Thanks to Rauhnee Ranshanka, we have updates our contest rules, which go
as follows:

Fan Fiction Internationals

     Here's how this works: You, the public, send in your submissions or

 nominees, we will list which fanfics are in. After 20 pieces of work
have
     been submitted/nominated, you, the public, will select the best fan

     fiction by way of the form. Whoever gets the most votes wins 'The
  Readers Choice'. Whatever fanfic gets the most points from the judges,

   it wins 'The Judges Pick. Simple as stealing candy from a kitten?
Send
      your nominees/submissions to (mailto:SendTskeco@geocities.com).
Thanks!

 Contest Rules: 1. We, the judges, will not nominate any of our own work

  or submit any of our work, even under an alias. We cannot nominate or
submit any of our friends work. If someone nominates a piece of work one

 of the judges did, the judge cannot give their opinion on it. That is
what
                                    we call "Fair Play".
 2. You may NOT, under any circumstances, submit or nominate any adult
   work. If it's okay for your kid sister to read, then it's fine for
us. It's
                     called "General Audiences", "No Age Hinderance".
  3. You, the reader, may NOT submit several times when voting for a fan

 fiction, even under aliases. We can track your IP number, so please
don't
                    do that. It's called "Not Stuffing the Box".
 4. We, the judges, will give our honest opinions on a fan fiction. We
will
    not try to give any one a clear advantage over another, again, "Fair

                                             Play".
 5. You must submit or nominate a story before the 27th of each month.
   Drawing ends on the 30th of each month. Winners will be notified via
                                             email.
  6. You can only submit work that you have done. You can only nominate
 work that someone else has done. You must ask the author of the story
    you plan to nominate for permission BEFORE you nominate. You also
  must write a statement that you have asked permission, along with the
    permission email from the author. It may seem stupid, but it
actually
                      helps us from getting in the frying pan.
       7. No adult, blood, guts, stories that contain adult language,
     situations, and/or violence are NOT ACCEPTED. They must be okay
 enough to read to a roomful of preschoolers! It's strict, but it's just
a
  boundary of peacekeeping. 8. The winner of 'The Judges Pick' will get
to
     choose a topic for the fanfics to be nominated. The winner of 'The
 Readers Choice' will have the fun of making a rough idea of a new
fanfic
      for the submissions, in which every new entry will have to make a
 variation of it. 9. Winners names and email addresses will be put on
this
                                     page each month.

Thanks
