What Do I Write About?
Summer's here and that means a lot of different things to us fangirls and fanboys. Maybe you're stoked to have a vacation from school or maybe you're just looking forward to hanging out with friends, eating ice cream, and catching up on your Wattpad reads.
But there's a dark side to summer. Our favorite TV shows are coming to an end for the year - or already have! If you're anything like us, you're already devouring fanfiction of your faves so you can get through the summer until our wonderful shows return to us in the fall.
We're calling on all fanfic writers to write a fanfiction about what happens next for your favorite television show. Do the characters of Teen Wolf get to relax their summer away or is there a new bad guy in town (It's Beacon Hills, so the answer to that is probably yes)? What's next for the gang of Fear the Walking Dead? And let's not even get started on the finale episodes of all our other shows! Summer's a long time to be without our guilty pleasures, so we need you guys to help provide the community with the next "episode" of your favorite show!
All TV fandoms welcome. Stories should be no longer than 10,000 words.
Things to Consider
• Pay attention to your grammar and spelling to make sure that your story is understandable and accessible. Format your story using spaces between new paragraphs.
• Try to convey feeling and emotion in your story with ample depth and detail.
• Make sure your work is original. Do not copy another writer's work.
With Wattpad's new multimedia feature, you might consider adding media to enhance your storytelling. Have fun with it, and don't forget to tag your story with #multimedia if you do choose to use it!
Submission
To participate, post your entry from your Wattpad profile as a new story and tag your submission with "fanficfriday" and "happensnext". The deadline for submissions is Thursday June 23rd at 11:59 EST. Along with a creative story title, please ensure you indicate the fandom or pairing you are writing about in brackets (i.e., [Teen Wolf]). You can submit one (1) story for this contest.
Dates & Judges
The contest will run for two weeks, starting today, Friday June 10th and ending Thursday June 23rd at 11:59 EST. The Wattpad Team will choose ten (10) winners, and we will announce them on Friday, July 8th (as July 1st is a Canadian holiday). To celebrate our favorite entries, the winners of the Happens Next Contest will receive a shout out from the Fanfic profile and be mentioned on our social media channels.
Happy writing, Wattpadders!
