, there's not much there yet, but perhaps it'll fill you in on a couple of things.

DETAILS:
THEMES TO CHOOSE FROM
In this fanfic contest I decided to have themes again, however this time you have a few different themes to choose from. You can use any of the themes below, but only one. You may notice I revived two old fanfic themes. -
1: Black Romance - A Jack/Jill story. Can get sweet if you wish, but I prefer these two's relationship be farely dark, at least at first.
2: The First Nights - A horror/drama that should mainly star Jack and Orlock. Should obviously explore Jack's first nights as a new vampire.
3: Laugh Out Loud - A humourous story of any kind, with any VP characters you want.
4: Jack VS - Action/adventure mixed with whatever. Jack (and if you prefer, the gang) faces off against foe(s) unknown. Obviously I'll allow original/made-up characters for this...but not crossovers with other animes, movies, ect. Jack and co. don't have to win any fights if you want, but please don't take this opportunity just to beat the hell out of my characters and nothing else. Thank you. XP
F.A.Q.:
Q: Do the above titles have to be the title of the fanfiction we write?
A: No. In fact those weren't really intended to be titles...so I'd rather you make up your own. ^^;
Q: ALRIGHT! IT'S TIME FOR BUTT-SEX!
A: No yaoi, yuri, or hardcore/graphic sexual scenes please.
Q: Are crossovers allowed?
A: You can include your own original characters, especially in the Jack VS category, but you cannot include characters from other animes, movies, ect. Just keep in mind that this is a VAMPIRE PHANTASM story is all.
Q: i likes 2 right te fanfixons cuz theyre fun and i like em!
A: Erm....yeah. Please be mindful of your grammar and punctuation. If English isn't your first language I'll cut you some slack, but punctuation can be just as important as spelling! Reading too many run-on sentences can be exhausting. Also, seperating your paragraphs decently also helps me to read things easier. If your fanfic is too ridiculously hard to read, I might not take it as a contest entry. (Thankfully this hasn't ever happened yet.)
Q: I'm confused! You've changed your story around so much I don't know what's accurate anymore!
A: I know, I'm sorry. If you have any questions email me and I'll either answer it the best I can or tell you to go by what you've read already. One thing to take note of though, the backstory of Topaz and Jack's meeting in VP: Excrucio is accurate...the one in the regular VP comic isn't.
Q: Is Rendal still in the comic? Can I include her in my story?
A: I am still undecided on whether or not Ren will remain in the comic, but you can include her in your fanfiction.
Q: How long does the fanfiction have to be?
A: At least three pages long (as in, three pages on Wordpad or something). If effort is put into the writing then it doesn't have to be that long for me. Though longer than three pages may give you a few extra points in my book. =P
Q: When is the deadline?
A: No deadline as of yet, I'll keep you all posted though.
Q: How many fanfictions can I enter?
A: As stated above, you can only write one fanfiction with one theme.
Q: One theme?! What if I want a little comedy with the horror?!
A: Oh that's perfectly fine mixing in different things. Just don't lose sight of the main genre. ^^;
Q: In "Jack VS" can Jack's foe(s) just be Orlock or Raff or one of the "baddies" of VP?
A: Sure!
Q: Do all the themes have to stay absolutely accurate to the comic? (Example, can I make it a sort of alternate universe/story?)
A: Yes you can do your own thing with the story, it doesn't have to be like the comic! Just try to keep the characters basically the same and make sure it's still a vampire story. =P
Q: I'd like to know more about the vampires themselves...
A: I added some information about the vamps to this Comixpedia article on VP
