Contest Results

We are super excited to announce the results in the Fanfic my Fanfic contest. We were both thrilled by the quality of the fics submitted, and the inventive ways the authors paid homage to some of our the fandom's favourite fics. Reading these entries reminded us why we’re proud to be part of the Twilight fanfiction community!



First of all, we have a litany of people to thank for all of their hard work, support, pimping, editing and bannering!



The Judges: this contest might have more judges than any other contest in fanfiction history! Our judges did awesome work in not only scoring each fic in their category using a crazy spreadsheet, but also they were integral in helping us pimp.

They are all up on FanFiction.net

So go, read and enjoy!!

The poll for public voting IS OPEN, so make sure you read all of the fics and then vote.

The poll is located at the top of our FanFiction.net profile

Voting will go until March 20th

* * * *

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE READING & VOTING

WHEN READING THESE ENTRIES...

Please remember that this is a light hearted experiment where we asked authors to play around in these story worlds that we love so much. These FMF authors aren't trying to replicate the original author's voice or improve upon it in any way, they are just having fun revisiting these characters.

Of course comparisons to the original will be made, so anyone brave enough to put themselves out there despite that fact, deserves our respect. You are more than welcome to like or not like the entries you read, but as you can tell by the lack of entries we received for several of the fics, very few people had the balls to even try.

And with that, ENJOY these entries for Fanfic My Fanfic. And then vote in the poll.

About the Contest

The whole point of this contest is to ask authors to explore beyond the boundaries of the original fic.
Some of these entries might be missing moments that could fit into the story, and some might be completely different takes on the ending of the story. Some entries might take the fic into a whole new genre or context, or give it a new take on the tone or style of the fic we know and love. THIS requires authors to be creative and requires readers to keep an open mind. It is also what makes this contest unique.
Writers: go buck wild.
Q: How different can my ending be?
A: Your ending can be totally different from how the original fic ended.

Q: Does fanfic'ing a fanfic mean that entries should be written in the same "voice" or "style" that was used by the original author?
A: The extent to which you want to emulate the original author(s) is up to you. We're not looking for seamless replicas, just make sure whatever you do makes sense for your outtake/continuation/alternate ending.

Q: Will you be judged for going OOC from the characters created by the original author(s)?
A:The answer is... maybe.
We want you to be creative, and if that means going someplace different, we want you to feel free to go there. Just know that it needs to make sense to what you are trying to accomplish with your entry.

Judges and Readers:
We want you to judge each fic for what it sets out to do, not for how accurately it replicates the original.

Announcing the Fanfic My Fanfic Contest!

We are thrilled to have the authors' permission to offer these fics for you to fanfic.


Write a missing moment, pasttake, futuretake or alternate ending for one of the following stories:


Some things to keep in mind.
  • Can you bring something new and compelling to this fic?
  • Has the author left you wondering what happened to the characters after her story ended?
  • Could the original ending have easily went another way?
  • Do you constantly find yourself wondering how the characters lived before the fic started?
  • Would you love to write about what happened between chapters 14 and 15?
