The Twelfth Bimonthly Twilestia Contest - Twilestia is Bestia

Group Admin

Knight of Cerebus #1 · Apr 4th, 2022 · 7 · ·

Hello one and all, and welcome to the resurrection of our Bimonthly Twilestia Contest series, and hopefully, this group. Now that I'm out of the dreaded quagmire known as Real Life (-dramatic music-), I've noticed that, distressingly, this group has rather died in my absence. After asking around a bit to see if there's still interest, I've found that there is still a demand for good cute horse cuddle content, so here we are, back at having these again. Otherwise, everyone and anyone is welcome and encouraged to participate by writing or judging!

It is here that we write a story based around a central theme provided by yours truly and judged by three members of our wonderful group after two months of writing time. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have once I've gone over the basics, which I will get to without further ado. It's been a while for everyone, so if you want to know more, don't hesitate to ask.

The Premise: In accordance with the theme of the show's end, the start of G5 and ~~my being dead for four years~~ this group being relatively quiet since 2018, this contest's prompt is going to be Eternity. Twilight and Celestia both canonically stopped aging at some point in their lives, and while Celestia and Luna have retired on the show, you can feel free to portray this idea, or Celestia and unicorn Twilight, or Twilight and mortal Celestia, however you like. Heck, you don't even have to involve them. Maybe Sunny Starscout learns more about Twilight's crush on her old teacher, eh? Go wild! Despite that, we do have a few rules that we ask you abide, which are covered under...

Limitations: Any and all content in the fic is legal unless the group rules say otherwise. Please check over the rules thread if you have any worries about content. If it's within the rules, it's fine. As for word count, our lower limit is 1000 so that your story can actually be, y'know, a story, while we will not have an upper limit for word count for these stories. Lastly, the story you write for this contest must be original. This means that you have to have never posted it before. Stories that have been written up but not posted are allowed. Reworks of stories written and posted two months ago are not.

Entering a story: In order to enter the contest, simply add your story in a comment in the thread of the contest. This is important. We once had an author that wanted to apply for the contest missed his chance because he forgot to do this step. If the judges don't know where to find this story, it can't be judged.

Judging: The judges for these contests are chosen on a first-come, first-serve basis, and there are three available judging slots. We do not currently host judging criteria, as in the past doing so has been complicated and invited drama, but we do encourage judges to give feedback explaining their reasoning in either a PM to the author or a comment in the thread. Please comment below if you're interested.

The Judges are:

1. Dawn Light
2. Big Bear
3. Mind Jack (tentative)

Winnings: As always, runner-ups for third and second place will receive an advert in the form of a group comment post on them. Second place will also receive a group post about its placing, with an optional interview from a willing group member. First place will receive a position in our lovely contest box, but because it's also getting a little crowded up there will more importantly be featured on the front of the group page beneath the description for two months time. In addition, offers of fanart will go to first place, then second, then third as they arrive.

Deadline: Entries will be due by June 15th, giving you plenty of time to write and a nice round date for us to end this contest and start the next one on.

Best of luck to all entrants, and enjoy the show, everyone!
