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

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!

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. Submissions will close on 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. Don't write a trollfic with the end goal to offend a lot of people. 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.

1st Place: $75
2nd Place: $50
3rd Place: $30
Honorable Mentions: $10 (up to 3)

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

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 are a couple of fics that you could use as reference!
