We are the Champions [Banner Contest]
Heyloo y'all, Iris here!
So the winners of this challenge will need a banner to put in their summary saying they won, right? So we're calling YOU to submit a banner!
Size: 350 x 100 pixels; about this big. Your banner should be able to fit inside that rectangle I linked to. E-mail if you need any more clarification about the size. (the.iris.messenger@gmail.com). Don't be shy!
Text: Twilight Archives Jane Challenge Winner
Anything larger than 350 x 100 pixels will be disqualified if it is so out of proportion to that size that I cannot scale it down. The deadline for all banner entries is February 15, SUNDAY. Please e-mail the banners to me (the.iris.messenger@gmail.com) with the banner attached in .jpg or .png format and your penname on the archives.
The winners will be chosen by a vote! I'll start a forum topic in the poll section and link to it from here, and you all will vote on which banner YOU think should be given to all the winners!
Have fun!

------------------
Hello guys! For those of you that are new to Twilight Archives, I'm Jacquelyn. :)
At the enormous amount of stories and great ideas that are rolling around on this site, I'd like to start another one-shot challenge. The theme is Jane. Take a peek into her life, whether it's in the past or present, and unleash your writing skills! Was she always the harsh, petite girl that was always ready to please Aro? Or is she somehow plotting her beloved master's demise? Was Jane the cause of the Volturi's rise? Or will she make them fall? Get creative with this one, guys!
The Rules:
1) Normal submission rules (must exceed 500 words, proper line format, spelling, grammar, ect.).
2) It must be in one point of view, no switching. Any one character counts as that, but only if the focus remains on Jane and the character's view point makes sense in the story.
3) Please stick to canon! :)
4) Your story must be validated before it is emailed to the mod.
5) Please include a short summary in the appropriate slot of your story along with the title of 'Jane One-Shot Challenge'.
Please submit all stories to these email addresses after they've been validated: dragontodragons@yahoo.com,the.iris.messenger@gmail.com, gabriella_523@hotmail.com, j3nny_b4by@yahoo.com, bubble_069321@yahoo.com,kaiwynn@gmail.com. Please make sure the subject is stated as 'Jane One-Shot Challenge' and be sure to include your pen name! We'd love to acknowledge all of your stories, but can't give credit to them if we don't know the author!The deadline for all one-shots is FEBRUARY 15th, SUNDAY. We will be announcing the winners sometime shortly after.
Also, winners will consist of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and two honorable mentions. On a side note, however, everyone is welcome to submit a banner for the winners (once they are chosen).Some Other Points (I thought I'd clear up):
- Poetry is accepted only if it is at least 500 words and the focus remains on Jane.
- All one-shots must be limited to a chapter.
- Writing perspective is not limited to third person (narrative).
- Please only submit one one-shot for the challenge. If you submit more than one, all but the original will be ignored.
- If there are any problems, with validation especially, please comment.
Have fun, guys!

By iluvedwardcullen
Posted 26 Jan 09
I love this idea! I don't think I've ever read anything in jane's point of view. I was wondering, is there anyway we can see the winners of all the previous challenges?? I'm interested... iluvedwardcullen xx

Yay, a new challenge :D And with a lovely, far-away deadline, too. I love you :) By the way, have I congratulated the new mods yet? I don't think so. Let me do that now. Congratulations!

Yay! New challenge! I just have a quick question - what if our stories aren't validated? Mine are automatically posted when I submit them.
By black2red
Posted 26 Jan 09
If your story still follows the rules, then it will definitely be counted. :)
By exgymnastbritt
Posted 28 Jan 09
ok i have a question.
can it be in like a narritive pov? or does it have to be from a person's pov? or like idk...haha. =]
By Iris Messenger
Posted 28 Jan 09
yes, it can be a narrative POV, as long as it focuses on Jane ... correct me if I'm wrong Jacquelyn :D
By Errina Cullen
Posted 28 Jan 09
Hmmm . . . interesting. i'm might actually try this one instead of just reading them.
By SpaklesInTheSunlight
Posted 28 Jan 09
I'll have a go at this one, it'll be hard, so I think I may just do it as poetry lol
By Midnights Darkness
Posted 29 Jan 09
An interesting idea. i might give this a shot. From someone else's POV.
By Moonlight Hunter
Posted 29 Jan 09
hey, is there a chapter limit? i mean, i know that most one shots are one or two chapters long. but do i have to put it all in one very long chapter?
By Stupid_lamb245
Posted 30 Jan 09
yes, Great Idea nothing better than a challenge...but about how long does it take to get it approved?
By YouAreNotLeavingMe
Posted 02 Feb 09
Can we submit more than one entry? Or are we only allowed to send in 1 one-shot?
BTW I luv the banner too.:-)

Please only send in 1 one-shot. Once again, Jacquelyn, correct me if I'm wrong :P and thanks about the banner :D
By girlysquirrelly
Posted 04 Feb 09
i think it would be easier to make a banner after the winners have been announced so that we can make the banner relate to the writing, not just a random banner... just thought you should know...
By exgymnastbritt
Posted 04 Feb 09
girlysquirrelly, you are brilliant. haha.
as are you, j3nn.
banners certainly are lovely.
jeez, we certainly have smartypants people here.
haha.
sorry. i just got done with the CA high school exit exam today, and my brain feels kind of like mush.
so i'm just commenting on how brilliant people are.
wonderful, splendid, yup yup.
By Moonlight Hunter
Posted 05 Feb 09
well, i'm done. now all i have to do is wait for the winners to be announced
By Moonlight Hunter
Posted 06 Feb 09
hey, i have another question. When we've submitted our entry to one of those email address's do we get a response, saying something like: got your email etc.?
By Iris Messenger
Posted 06 Feb 09
Moonlight Hunter, I've been replying to the people that've sent me entires, just to make sure they know the e-mail went through fine -- don't know about the others.
By SpaklesInTheSunlight
Posted 06 Feb 09
I sent mine to Gabriella a few days back. So may the best fic win! And Good Luck to everyone! =D
By exgymnastbritt
Posted 06 Feb 09
i think i sent mine to you [iris messenger] but haven't heard anything back...i just sent it to the email addresses on the list by jaquelin.
=]
By addictedtotwilight
Posted 06 Feb 09
I'm excited for this... I haven't written anything Twilight related in such a long time, maybe this will get me back into it. Then I can update some of my other WiPs... anyway -- Did you want us to send it to everyone on the list, or just one? Probably a stupid question, but that's just me. :P
By black2red
Posted 08 Feb 09
That's a good question, actually. Please send submissions to all the email addresses listed! On Wednesday 11th, I'll post all recieved submissions on the news feed.
By black2red
Posted 09 Feb 09
Unless otherwise indicated, only one.. :) Correct me if I'm wrong, Iris.
By exgymnastbritt
Posted 11 Feb 09
were you going to put up a list of all the entries recieved? i just want to make sure that i got mine in alright. haha. =]
By sketchygirl
Posted 11 Feb 09
I know the contest doesn't end until Sunday, but I was just wondering, how long does it typically take to choose a winner? This is my first challenge ever since I joined TwilightArchives, and I'm sure there'll be plenty of submissios to judge, but I'm just not familiar with how things work... =]
By j3nn
Posted 12 Feb 09
It takes about a week, possibly less or more... it really depends on how quickly we can communicate with eachother and pick one. They'll be announced in the news feed, just like the challenge was :]
Good luck with the contest!
By awsomealice94
Posted 12 Feb 09
oh, wow. i wasn't going to submit my story because i thought there was no chance i could ever be picked for a winner-i thought there were like fifty entrys! and i'm not that good so it seemed like a no brainer to just skip this one. but jeezums...well if you guys need another submittion, i guess i'll e-mail mine in the next couple of days. thats surpriseing-Jane is such a cool topic, i would have thought more people would participate!
