Rules and Header Info

Your O/S must follow these rules:

This is a Twilight contest.
•Must be based on a prompt provided (See prompt page above)
•Must be between 2,000 and 20,000 words not including the A/N or the contest heading
•Must be a O/S, please no previously posted stories or outtakes.
•This is an anonymous contest so please don't cheat by telling people that it's your story...we will eventually find out and then you will be disqualified. Plus cheating isn't cool!
•Collaborations are allowed, but please remember to include all member’s pen-names in the entry e-mail.
•Any Paring is allowed
•Please also no rape, incest, pedophilia (unless it's 107 year old vamps with 17 year old girls), bestiality (unless it's werewolves) – you get the idea. You may not include these topics as titillation.  If your character has some past issues with one of the above, that is okay as long as it isn't discussed in extreme detail. If you have a question regarding content, please e-mail me at HopeSprings2012@gmail.com
•Any Rating is allowed. Lemons are not required, but are always appreciated if it fits with the story.
•Please get your stories Beta'd...if you don't have someone available to beta for you I suggest sending the story to Project Team Beta, Emergency Beta Service or Sparkly Red Pen.   It does take time to get this done so don't wait until the very last minute to send it in. We're giving you plenty of time to get it in. If you are still having problems just get in touch with us and we'll see if we can help you out.  *Please note if your story does not meet certain grammatical standards, we will return it to you for rebetaing.  Your entry must still be returned by the submission close date.  
•Finally the limit is two entries per individual or collaboration.

Your story must include the following heading:
