Win one of several one-year subscriptions! Enter the Unicorn Academy fanart/fanfiction contest--celebrating the debut of the radio play based on the popular web-series! (Read the story here: [link])

Many chances to win!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have already gotten enough feedback for this, so I am going to go ahead and go through with it!

The Unicorn Academy is an original series of mine which has had its fair share of readers in its heyday. It's still pretty darned popular, though the fanbase is not as rabid as it used to be. ; So! A radio play is currently in production, and is slated to be released by the end of this month!

To commemorate this milestone in my personal creative career, I would like to offer fans and newcomers several opportunities to win subscriptions!

and for recent art references!

There are two sections to this contest: a fanart section and a fanfiction section.

DEADLINES LISTED AT THE BOTTOM.

FANART CONTEST

1. The fanart must be of The Unicorn Academy. I will allow you to insert yourself or a fancharacter, but only if they smoothly fit in to the style and continuity. (In other words, no Naruto rip-offs or ninjas, and no rainbow-colored fairy-things.)

2. All assortments and pairings are permitted. This includes boy/boy and girl/girl pairings, as well as sibling-like pairings. Crack pairings are also allowed, and possibly encouraged. The more imaginative, the better. Though the standard pairings are always loved too--super bonus points for triangles!

3. Please include a warning if your art is adult-natured. I am allowing anything and everything for this contest. But I would appreciate it if you wouldn't post anything too offensive. And absolutely keep it within DA regulations (which, I know, isn't saying much).

4. Art that I have been commissioned is not permitted. However, as long as it is not part of an art trade (~aeriim, I am looking at you), it's free to enter.

5. You may enter as many times as you like. I tend to give extra prizes to those who enter lots.

6. Winners will be determined by votes and by one "Mippa's Choice" award. Prizes will be listed below.

>FANFICTION CONTEST

1. NO CROSSOVERS PERMITTED. I cannot stand continuities being fuddled together. I can take just about anything else. But not that.

2. Fanfiction must be in English. Any other language except for Japanese would be impossible for me. Sorry.

3. Original characters permitted. As long as they are not Mary-Sue's.

4. Explicit material permitted, but include a warning.

5. All pairings permitted. Slash, straight, etc.

6. All forms permitted. Though be warned, I am not very good at judging poetry, and I don't care much for songfics.

7. THEY MUST BE IN CHARACTER. I need to be able to tell that they are mine, okay?

Okay, got it? Good. Now, what're you fightin' for...
