Hey people!

I'm happy to announce that I will officially be one of the judges for the Generation 5 Bingo Writing Contest! Starting January 9th, I'll be reading entries, and...well...judging them. Like judges so often do.

I honestly can't wait to read the submissions, as I haven't seen a lot of good G5 fics lately.

Are you ready to make history? To write one of the first G5 fics on the site?

This writing contest has an unusual premise: each author gets a different prompt.

That's it! The Generation 5 Bingo Writing Contest is over.

Late entries

But if you haven't finished yet, don't give up. There's still space for late entries - you can put them in this folder. They won't be considered for judging, but they may still get some love.

I'm entering the Season 9 Bingo contest. This is a curious fic-writing contest where everyone gets a different prompt consisting of five disparate elements which are deliberately quite hard to fit into the same fic. I had been looking for a contest to enter and this looked like an interesting one (with a relatively gentle deadline – the airdate of the first episode of Season 9). Sure enough, it's been fun.
