Cadance Is A Terrible Mom - 2021 Competition · 2:52am Mar 26th, 2021

Greetings everyone with a (hopefully) healthy relationship with their parents! I bring a a few questions for all of you, from the creator of this competition, Muggonny: Do you like Cadance? Do you also enjoy seeing her struggling to provide her best? Well, I have the solution for you:

CADANCE IS A TERRIBLE MOM!

2021 COMPETITION

This contest doesn't exist because we hate Cadance. It exists because we enjoy making her and those around her suffer. So, why not turn it into a friendly competition? Flurry Heart is without a doubt a character. Whether said character is likable is up for debate, but that's where we come into the picture. Write a story about Cadance having a difficult time being a parent, and go as crazy as you wish with it. The story can have a stupid ending, or the story could have a heartwarming ending. Just remind all of us why Cadance is a trash mom and you're all set!

RULES

1. No Mature stories. Yeah, your edgy humor may be slick, but we only want some wholesome fics about Cadance being a bad mom. T is the highest rating you can pick.

2. No Fetish tags. Dear lord, does this even need to be a rule?

3. No child abuse. Again, we want funny. The whole squad will be laughing until child abuse is brought up.

4. Maximum word count is 5,000. Minimum is 1,000. PM one of the judges if your story surpasses this word cap but you still want to enter the contest. If the word count succession is within reason, we'll work with you.

5. Stories must be published after March 25th and must be submitted to the Cadance Is A Terrible Mom - 2021 Competition group before April 25th at 11:59 CTZ.

6. Alternate Universe is okay. 

7. Up to 3 stories are allowed per person, however, you can only win with one.

8. Stories have to be funny. No troll fics allowed. We will allow the drama tag, but give us a few good chuckles at the very least.

Let us know if we missed something!

Now, if a competition about Cadance being a bad mom doesn't grab you, maybe the prizes will. 

PRIZES

1st Place: $50
2nd Place: $25
3rd Place: $10
+Honorable Mentions

Prizes will go up depending on how big the contest gets

And, as far as judges go, Muggonny has handpicked a few with some experience to ensure that stories are judged fairly. 

JUDGES

FamousLastWords

Description: A gay baby.

Not Enough Coffee

Description: Misnomer. Drinks tea.

Soaring

Description: Hasn't cried since Toy Story 2.

Muggonny

Description: King of kings. A swol boy. Still cries on occasion to remind his lessers that even a god among humans can shed emotions. Also, it helps him sleep.

And that about wraps things up! We look forward to reading the many stories about Flurry Heart going through a goth phase Cadance being a trash mother. Also, if you don't know what you want to write, here a couple of fics that you could use a references!

TThe Telltale Heart
Shining comes home to his loving wife and child, only... where's the baby? And why is Cadance acting so weird?

TInto The Trash It Goes
Princess Cadance and Shining Armor have to have a very serious discussion about parenthood. Not all ponies are responsible enough to be a parent. So, the two sit down to have a serious discussion. Very Serious.

These two are partly what inspire the idea. The rest is of my own volition.

Let us know if you there are any more we can use as a reference!

This looks right up my alley. Perhaps I'll get off my lazy rear and throw some of my garbage together to see if I can't win an honorable mention for "At least they tried." :rainbowlaugh:

I look forward to your submissions, if you submit something. :twilightsmile:

I'll give it a shot perhaps!

This is a terrible idea. I hope it goes nowhere.

5483704
This is a great contest idea! I hope it draws in lots of writers!

This contest doesn't exist because we hate Cadance. It exists because we enjoy making her and those around her suffer.

Aha. Ok then.

This contest still going on? I've never written a fic about Cadence before, so I may take a look at this

5494675
It still is, broski. Fifteen more days, I do believe.

5494773
Good. And as per my lifestyle, I shall spend 14 days saying I'll do it eventually, before using Day 15 to totally spam through a submission and half-ass it

5494911
Let's hope it's a day filled with genius then.

5483704
Imagine getting downvoted for being the contest organizer. ;)

5495041
Perfect! That day is tommorow! LETS DO THIS

5495041
The very late question, do fanfiction about Dean Cadence and Human!Flurry Heart count? Or Princess Cadence and Flurry Heart only?

5506343
Sure, as long as it's related to the prompt of the competition.

5506351
Nice, nice. I already wrote a submission into the contest, but I might just make a side fic with the human counterparts later.

DId the contest just end? I just finished my work and got it uploaded

5506386
12 tonight is the cut off.

5506389
Got it. Turns out, I had to join the group to enter a fanfic into it, and I forgot to do that

Cool let’s see if I can finish my entry using voice to text while doing delivery driving

5506742
Kek. Do just that it'll be funny.

5506759
I just realize central time is two hours ahead of Pacific time not one because mountain time is one hour ahead of Pacific time, I’m almost done with my driving shift I finished my story but I need to edit it because I wrote it with voice to text and F I submit it as it is right now the mods will take it down so I’m asking for a 1 to 2 hour extension please?
