How It Works
You will get thirty minutes and a secret ingredient. The secret ingredient won’t be given until 15 minutes before the start of the thirty minutes.
Within the thirty-minute time frame, you must write a complete One Shot of any genre, pairing, length etc. of Twilight FF.
All authors will be required to write their entry within a Google Document during the Challenge. Each document will be monitored by an EBS beta, who will provide help with grammar and give creative feedback if asked to.
Winners will be determined by a point system with 2 guest judges and public vote. Entries will be anonymous to everyone except for TwiNet Admin.
How to Play
1. On the day of the challenge, challengers are required to check in at 1:30pm PST via Twitter @Twi_Network.
2. When you check in, TwiNet Admin will share your Google Doc with you, and you will also be assigned an EBS beta.
3. The secret ingredient will be pasted into your Google Doc 15 minutes before the actual start of the challenge.
4. You have fifteen minutes to brainstorm and research before the thirty minutes begin.
5. You do not have to write the entire 30 minutes. However, at the end of the challenge, the EBS beta will lock the Google Document, so that you will not be able to edit it anymore.
6. The entries will then be up for a public vote on TwiNet’s FFn Account.
Requirements
1. You don’t need to be an author of TwiNet, but you do need to be following our Twitter account: @Twi_Network. The link to the secret ingredient will be pasted into your Google Doc at exactly 2pm PST.
2. You must have a Google Account in order to edit the Google Document.
3. There is no word count minimum or maximum.
4. Obviously we aren’t looking for perfectly beta’ed pieces, but there is a thing called Spell Check.
5. If you aren’t 18 years or older, your entry must be PG13 or lower.
6. Collaborations are accepted.
7. Pre-writes are not allowed! When you come to the challenge, you must start off with a blank slate. This will be monitored by the EBS beta.
Do you have what it takes? You could be the next Iron Pen!
