The deadline for submitting entries for Fanfic My Fanfic has been extended through March 3rd.

Wide Awake, Tropic of Virgo, Paper Heart, 

Hide and Drink, and Scotch, Gin and the New Girl

We've heard that one thing holding people back from writing for this contest is concern about offending the authors. Just wanted to make sure it's clear that we have the full support of each author and a whole slew of judges and readers who are all excited to see what you can come up with. So go to town and Fanfic My Fanfic!

Catonspeed is my hero!

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.
