| What! A Contest centered around people who AREN'T the Cullens? STFU. But it's true! - Quote :
- Premise of Contest:
Why is it that the main "A-list" Twi characters are often the only ones that get to enjoy smokin' hot times while the other characters have to sit back and watch? Often, they don't even get to watch! With the "Love for the Unloved" contest, we are putting an end to this cruel practice. Let's give those "B-list" characters some love and time in the spot light!
How are we defining "A" or "B" list characters?
"A-list" characters: Edward, Bella, Renesmee, Jacob, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, & Esme.
"B-list" characters: Anyone not mentioned above, but obviously mentioned in the books. "B-list" characters can be as 'minor' as Ms. Cope to as well known as Victoria. For those looking for character ideas, feel free to visit these web sites: The Twilight Saga Wiki: http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Twilight_Saga_Characters and The Twilight Lexicon: http://www.twilightlexicon.com/the-lexicon/character-bios

- Rules:
Your one-shot (o/s) story must feature a "B-lister" as your main character, and we encourage that character to have some luvin' with another "B-lister" (i.e. Jessica & Angela, Charlie & Ms. Cope). While the premise of the contest is to highlight "B-list" bench-warmers, you may write a story containing an "A-list character" so long as they are partnered with a "B-lister" (i.e. Sam & Bella). However, if you are partnering with an "A-list" character, your o/s must solely be written from the "B-lister's" point of view. No exceptions!
Submission entries can be human, vamp, alternative universe, crackfic, etc... However, they must abide by the following standards:
-Must be M rated and include a smut/lemon scene in which the "B-lister" is an active participant. (As people under 18 are not allowed to read M-rated fic, we will not accept submissions from those underage.)
-Must be a o/s that is a NEW story. Your story cannot be continued until the contest is over. In addition, your entry cannot be a side-shot or outtake from any on-going/completed fic. It has to be a stand alone/original piece.
-Your story's word count must be between 3000-7500 words. Please stay in this word limit range.
-There are no genre requirements; however, stories with themes of rape, incest, pedophilia, mutilation, torture, kidnapping, or forced submission will NOT be accepted. This includes physical/verbal/sexual abuse guised as smut. If it isn't consensual, we are absolutely not interested.
-Please consider spelling, grammar, and character development. Entries with too many grammatical/punctuation/spelling/sentence structure errors will not be accepted. Betas are beautiful people, get to know one. You can also check out Project Team Beta: http://community.livejournal.com/ptb_twilight/389.html
-Collaborations are acceptable.
-Maximum of 2 entries per person.
-All entries must be posted on Fanfiction.net. Once you have posted your story, submit the link via a private message to the "Love for the Unloved" profile for entrance into the contest.
New writers are encouraged to enter the contest. Please indicate if this is your first piece of fan fiction when submitting your story.
