Yep, you're reading that right!

It's time!

Time fer what, Sugarcube?

Time for the AppleDashLight contest to begin!

That's now?!

Well shucks, that's great!

I know, I'm so excited

So, Tchernobog, what's it about?

Well, I'm glad you asked, Twilight, because I'll tell ya!

That's the point of me asking, yes.

Quiet, you.

Ahem.

The theme of the contest is: No theme at all! You can write any romance story about the three!







The three can either be in an existing romantic relationship, or you can develop it from scratch. The fic must also end with them in a relationship as well.

Restrictions are:

No Clop

No Anthro

No Crossovers

No Humans in Equestria, or Ponies on Earth.

Humanized is allowed, however.



Word minimum is 5000 words - but with these genres, it's fine if you go over that (it's in fact welcome!)

The submission date will be in two months - March 1st. That should hopefully give you time to get excellent stories going.

So let's see the best trio in action!



Judges are: Myself, Jondor, and KrazyTheFox.

First Place will win: A 11x14 or 12x12 commission by http://the-paper-pony.deviantart.com/ , plus a game of their choice from the following list: Battlefield 4 (PC, Origin platform), Need For Speed: Rivals(PC, Origin platform), Civilization 4(PC, Steam platform), Bioshock 1(PC, Steam platform).

Second Place will win: A vector commission by KrazyTheFox, plus one of the remaining games!

Third place will win: One of the remaining games!

Good luck, everyone!

And if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask either myself, Krazythefox, or Jondor!
