OBS Affiliate the Host fan has launched a fun and innovative fan fiction writing contest, with an awesome prize!

Having trouble finding the bonus chapter? Want a copy of your own that you can read over and over? Well, enter and you could WIN your very own paperback copy of The Host!

Guidelines and Instructions:
1) Entrants shall write a fanfic for The Host in which you describe -in detail- the ultimate kiss. The kiss can be lovely/romantic/passionate/sexy/dangerous/platonic… it’s totally up to you, but it has to be completely amazing.
2) The fic must revolve around the kiss or build up to the kiss (i.e. the kiss should be the climax of the story).
3) To enter, all you have to do is submit your fanfic at our subsite, The Host Fan Fanfiction Archive, and put it in the category “Contest: The Smoochies.”
4) Any pairing(s) are welcome and the kiss can be between anyone (slash or het).
5) The highest rating allowed is R, so that means no sex – this is a kiss fest, not a kink fest – and we want people of all ages to be able to vote.
6) There is no word limit, but the fic must be a one-shot since this challenge has a deadline. (You are, however, allowed to write sequels or additional chapters after the challenge is over.)

The deadline to submit fics is July 1, 2010. (So you have an entire month to write.) Voting will go up the next day here, at the main page of TheHostFan.com, and visitors will have one week to vote. In one week the polls will close and the top three fics with the greatest number of votes will be determined. The first place winner will receive a paperback copy of The Host, sent to their front door, no matter where they live. (This is not just a contest for those in the USA.) Second and third place winners will receive a banner made depicting their fanfic by the lovely Melody and all three fics will be the “featured stories” in the sidebar of the Fanfiction Archive.
