Contest Rules

3,000 to 15,000 words of any genre, any rating, any pairing within the Twilight universe.

We will not accept entries that include offensive subject matter such as (but not limited to) incest, rape, pedophilia, or bestiality.

Entries are limited to one solo entry and one collaboration per author. Whether you're writing for the first time or a fanfiction veteran isn't important - we just want your words.

This contest is anonymous. That means no one other than betas/pre-readers should have knowledge of which entry is yours. It also means pimping should be restricted to the contest as a whole, as opposed to the promotion of single entries. VERY IMPORTANT: Make sure not to publicly hint as to which entry is yours (including but not limited to which prompt was used, story content, word count, and when the entry was submitted) as this can lead to disqualification.

Use of a beta is required. Entries should have a good standard of spelling and grammar. Entries that are riddled with spelling or grammar mistakes or that do not meet the standards of our validators will be returned to the author to be corrected before resubmission.

Entries will be received by the secret keeper, who will then make them anonymous before passing them on to the validator. Once the entry has been checked against the rules, acceptable submissions will then be posted on the profile.

Submissions

Entries should be submitted to mistletoecontestsubmissions@gmail.com with the following submission header:

A message to our Readers:

Please keep in mind this is an anon contest. If you know the author of, or are the pre-reader/beta for a story please do not share until after the contest. If there are any mentions then the story will be deleted and disqualified.

In order to keep the contest fair we ask that you please pimp the contest as a whole and not single entries. All of the authors have worked extremely hard to offer up their words to you. Please leave them some love in the form of a review.

Thank you! Happy reading!
