feel free to ask more  :)
