Fan Run Contests!

[TheMischievousFox]

Every once in awhile I run into fan run contests, so I thought I'd post them here. Please message me if you'd like your contest posted!

Calamari's (http://www.tokyopop.com/Calamari) Fiction Music Mash-Up!

How to Enter:

1. Pick two or more songs from Calamari's List (http://www.tokyopop.com/Calamari/blog/1101176.html)

2. You can use any element of the songs, including
-lyrics
-tune
-overall feeling (though that's going to be hard)
-video (except where noted)
You can also go the boring way and just insert the song into your fiction. D:

3. Your fiction must use the elements of the song in a way that is recognizable. If Calamari can't tell which song you were using, that's bad.

4. NO SOLICITING POPS. If Calamari finds you soliciting pops in any way, shape, or form anywhere on this site, you will be instantly disqualified. NO EXCEPTIONS.

5. This must be a NEW fiction that has not been posted on this site before.

6. Any story-telling format is allowed from newspaper article to haiku to short story to novel. (But shorter is better. :D)

Deadline: You may begin posting on the 12/28/07 and may continue posting until the contest ends on 1/13/08

Most POP's win!

I think Cuperos' comment on the Waterstones thread has a point that the site is more geared towards artwork and writing tends to take a back seat.

This seems a bit wrong-headed to me in that for me the writing comes first and only then can you think about illustrating it (although others may differ on this...). I can't really draw mind you...

Anyway here's your chance folks: we can redress the balance. I'm thinking Haiku's, sonnets, free verse, novellas, short stories any kind of writing you like. Anyone with me?

I'm currently writing english versions of anime songs (to dub). I'd be interested if the song list included any.

(so far i've done byakuya true light)

and as for the already made english songs, i'm singing yume no tusubasa duet ( plannng to do the male part) (all the youtube ones are depressingly bad so i just wanted a proper one out there)

and running a comp on that (who can do the female part well comp).

Should the fan comps be pride/title prizes only or would tp help the runners give out prizes from their stock (if its to their benifit)

I'm only talking in the context outside the above because It said fan run contests, instead of a name completely exclusive to the comp. Delete it if its that bad. But yeh...comps like the above should be more common.
