so, since i have hit 20k reads on these imagines, i've decided to say thanks in the form of a contest

i'm honestly so thankful for the support i've gotten, so now i'm going to try to highlight other writers in this community

let's jump right into the rules:

fic rules

1) the fic must be 200-2000 words
i would like for you all to put the word count at the beginning of the part please

2) it must be X Reader (either romantic or friendship, you choose!)
this is just so any ships i might have a bias for or against won't be a factor

3) NO SMUT
you can get slightly heated, but no straight up smut/lemon, OKAY?

4) preferably have it be about a YouTuber (Mark, Sean, Felix, etc.)
mainly bc this is a markiplier imagine book, i'd like to keep the contest in a similar ballpark. if u want to enter one in a different fandom (bands, books, etc.) please message me first, bc if its not in any of my fandoms, i might not enjoy it.

5) you can submit a maximum of 2
this is so if you have two ideas that you think are equally good, or have one idea split into two parts. each part must be a minimum of 200 words and a maximum of 2000 words.

6) it can be old or new
you can submit imagines you published years ago, or write a new one just for the contest, whatever u want!

author rules

1) (ALMOST) ANYONE CAN ENTER
personally i'd like to give back to my readers on this book, so please be a semi-active reader on here!!

2) NO STEALING
submit only works that are yours please

submission guidelines

1) have it in the form of a story part
it can be a chapter of your imagine book or just make a new book for this imagine, whatever you prefer

2) tag me in it
this is so it will pop up in my notifications

3) message me
when you've published your submission(s), message me on the account you published it on just in case the tag notification gets lost, i'll definitely see your message

4) submit by July 30th
please no later, also idk when i'll have the results out, bc i do have to read them, and the speed at which i read them depends on the volume of submissions i get
