    No Dialogue Contest!

    Yahallo! Here I am once again with a contest! :D This time with the opposite premise: no dialogue! This means characters cannot speak to others or themselves. Though, there are some exceptions as will be mentioned in the rules below. As for content, no restrictions aside from what the rules mention.

    The contest will last March 1st 00:00 UTC–March 31st 23:59 UTC. About a month to give everyone plenty of time.

    Here is the group for this contest.

    1. No dialogue or characters speaking. If you have specific questions regarding this, please message me or one of the judges.
    2. The word count maximum for this contest is 5k. The minimum is the site’s 1k.
    3. Any setting and premise is allowed: Pony, human, EqG, G4, G5, AUs, crossovers, etc. However, judges are only guaranteed to know about G4 and G5 canon. They may not be familiar with non-MLP franchises and pre-existing AUs.

    (Un)Happy New Yuri Contest

    (Un)Happy New Yuri Contest

    This is peak doomed yuri.

    Christmas, that time of the year when, just like St. Valentine’s day, love is in the air. Platonic love, perhaps, but still. And when love is involved, complicated feelings arise, and drama unfolds. In spite of this, the number of shipfics that are fluffy, sweet, traditional and where everything goes smoothly in the end is countless.

    Christmas, just like the average shipfic, is fraught with all that sappy stuff: hugs, kisses under the mistletoe, Santa and his gifts.

    However, for every Santa, there is a Krampus, right?

    The Verbal Exchange Contest


    Right principle, wrong character

    The beauty of having an in-house parallel universe is that you have the perfect venue to explore what-ifs and might-have-beens. Even if you do have to turn the character into a colorful horse or a gangly hominid first.

    This latest contest from FanOfMostEverything (that’s me!) asks you to look to those who never got a chance to make themselves heard on one side of the mirror. That is to say, Write a story in the human world featuring an Equestrian character who has never spoken there, or vice versa.

    For more in-depth discussion of the finer points of who qualifies for the prompt, along with the FAQ and greater details in general, please see and direct all questions to the announcement blog. For here and now, have a quick rundown of the essentials:

    "Misunderstood" (A Sunset Shimmer x Maybe-A-Villain Story Contest)

    Contest Theme: "Misunderstood" (A Sunset Shimmer x Maybe-A-Villain Story Contest)

    This is a contest about misunderstandings, and about shipping Sunset Shimmer with people who DON'T have to be canon villains.

    Yes, in this Sunset Shimmer x Maybe-A-Villain shipping contest, you get to ship Sunset with someone who might NOT be a canon villain, or with someone who, in your story, might not be the villain people think they are.

    Maybe through a misunderstanding, people wrongly BELIEVE at least one ship partner is a villain. Or the misunderstanding can be about what KIND of villain at least one member of the ship is.

    Sunset's ship partner should be a canon character in MLP or Equestria Girls, though.

    Dumb as Doornails Contest!

    Hello!

    Today, I am happy to introduce to you the Dumb as Doornails Contest! For this contest, I'm looking for himbos, stupidity, and bad decision making. The contest will run from August 1st to September 30th.

    Premise

    The idea is simple: write a story that features a stupid main character. To be clear, I do not mean:

    "Oops! I'm sooo clumsy! I just dropped this little thing!"

    I mean:

    "I used lighter fluid to put out the fire. What do you mean that doens't work?! It's a fluid!"

    The POV character does not need to be the stupid character (or characters), but the stupid character in question MUST be prominent within the stories. No one-off gags, or blink-or-you-miss-it type encounters. If I have to debate whether a stupid characters is involved enough within the story, then that story will be auto-disqualified.

    The "New Blood" contest: Second Edition

    The "New Blood" contest: Second Edition.


    This is where the magic happens…
    This is where the magic grows...

    Last year we had no idea how this contest would turn out. A contest that limits who can participate was a risky idea, never having been done before. But that didn’t stop it from being a blast for all involved, authors and judges alike. There were so many good entries from so many new authors that finally took a stab at publishing. All around, it was a great success and its goal was achieved. So, because it’s always more fun the second time, here we go again.

Competition » Imposing Sovereigns IV · 6:30pm Oct 29th, 2023

An esteemed pedigree of Fimfic contests has entered its next generation. That’s right, Imposing Sovereigns IV… has actually been going for a while now. Apologies there. :twilightsheepish:

But hey, better late than never. Fan of Most Everything here, announcing the contest to those who haven’t heard and reminding those who have that they have about a month left. (Consider it a Halloween fright.)

Per dynastic tradition, the prompt entails combining one of seven potential virtues and a pony (or pony-colored humanoid) whose leadership methods put that virtue to work. For more details, and to ask questions about the rules, see the main contest post. But here’s a quick run-down:

Rating: Everyone or Teen

Word Count: 15,000 or fewer.

Multiple Entries: Feel free, but you can’t win more than one prize. Remember to submit all entries to the contest group.

Prizes: Over $300 in cash between the top three and honorable mentions. The medalists also get a print copy of Oversaturation.

Judges: Myself, Olden Bronie, TCC56, and Venerable Ro.

Deadline: November 26th

Good luck, have fun… and sorry again for the delay.
