If you've found your way here then that likely means you're here to write for the story! Here are the rules along with a reminder of the prizes:

A Two-Faced Charade Rules and Guidelines

1. The story must tackle the subject of cheating from a sympathetic point of view. Just telling us that it's a bad thing won't work. I wanna see why it's happening, and I wanna be able to feel for the character committing the act.

2. All entries must be a minimum of 2k words, and a maximum of 15k words. No more, no less.

3. M-Rated stories will be allowed, but the "porn" tag will not be permitted. If it's an engaging story that has a sex scene or two in it, go for it. If it's 3k words of Big Mac sucking off Shining Armour, you need not apply.

4. All entries must be new. Any story originally published before January 1st, 2018 will be deleted.

The contest will start today and run until the dawn of midnight on February 28th. That's two full months to make this work if you're entering.

Each judge brings different opinions and tastes to the table and if more judges are added Famous will choose experts from different genres making the judging process even more diverse.

Remember that this contest isn't so much about the cheating act itself but more of what the act means for the character in question. Why did they do it? How do they feel after? Make it unique, make it fun!

Feel free to message any of the judges or post a thread if you have any questions or comments. I will be watching the threads hourly to make sure any concerns are addressed as soon as possible!
