C/E - E\C

I'm hosting the CarlWard Contest for those of you who, like me, are disappointed by the lack of quality Edward/Carlisle slashfic in the Twilight fandom.

Entries will be anonymous so that it does not turn into a popularity contest.

Contest is open to writers 18 and older.

Entries should be rated accordingly. Lemons are not required, but there must be romantic feelings on at least one of the main character's part towards the other.

If lemons are included, then characters involved must be at least 17 years of age.

No incest, rape, or romantic/physical relationships between foster parent/guardian and child regardless of ages.

No more than two (2) entries per writer.

Authors may collaborate on entries.

Entries should be between 2000 and 12,000 words, posted in one chapter. Please wait until the contest ends before continuing as a multi-chapter story.

Entries can be A/U, A/H, canon, all genres accepted.

Writers may pimp the contest in tweets and author's notes and on other websites (in fact, it's highly encouraged and appreciated!), but MAY NOT divulge which entry is theirs. Again, this is an anonymous contest. Revealing your entry to others prior to announcement of winners is grounds for disqualification.

Entries should be beta'd and contain correct spelling and proper grammar.

Stories will be judged by myself (Capricorn75), DeeLovely60, WhatsMyNomDePlume, Savannah-Vee, and Yogagal for Judge's Choice and a community poll for Reader's Choice.

Entries will be accepted from January 15, 2011 until March 11, 2011. THANK YOU- SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Stories will be validated as received, and will start posting on January 30, 2011.

Reader's choice voting will be from February 28 through March 7, 2011. DUE TO SUBMISSION TIME BEING EXTENDED 2 ADDITIONAL WEEKS, THE VOTING TIMEFRAME WILL NOW BEGIN ON MARCH 14 AND RUN THROUGH MARCH 18!!!!!

Winners will be announced on March 20, 2011.

Winners receive bragging rights, pimpage on multiple sites, a nifty story banner, and my gratitude and respect ;-)

ENJOY AND GOOD LUCK!!!
