Affiliates: Slash Backslash One Shot Contest

Slash Backslash One-Shot Contest

Hosted by: Pastiche Pen and AngstGoddess003

*Ahem.*

The premise for this contest is that PastyP and AngstyG basically, pretty much, kinda-sorta-maybe... want more boy love. More Edward slash peen. More Jasper bent over. More soft Carlisle kisses against scruffy chins. (Pastiche wouldn't mind more pack stuff, either. Angst wouldn't mind more vamp stuff.) You get it. Also a general sweep of our fandom's slash shows that there's like zero vampire boy slash, not much pack slash, and while JasperxEdward seems to be doing okay, well... we quite simply want more.

More more more, om nom nom.

We're greedy that way. Anyhoo, we're specifically being not-picky about this contest--Twilight needs more slash. Period. So, purty plez, be creative, push the envelope. There's no lemon requirement--though we like them (the good ones). Naturally, the two of us like dark, angsty shit with a dose of humor--but we're also looking to blow these pairings. I mean blow the genre WIDE OPEN. Dammit. Still sounds pervy. Fuck. Anyhoo, this time round, we're only doing the boys. If you have multiple boys in mind, please send them to TwiSlash Unveiled, which is hosting a contest for polyamory right now. We'll have public voting and some judges picks. AG will make the winners some nifty banners. And your slash will drooled over by many. Especially... us.
