SMASH! 2016 FanFiction Competition

[smash_fic]

 

Calling all readers and writers of FanFiction: The 2016 SMASH! FanFiction Competition is now open!

Come and join in the fun of SMASH! by participating in our FanFiction competition. Have fun twisting the canon or possibly disregarding it entirely. This competition is open to anyone of any age and any skill level - you don’t have to be a professional author to become a FanFiction writer!

You have nothing to lose by entering this competition, but could gain the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from a panel of reputable FanFiction authors chosen for their skills and knowledge of a broad range of Fandoms. 

To be in on the action write a ficlet (<1000 words) or a short story (1001-7500 words) inspired by one of the prompts below. A winner will be announced in both categories - Prizes are to be announced!

Never heard of FanFiction?
Are you someone who wonders “what if?” when you think about your favourite anime? Do you read manga and think “if only the creators had changed this…”?

Why not try writing your own version of your favourite story? Re-write the ending of an anime episode, explore what happens when enemies have to work together, or give a background character the spotlight.

The possibilities are endless in the world of FanFiction!
