Genre: Any genre.

Rating: M only. Readers, judges and participants are all over 18.

Content Limitations: NO incest, bestiality, rape, pedophilia, or RPF. Offending submissions will be disqualified upon receipt. No second chances will be given if you breach the rules.

Continuations: After voting is completed and the winners have been announced, you’re free to continue your oneshot.

All submissions will be validated upon receipt for adherence to rules and a base level of quality.â Please use a beta. If you don’t have a beta, Project Team Beta or Sparkly Red Pen should be able to help you out. Judges cannot participate, beta, or pre-read submissions, so please don't ask them :)

We encourage you to pimp the contest, but this is an anonymous contest. Please don’t hint about which entry is yours. The same applies to betas, pre-readers, and well...everybody. Make Edward as dirty as you like, but keep the contest clean—play by the rules.

We'd love to see entries from new authors, so if you've been holding back, use this as an excuse!
