In mother Russia, contests win you!

I'm not sure what I would make the prize yet, but I was thinking, who would be interested in a Twidash Parody Contest? We would take our favorite "popular" Twidash fic and make a parody of it. I'm pretty sure we would need the authors' permissions, but it would be fun.

Stupid idea, right?

I would say, lets see how the other contest goes first.

3202877 yeah let's wait until we've finessed one contest before we think of another.

3202877 Not a bad idea, but I kinda' agree with everyone else. Once we figure out the formula to one contest, then we'll apply it to another.

I wasn't planning on doing it right now. I just wanted opinions on the concept...

I already see a fic that I wanna parody the st out of.

I think I'll leave this one to the TwiDash experts, but if it does happen I'll be eager to read the entries!
I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should join the current contest. I have an idea that I want to explore, but I've never had much luck with small stories.

If this group were to do a contest that involved a parody of TwiDash in general and happened to encapsulate some of the tropes/events that happen in some of the better known TwiDash fics (i.e. Twilight's List, Spellbound Fireflies, Dawn of a New Day, Building Bridges, The Winds of Change, Winter's Warmth, etc.), then I don't think any permission would be needed.

However, if you're doing a parody of a specific story, then permission would need to be granted by the original author. I'm not sure if it would count as plagiarism if you didn't, but speaking as a writer here, if someone were to do anything with any one of my stories I'd want to know about it.

Amen to that.

That was the plan...

and I completely agree. That's why if we do this thing, it has to be done right with either explicit permission from the author of a story to do a p[arody of said story or a disclaimer stating that contestants' stories are parodies of Twidash in general, and not of any specific story.

3205074 I say go for it. If you don't win, at least you had fun competing.

Alrighty, sounds like you guys have this under lock and key. I was just voicing my two cents

The only thing that's really stopping me is the fact that I'm so burned out right now. After pounding out a chapter every two days for a solid month, I'm just... done. Well, I still have another two weeks to decide. Let's see what happens.

3207273 I know how that is. That's why when I came back from my hiatus, I only post a story/chapter about once every two to three weeks. I've got friends and a group on here now, so there's more going on.
