Contest! · 11:47pm Oct 14th, 2015
Hey guys, this is Pegasister!
So, something struck me today; the fact that writing can never be perfect. It's kind of something that I'm in awe of, how there's always something to improve on.
Then, I thought, even though there could be some overlooked things in a story, is it possible to write something that will recieve no criticism whatsoever? Thus, the Nearly Perfect contest was born.
Prompt
Princess Luna and Princess Celestia grew up together as fillies... They laughed together, ruled together, and... fought together. A lot. Like, a good 73.2% of their day. But what did they fight about, exactly?
(If you didn't get it, you need to come up with a situation in which Luna and Celestia, fillies or not, ar having an arguement.)
Rules
1 - You must stick to the prompt. This may be in whatever way possible, be it comedic or sad.
2 - No Mature stories will be accepted.
3 - Do not copy other works.
4 - You must hire at least five editors and/or proofreaders for your story to be eligible. All of them must be credited in either your AN or Description.* I am eligible to be an editor/proofreader if that is what you wish.
5 - You must mention that your story is for the Almost Perfect competition.
6 - One shots only, although epilogues/alternate endings will be accepted as well.
7 - Link your stories down below.
8 - Please encourage critical comments as much as possible. Private Messages with criticism will not be accepted.
9 - Treat all other applicants with respect. There will be no bullying or taunting, else you will be disqualified and reported; criticism can easily become bullying if not delivered with tact and dignity.
*Max of 10 editors/proofreaders.
