Well guys, after taking a break from the Secret Santa I figured it was time for another fanfic contest. For all of you who have been waiting for the minor character challenge, well here it is!

By the way, for all the fanartists that feel left out in these challenges, keep your eyes out when April comes around. [livejournal.com profile] openedlocket and I are working on something new for both writers and artists that month. ^_~

Queen's Thief Minor Character Challenge

One of the best things about The Queen's Thief series are it's character, but not just the main ones. There are a lot of great minor characters in the series, but they don't always get the spot light. So, it's time to let them shine! The challenge is to write a fic that is about a minor character. Examples are: Agape, Gen's brothers and sisters, Irene's servants, the person that keeps putting sand in Gen's food etc.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.




1. Where to post?- To keep things organized and to ensure the sounis community isn't overrun by fanfics. Please post your entries in the [livejournal.com profile] queensthief_fic community and clearly indicate the fic is for the challenge This will just make it easier for me to organize the fics. When it's time to vote, I will post a list of links to each entry along with the voting poll, so everyone will be ensure not to have missed an entry.

2. Can I put in original characters?- You can, but please keep the main focus of the story on the canon characters, since they are the ones were are suppose to be writing about.

3. For voting, all contestants can vote, but don't vote for your own entry.

4. How long do the fics have to be?- Any length is fine, but try to keep it at least 100 words.

5. Even if you're not writing an entry, yes you can still be able to just read the fics. That's part of the idea of the challenge. I would recommend just going to the [livejournal.com profile] queensthief_fic community to check to see if any new entries have been posted so you can read them.

Also, even you didn't write for the challenge, you can still take part in the voting. Everyone is allowed and encouraged to vote for the fanfic they think is the best.

6. Can I submit more than one entry?- Everyone is allowed to submit up to two entries, however for voting each entry will be treated as a separate entry.

7. Can I submit a multichapter story that's a work in progress?- Yes, as long as your story goes with the theme, it's fine if it's a WIP.


The Prize

The prizes will be banners for the first and second place and an icon for third which will all be made by [livejournal.com profile] openedlocket who deserves a big thank you for doing it.


DEADLINE

March 18th- This should give everyone enough time, but I shall check when the deadline closes if anyone would like an extension.


SO GOOD LUCK AND START WRITING!!

Would the Magus or the Minister of War be considered minor characters?

Yay! I want to write about Gen's mum, but there are so many great characters to choose from. Indecision!

Thank you, Orange. I have a really fun idea about Gen's mum having to save him after he climbs too high while running from his cousins. I wrote a draft a long time ago, but I'm thinking it's a little long for an essentially simple action plot, so I'm thinking I'll restructure and rewrite it. I'm also thinking an ending in which she gives his cousins a "talking to" might be interesting. Wish me luck! :)

At first I didn't think that I would enter, but an idea just came to my head this afternoon, and I'm hoping I'd get something up by the deadline. =D
