Title: Calling All FanFic Writers
Post by: The Doc on October 18, 2010, 08:17:12 pm
THE GREAT BIG FANFICTION COMPETITION

If you are a fan of fanfiction and like to write your own then this could be something that you find very exciting.

Over the next few weeks we want you to submit all of your best stories to the forum as part of our latest competiton, where all entires will be read and voted on by a panel of judges and forum members, 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 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.

There are a few rules and regulations as part of the competition.

1. All entries must be posted by Sunday 21st November
2. Each entry must be posted in its own seperate thread
3. Entrants can only submit a total of 5 stories
4. Stories must be Doctor Who related, though can expand to Torchwood and Sarah Jane
5. Stories must be your own, not ones you found on other sites
6. Stories currently within the forum will be automatically included

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 one week period until a winner is chosen.

Get those fingers typing!

Just wondering, does this mean I can write a Srah jane Adventures story and it be counted? (Got one on the go from a while ago, and if I get a chance I might finish it...)

Right guys, im in a good mood and feeling nice so I will extend this until midnight on November 23rd so you have an extra 48 hours to get your stories posted :)

Oh, I definitely want to share some of my stories, do I have to post the fic itself onto a post or can I just link to it?


Title: Re: Calling All FanFic Writers
Post by: The Doc on November 20, 2010, 07:11:20 pm
Just create a new thread and put it there. Its easier for others to read if you copy it into the thread but if you post a link thats ok :)

If I ask reeeeeeeeeeally nicely for an extension on the work, you think you would let us submit tomorrow? I know you have rules but I really want to get the final part sorted and I wont have time to do it tonight. Pretty please with Daleks on top :D

Voting closed yesterday and a winner has been chosen. All the entries were really good and all the finalists were deserving of their place, but as chosen by you, the winning entry is...

In My Mind, You Are Starlight

As prize for winning, the story will be pinned to the top of the fanfiction section and be published out to over 1000 people via the main news site and the Facebook Page.

Well done to Adribetty394 and all the other entrants
