Nailah's Shipping Contest. · 9:58pm Apr 11th, 2021
Once upon a time, Nailah was bored, so she decided in her infinite wisdom to host a contest. Now, I know there's a lot of contests going on at the moment, so I'm going to try to make another contest. However, you may or may not know that I've held contests in the past and they didn't really do well. I'm hoping with the time that has passed, my follower count, and all of you wonderful ponies, that this contest will be more successful. Now, the rules.
The RULES.
1. Your story must follow the guidelines of Fimfiction to qualify. Period.
2. Your story must be at least 1,000 words long and no longer than 15,000
3. Your story must have ROMANCE. This is not a joke or a meme. You must have the kissy kissy face's.
4. You must submit your story by the end date of May, 30th 2021.
5. You story must include the word "headpat" or "headpat's" this proves to me you've read the rules. Otherwise, your story will not be counted.
PRIZES
1st place: 100 dollars USA.
2nd place: 50 dollars + Audio reading by me
3rd place: A commission from the talented Applejackofalltrades.

Honorable mention: A special one one one interview with me (If you haven't had one yet.)
How to enter: Simply reply to this blog post that you wish to enter, then I will dm you either on Fimfiction or Discord if that's possible with your pairing.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
You may pick your own prompt but NOT the characters.
I would love to enter this contest. Just to be clear: do we get to choose the pairing, or do you assign them to us randomly? The blog post doesn't say either way.
If we get to choose our pairing, I would like to do... hmm... let's say, Starlight and Trixie, since it seems like this must be ponies. If it's allowed to be Equestria Girls however, I have a couple of others in mind.
Also a question about ratings. You mention it must follow FIMFic rules, but is there a rating we shouldn't go for? Like, a limit to how mature a story can get? I'm asking because I know if there is an unspoken limit there will be those who exceed it.
Let's see what I get. Hit me up with a good pair, my dear friend! ^.^
This looks like it would be pretty fun, I'm down.

I choose them via dice rolls, sorry I could've clarified that better.
Secondly, it can be E, Teen or Mature. I'm not exactly SHY, but it shouldn't be pure "clop" there needs to be a story.
Also it can be ponies, or humans. No anthros please.
5495607
Understood. And don't worry about my entry. Even in the very, highly unlikely situation it went down the mature path to begin with, it'd always have a story attached. If I write something mature, it's erotica, not just porn.
And now I'm really looking forward to this, seeing what comes up with the dice roll. Not knowing means it'll be quite the fun challenge.
