So during my epically long drive from the east coast back home, I randomly came up with this contest and it's something I would love to do, so I thought it would probably be a fun one. Since I love music and writing so much I thought I'd combine the two. This one-shot contest has everything to do with music, so if you're like me then this one is for you. Please read contest rules/info below.
1. Author sign up will run until September 17th.
2. During that weekend, author's will be sent a song (randomly chosen by me) to be their inspiration for their one shot.
3. One shots must be a minimum of 3000. Any rating (K-M), any pairing, but Twilight characters must be the focus.
4. One shots must be inspired by the song (Please note you do not need to translate literally every part into the story, it just has to be inspired by)
5. One shots must contain one song lyric directly from the song (Tenses can be changed ex. "She was a seamstress for the band" >> "She is a seamstress for the band." and the lyric CANNOT be used as a character singing the assigned song)
6. One shots must be emailed to me no later than November 17th. I will then post every single one on this blog, along with a playlist of all the chosen songs. Friends and readers can comment on stories, however voting must be done through email. Votes in the comment section will not count towards the contest. One vote per email address.
7. One shots CANNOT be posted on any other site until the winner is announced. After that feel free to post them. Please feel free to advertise for this contest to get more readers here.
8. Voting closes December 17th, winner will be announced as soon as possible. The o/s author with the most votes will receive a blinkie made by me (I'm fairly new, but caught on quickly. If you'd like to see my work please visit my Game, Set, Match or Secret Life blog) to either their o/s or another story.
If you would like to participate, please email me at ossoundtrack@gmail.com with the subject line "AUTHOR SIGN UP". Please include a working email address I can email you at, or provide your pen name for ff.net and make sure you have PMs enabled. I can't be responsible for hunting you down when I assign songs, please make sure to give me the correct info. Any questions feel free to email or follow me on Twitter at MandyLeigh010.
