✩ SHONEEN CLUB JUNE CONTESTS ✩
FANFICTION & "FANART" CONTESTS
June is often considered a month of romance given the number of weddings that take place. What better time to celebrate Shoneen Love?
Members are welcome to enter BOTH contests (but can only win first place in one category!).
REQUIREMENTS (FICTION):
✿ 500 Words Minimum
✿ Rating: Anywhere from PG to NC-17 is acceptable
✿ Can be AU, but not drama based (sorry!)
✿ Prompt: Include one of the following June symbols
- Rose
- Honeysuckle (DARE YOU)
- Pearl
- A Wedding
Prompts do not have to be literal, so long as we know they've been referred to - for example, Nino having "rosy cheeks" would count, and wedding does not mean that Sho and Nino have to be the ones getting married. Be creative! :D
REQUIREMENTS (FANART):
❀ Tell a "story" through one or more pictures - can be AU, but not drama based.
❀ Can be sketches, paintings, a comic, manipulations, wallpapers, or a series of AT LEAST FIVE icons - be creative with graphics!
❀ Briefly describe the scene (Example: "Sho and Nino go on a date and this is the moment they kiss!")
❀ PROMPT AND RATINGS: SAME AS FICTION CONTEST ABOVE
Additional, more specific, and personalized prompts can be given to anyone struggling in either contest. Simply email the address below with a request for help.
