Hello, everyone. To start things off, I should probably explain what this is about. In a nutshell, the
Shizuran-Project is having its first writing contest for its debut, just as it says above. The reason I decided to approach it in this manner is because the community is still fairly new. Meaning, it lacks readers and members. Therefore, I thought it would be practical to kick things off with a competition. That way, the group will have an example of what we are capable of, all the while having everyone involved, as opposed to having only a select few join in the activity. That's the main reason behind this contest; however, this method will ONLY apply to this release. Later releases will be handled by different methods in a later thread/announcement to come.
The winner will have their submitted piece turned into a graphic novel. Also known as a manga/doujinshi~ ^^
However, keep in mind that this event has rules that need to be followed. Just like any other contests out there. Here is the list. They may seem long but they are a necessity to this event.
Here are the rules:
1. This is expected, but those taking part in this contest MUST be a member of the Shizuran-Project community. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of this contest. If you are not a member, but are interested in participating, please read this
nanofate.us/forum/shizuran-pro… or this
nanohaxfate4ever.deviantart.co… and decide whether you are interested in joining, if you have not already. Anyone is welcomed to join and welcomed to take part in this event! =3
2. Expected as well, the genre MUST be yuri. Other than that, be creative~ =3 But, please keep things T rated or below.
3. Working together with (an)other writer(s) is encouraged since the entire community is about teamwork and communication. It is recommended to have six partners at most, just for simplicity and… preventing conflict(s) purposes. Likewise, proof reading is also encouraged prior to the product's submission.
4. Submissions must be a one-shot of either an original work or fanfiction that is new to the competitor's collection. Repeated works, or ones pulled out from ones that are already posted, will not be accepted. It is recommended for it to be the latter to make it simpler for the one(s) who will be drawing it and the writer(s) involved. The recommended length is 1,500-4,500 words in either plays/scripts or in regular story format that must be submitted to any admins/staff members (CrazyLikeAnko/Crazyla, Nanoha89-san/Nanoha-san, Sammie-chan89/Sam-chan89, Sha Yurigami, Kail-Mello) via PM by November 16th.
5. Once submitted, competitors are asked that they do NOT post the piece anywhere else. The winner will be announced once the piece is actually done and is asked to give a postscript/author's note prior to its publication. Once the visual version has been released, competitors are welcomed to post their submissions anywhere they like.
6. The judges will be the admins/staff members so other members and readers will NOT see the actual result until the release of the visual version. If an admin or staff member is also participating, they must pass on their right to vote to someone else of their choosing. This is the only exception to the "no members or readers are allowed to read the submissions" rule mentioned above. If there are not enough staff members/admins to vote, or there is a tie, random members of the group will be selected and asked to assist.
7. Have FUN! ^^ This is meant to be a friendly competition~!
Lastly, I wish you all luck, should you choose to participate! ^^ If you have any questions, feel free to ask via PM or simply post them here:

Now, my friends 2 little remainders about the
ShizNat-FanClub1. About the
ShizNat Challenge, please to all who pick a number don't forget about it, again this has no time limit but I'd like to see we reach at least 50% this year ;D and,
2. In case you haven't noticed there is a countdown in the top of the page, on October 31th will reach zero and then we won't be a super group anymore, so to avoid that points are needed (because I don't have a Paypal or anything) so if you could donate even one point that would be of great help, for that just donate them in my page:
Krystal-of-Nol.deviantart.com/… That's all for now, thanks... oh and keep spreading the ShizNat love!!!
