Pick and Choose

Hello! I’m Nikko, and I’m here hosting my first contest in the history of ever. I’m anxious, but excited. So, here we go!

the contest.

So, here’s the gist of it all. Pick a song, pick an emotion, write a oneshot or twoshot based around those two. Pick any song you want, any at all, and pick any emotion you want. The emotion does not have to match the song – if you can make it work by picking happy and Cancer by My Chemical Romance, then go for it! I encourage you. But that’s all you need to do: pick a song, any song, and then pick an emotion, and then write a oneshot or twoshot based around the two.

setting things straight.
(this also doubles as the rules)

• All Mibba rules apply, of course.
•Any rating is okay with me!
• Anything and everything is accepted – this can be fanfic or original, and it can be any genre you want.
• It would be really cool if you had a layout. Pre-made or custom, I don’t mind. I know some people can’t make them, or get twisted and turned around with the layout maker, but Mibbians are sweethearts, and you can always ask one of us if you need to.
• About the layout: Please make sure it’s readable! If I can’t read, I’ll have to go to default layout, and that kinda defeats the purpose, right?
• Please have a link to this contest in the summary.
• Again, anything and everything is okay – het, slash, genderswap, transgender – any sort of “triggering” actions – any sort of anything. Just rate accordingly!
• Minimum word count is 500. There is no maximum, but if you have a really long one or twoshot (like 20 or 30K), it’s going to take me a little bit to read. Remember! It's one or twoshots!
• Please let me know if you change your username or choose to drop out!
• I will comment on every entry.
•You can enter more than once! But you can only win once, too!
•More than one person can use the same song or emotion!
• Have fun, you guys! That’s what this is all about.

the deadlines.

To enter: None! Enter whenever!
To submit: June 27th – extensions will certainly be given if needed. Don’t be afraid to ask!
