Hello everyone! Here we are with our very first ML contest! We hope that we have enough participants for our first entries (it would be sad if we couldn't fill up the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd spots).

Our first theme/prompt for this contest is: April Fools day one-shot of your favorite ship.

Since today is the first day of April (for most), why not write a one-shot on silly jokes and pranks? How will your OTP get along today? (No ships are limited; all are acceptable!)

Some good examples if you're feeling a block coming along are Marinette and Adrien secretly setting Alya and Nino up on a date without their consent or Juleka pranking Prince Ali for taking Rose away from her.

Word Count: Minimum amount of words necessary for your entry is 1000. Maximum amount of words is 3000. We will need you to provide how many words are in your entry at the end of your submission.

As you write your entry, keep these in mind:

- Good grammar; a lack of this will lead you to few readers and all good writers strive to achieve good grammar.

- Make sure that your plot isn't similar to another entry's; original story line. If there are two that are quite close in comparison, we would have to do a check with the two and frankly, that's a lot of work on everyone's part.

- Appropriate content. Since there are quite a swell of young people in the ML fandom, it is always best to keep a caution. If you want to know a borderline of how "appropriate" your entry can be, feel free to P.M. this account.

How to submit your entry: leave a comment! We'd like to know how many of your are willing to join this contest.

If you are making it a complete separate book, then add the hashtag #MLFanFicRec to your submission so it's easier for us to find. It would be even better if you left a link to your post in a comment (that would really help us out).

If you decide to add it to a collection of contest entries, continue to add the hashtag to your book but you will also need to comment on this panel what the title is called (or else we'll just be aimlessly wandering around your book and then we'll get bored and your entry won't be accepted) and the link (of the chapter).

Deadlines and Judges: We will be giving you a little over three weeks for write a submission. The deadline is April 22nd, and the last week will be given to our judges to read through the entries and analyze the winners. This month's judges will be neverlanded and SinTxstic, our admins! We look forward to reading your entry!

Prizes: For first place, we will be offering all votes on any one of your works (your decision) and a personal shout out on this account. Your entry will also be added to our reading list for First Place winners.

For second place, we will be offering a maximum of five votes on any one of your works (your decision) and a personal shout out on this account. Your entry will also be added to our reading list for Second Place winners.

For third place, we will be offering a singular vote on any one of your works (your decision) and a personal shout out on this account. Your entry will also be added to our reading list for Third Place winners.

(Don't forget to add the hashtag #MLFanFicRec to your entry!)
