The SM:TMT Writing Contest!!!

        "Because of the high demand of new episodes and the limiting of our time, Michelle and I have decided to hold a writing contest. The grand prize is: to have your greatest desire granted for free!!!"
        Michelle elbowed her partner in the gut and took over as Cheryl lay on the floor, gasping. "You DOLT!!! The grand prize is to become like me, one of the immortals of the heavens above, for I, the all-powerful author goddess Michelle, have the power over life and death! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!"
        Cheryl, with a 'nyah' expression on her face, tapped her partner on the shoulder. "Ahem, what happened to the word 'partner'?!?!"
        "Eh... well... you're somewhere in the picture too, I suppose."
        "You SUPPOSE?!?!"
        "Here are the rules below... Cheryl'll explain them as soon as I finish beating the crap out of her(my so-called partner), and I'm making up the actual contest." *NOTE- The contest officially will end on March 15th, but if it should be closed sooner due to great number of entries than we can handle, we will be closing it with a week of notice.

    The Rules

  1. You MUST have an e-mail address.
  2. You have to answer every single question in the contest below.
  3. Threatening the current authors will NOT win you the prize. (Michelle: Although a little bit of praise and worship might get you somewhere...)((no comment) -Cheryl)

    Explanation of the Rules

  1. Basically, it's a lot easier for us to keep in contact if we have a way to reach you. (Sorry, no daily calls to another country to keep in touch.)
  2. Hmm.... now this is a tough one to explain.
  3. Well.... ^_^;;;;

    Guidelines to Writing a Good Episode

  1. Use (moderate) violence in your writing.
  2. Follow the 10 Commandments of Sailor Moon Fanfic Writing for help.
  3. Establishing your place as an all-powerful author god(dess) is good.
  4. Be creative and funny.
  5. Send Cheryl-sama $100 in US currency as tribute. (Michelle: CHERYL!!!!)(What? -Cheryl)
  6. Use good grammar and spelling.
  7. No hentai/ecchi/lemon scenes, and don't even come close.
  8. Keep the language mildly clean.
  9. Have fun.

    Explanation of the Guidelines

  1. Things like beating the crap out of someone and malleting them into space is good. Using very graphic punches and kicks are bad. So, safe violence is okay, but keep the bloodlust down.
  2. Don't forget that I changed the commandments. ^_^ You don't have to follow them (we don't) but for inspiration...
  3. Well, if you're going to become one of us... we have to see how you act with us. But you don't have to completely introduce yourself in the contest, or anything like that.
  4. This is kind of the important part... you don't have to be the Lord of Laughter, but we have a tendency to stamp out the serious scenes. You don't have to introduce a new concept or pile the lines with puns... got the idea? ^_^
  5. Okay! Okay! (Still dizzy from getting the crap beaten out of her) Just kidding!
  6. It's kind of self-explanitory... A few mistakes are okay, just make sure you use capitals and punctuation where they should be. A spellcheck/grammarcheck is good here.
  7. We rated this site somewhere around a PG... please try to keep it around there.
  8. Same as #7- some language is okay, but don't get into the habit of using strong explicitives, and don't use it in every line.
  9. This is the whole point of SM:TMT!!! ^_^ Don't worry. Even with all the rules & guidelines, you don't have to follow everything to the bone.

Okay, here it is- the actual Contest. (Glad that Cheryl finally shut up) Answer all the questions & things in each section, and e-mail us at SilverRiver@usa.net with the answers. Start!

I. That Boring Area of Interest/Knowledge Check (In other words, how stupid are you?)
1. Who is/are your favorite villain(s)? Why? I felt like asking for no reason...no, really, why?
2. Name all the senshi that were unfortunate enough to make their appearance in Sailormoon, either good or bad, from both manga and Anime. (This will tell us of your knowledge on SM)

II. Main Stuff, Important Stuff, Blah, Blah....Oh, REALLY.
*Instructions- Write a continuation to the short episode the marvelous Michelle-sama has started below. I hope you have fun with it, okay? A paragraph or two (or three- whatever...like I care :Þ) would be ideal, but as I have just said, the length isn't really important as long as it's longer than about 10 sentences or so. Bye now! (Better do it the way I tell you; since I made up this question, I'll do most of the grading and ask Cheryl for her opinion AFTER it's been graded.)
       "What were you thinking, really?" Cheryl sighed as she put a hand on Michelle's shoulder.
       "Yeah, you expected us to be suspicious of him for a good reason? Get a life!"
"You guys still have a looooong way to go before you really get to know us."
       The readers decided to ignore the sarcastic remarks the authors (who have again found a chance to appear in the story) threw, and kept reading on.
       Okay, we're back to business. By the way, that camera lens-affair affected the Dark Kingdom as well...that meant those dorks in grey uniform felt suspicious too. Zoisite looked up from the pile of Sweetarts® he'd been sleeping on top of to look at a mirror, and saw a bright light forming in front.
       "What the [censored] is going on?!" The light eventually enveloped the resisting general, who found himself blinded by its brightness. Upon looking up, he was surprisingly able to notice that the setting of the room had changed to something similar to the North Pole.
       Zoisite started to sulk around. "Aw man, those authors put me into the story already, and I didn't even have my make-up on! My razor blade...my razor blade...I need silky-smooth legs..." a black rectangle-looking object appeared from the dimensional pocket and Zoisite proudly held it up, and read the name on it. "A product of Zoi® Corporation, Zoi© Smoothy. Cool..." he smirked darkly (well, what else?) and was about to use the razor blade when he discovered something very, very important....there were NO batteries inside that thing.
       "DARN! I forgot to include batteries in these products!"        Michelle ahouted from offstage as Zoisite glowered, "That's the price you pay for being cheap!"
       ""Oh well.....I'll have to do without it until I figure out how I can get back to my cuddly room and admire my beauty." Suddenly, a heavy fog came in addition to the bad weather, causing even more panic for Zoisite.
       Still among the confusion, Zoisite was able to make out a dark figure approaching him. Fast. Despite the fact that he was not a bad villain himself, he began to shiver in fear as the image grew larger, the face still hidden. It had the exact figure the authors were suspicious of before! Drums for the tension began to roll, and Zoisite gulped as the figure became more clear. It was... it was...
-To be continued-
*Just what could it be that's approaching Zoicite so secretly...eh...not so secretly, I meant...? In any case, after the contest is over, upon the announcement of the winner, Cheryl and I will be putting up the winner's version of the continuation to this story as well as our own. (Apparently this is one of the episodes, but I won't say which episode it is exactly....see for yourself, or take a wild guess.) We will be waiting for great entries, so have fuuun! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....::evil laughter continues::

III. Who in the World Are You, Anyway?!
       Of course we don't know! You shouldn't depend on people that much, you know. Therefore, if you have done I and II, make SURE you do this, alright? Otherwise you'll really, really regret it! (No, we're too busy to go after your star seeds, dream mirror or whatever. It'll just be at your own expense without us interfering at all...I'm talking about the TIME you put into this contest!!)
1. What's your name? Tell us!
2. Your e-mail address? Come on, you KNOW you gotta have one if you read the rules!
3. How old are you? Actually, just tell us your birthday, with the year and all, will you?
4. Are you male, female, or none of the above? (Hey, this kind of stuff is IMPORTANT.)
5. Is there anything we should really know about you that could affect SM:TMT episodes?
6. Are you entering this contest just because you want the prizes, or because you absolutely ADORE SM:TMT? (Please be honest with this question; even if you say that you only wanted the prize, it's not like we'll kick you off the list of winners if you do turn in the best entry.)
7. Eh... I GUESS that's enough.

        IV. The Tricky, FINAL Question.

       Who do you think is cooler? Michelle-sama or Cheryl-sama? (This is the deciding question on whether you win or not.)

        V. Okay, Greedy Brats...the Prizes Are...

       Okay, I finally decided to do the decent thing and tell everyone what the prizes are.......Cheryl and I got about 6 entries so far. Keep turning them in!

       First Prize Winner: Becoming one of SM:TMT authors, plus 4 episodes of any SM episodes that I(eh, Michelle, that is....) own. (Let's see...I have the last 8 episodes or so of R series subbed, the movies, and the rest are just raw-japanese....the last 3 eps. of S, episodes 163-166, 175-200.) & SM cards.
       Second Prize Winner: 4 episodes of any of the SM episodes that I own OR cards.
       Third Prize Winner: Whatever the second prize winner didn't choose.
