User blog:Genda Koujirou/InaIre Wiki first fiction contest

Hello, everybody! I am happy to announce the Inazuma Eleven Wiki first fiction contest!

Please read every rule listed below, if your entry breaks any rule, it will be ignored. If you applied to be a judge, I'll contact you sometime in a few days to let you know if will be chosen or not (many people applied, thank you!).


 * The contest is divided into two categories, you are allowed (but not forced) to write a story for each.
 * The categories are Canon (for stories involving only characters already existing in the IE universe) and Original (for stories featuring original characters).
 * All stories must take place in the Inazuma Universe. Full Alternate Universe stories are not allowed, but semi-AU are okay (ex: change someone's gender, or make someone play for a different team. If you are unsure, just ask).
 * There are no genre limits. Mystery, romance, friendship-related stories... everything is allowed!
 * There are no length limits, but your story needs to have an ending and be complete.

Judging process:
 * Judges will read every story and unanimously decide on the best 3/5 for each category (depending on the number of submissions).
 * Those stories will be posted publicly and the wiki users will vote on a poll to pick the winner

Note:
 * Grammar will not be a deciding factor when judging stories. Many wiki users are young and non-native speakers, and we don't want to penalize them. Of course if it's clear you did not put any effort into spell-checking and proof-reading your story, that will be taken into account.

Submission:
 * You have one month to write your stories and submit them. The deadline is May 5th.
 * Submit your stories to my e-mail address: vargas AT love DOT com (replace AT with @ and DOT with .).
 * Submit your stories in the body of the e-mail, including your wiki username, a title for the story and a short summary.

Additional rules might be added, so keep an eye on this blog post! Feel free to ask any question, I might have very well missed something here.
