The results are in for the Take It Outside Challenge. You can find all the info here on LJ. Thank you to everyone who participated! --- The Take It Outside Challenge is now open for voting. You can do so here @ LJ (you don't need an LJ account to vote). Voting will close Monday 3rd August, 23:59 UTC --- It's been a while, hasn't it? Time for a new challenge: Take It Outside Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a fic where your main pairing must include at least one person of the ikkou (Sanzo, Hakkai, Gojyo, Goku and/or Jeep) and at least one person outside the ikkou (the rest of the male population). Acceptable pairings would include: Dokugakuji/Gojyo , Goku/Homura , Hazel/Sanzo/Gat , Hakkai/Gojyo/Ni , etc... Not acceptable would be: Jeep/Hakkai , Sanzo/Gojyo/Goku , Zakuro/Kougaiji , etc... AUs/ATs that include Gaiden characters are acceptable, as long as the characters clearly retain their own personalities and don't simply represent another reincarnation (judgement at my discretion). Any rating is welcome. Crack is more than welcome. You can enter more than once. Additional rules: - Minimum word count is 300 (there's no maximum). - Fics must be able to stand alone. - Explicit descriptions of rape and/or shota are not allowed (may be mentioned as 'backstory' or included as 'fade-to-black'). - You can not submit something you've posted previously. - Do not post your fic anywhere else till the end of the contest. Normal submission rules apply. The deadline for this challenge is: July 27th 2008, 23:59 UTC. What's at stake: The winner and the runners-up (the number of entries will determine the number (if any) of runners-up) will receive a nice banner to flaunt. The winner will also recieve this semi-transparent pencil board. How to enter: Follow the regular submission guidelines and mark your email clearly as Challenge Entry. Entries can be send to: minuswave (a) hotmail (.) com. What happens next: All the entries will be posted anonymously on the MinuswaveUpdate LiveJournal and readers will be able to vote. After voting has ended, winners and runner-ups will be announced and you'll be free to post your fic anywhere else. There will need to be at least two entries to vote. All entries will also be archived at this site. ~ Have Fun! ~
