- Contest Specifics:
All entries will be anonymous to encourage unknowns to post their stories and put every author on equal footing.
All entries will be validated by the hosts to make sure they meet the criteria. After closing of the contest we will split up the stories, and start our first round of blind public voting. We will attempt to keep them at around 10 fics per round, however, due to a most-likely uneven amount of entries some rounds may have a few more than others.
The top 3 per set of voting will move on, if there are more than 10 in a round then the top 4 will move on. After all entered fics have made it through a round of voting there will be a final round of the top voted fics. All voting will then be done by reader's choice in a blind public vote on the NaughtyHeels Anonymous Contest profile page, with prizes for the top three fics.
1st Prize: Featured story on Keepers of the Naughty Sparkle Forum (www.fangsdeep.proboards.com), Signature Banner, Mixed Tape/CD just like from the 80’s, and whatever funny 80’s shit we can find.
2nd Prize: Signature Banner, Mixed Tape/CD just like from the 80’s, and some Lisa Frank Stickers
3rd Prize: Signature Banner, Mixed Tape/CD just like from the 80’s
