Contest? Again? Where?!



Christmas Tales In Front of The Fireplace.
Halloween has just passed and The Existing received some very extravagant, and horrifying entries. This time, we're changing the stakes, and we want to see the most heartfelt entries. After the scariest time of the year, comes the feast, then the joy of Christmas. That's what we want.

For this contest we want you to submit an entry based off of an original Christmas Story: Cullen Style. I'm sure you all remember Scrooge, or the Grinch who stole Christmas. We want it Christmasy, and heart-warming.
Rules:
1. Pairings: Any, so long as they are from Twilight. If you're going to do a cross-over, let us know first.
2. Slash is accepted.
3. Length must be 2000+ words. No max.
4. Lemons aren't a must, but will be accepted.
5. Collaborations are welcome and encouraged.
6. It must be anywhere from rated T to rated M depending on content.
7. Entry must be beta'd. Please leave the FFn name, or Twitter name of your beta.
8. We do not accept bestiality, pedophilia or incest. Come on, it's a Christmas contest!
9. This contest is NOT anonymous, meaning you're free to pimp yourself out this round.
10. Please, if you are writing anything rated M, let the readers know. We are accepting rated T entries.
We reserve the right to deny any fic based on the above rules. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
