THIRST: A Vampfic Contest

because we can never get enough

Did you devour Midnight Sun but still want MORE? So. Do. We.

Give us your Vampwards. Hero? Villain? Somewhere in between? You decide. We want them all.

· Dark, dramatic, and delicious? Bring it on!

· Campy vampy? Yeah, baby!

· Protective, canon, waited-forever-for-love vampire? Um... yes, please!

We have a THIRST, and we want YOU to help us quench it.

________________________________________

This is a one-shot contest.

All entries must include Vampire Edward, but he does not have to be the main character.

All entries must tell a complete story, not just the first chapter of a multi-chapter fic. This criteria is not intended to limit you from expanding after the contest. Please expand your story within the scope of the one-shot instead of outside it.

PLEASE NOTE: The judging criteria will be weighted most heavily on: Is the one-shot clearly a complete story? What is the quality of the editing/beta work?
