Attention All Fanfic Writers!
That's right, this is for all fanfic writers who currently have a story on TLR! 
I am going to create a new sort of fanfic collection, and every writer here has a chance to be a part of it!
Basically, I plan to compile a group of the very best TLR fanfics, and put about the 8-12 best of them into a "book" that would be about 150-200 pages long. I'll make it look really nice, with many of the features from the original fanfic collection, except better! I might even submit it for publication as a collection of short stories regarding Freelancer.
Now, for the next few weeks, I will be running a sort of contest. Most writers here are eligible to submit their Freelancer short stories to the contest. The rules for eligibility are:
1) You must be an active TLR member.
2) The story you are submitting must be posted either on the Fanfic page or the Fanfic forum of TLR.
3) Your story must be at least 5 MS Word pages in length. (Single spaced!)
4) Your story must be written professionally, with as few grammatical and spelling mistakes as possible. (I do want them edited, and they can be different from the version you have posted.)
5) The story must be complete. (Exceptions may occur, use email for discussion.)
I will be judging them, and in order for your story to be included in the collection, it must follow all of those requirnments. Your story may follow all the rules and still not be selected, as it will most likely come down to a choice as to which stories I think are best. By submitting this story, you are agreeing to the following:
1) The story may be edited for spelling and grammatical errors.
2) It may be published in a collection. (If that occurs, which isn't that likely)
If your story is selected, then you will receive an email on Monday, March 21st about it. The winners will also be posted in this thread.
Thanks, and the due date is March 21st, so get those emails in!
