Summer 2006 Lemon Contest
The theme for this contest, announced on 28 May, is Most Uniquely Executed Straight Pairing. The pairing will be in this case open to human or digimon ONLY pairings, no cross-breeding allowed. Inter-season (Digimon Adventure - Digimon Savers) crossovers may be used, but are not the focus of the story. Inter-series (Digimon with any non-Digimon series) may not be used.
An example, in summary, which I do not want to see anybody using, is as follows:
Title: The Twist
Pairing: Masaru Daimon / Izumi Orimoto
Summary: When Izumi gets recruited by DATS after returning from the
Digital World, she falls in love with Masaru -- and he just can't
resist her body. Will they just have good hot sex, or will they be
able to work out a relationship?
This is acceptable even as a crossover, because it is only inter-season, and not inter-series. Note that you may generate any reason for the pairing as long as it's believable in terms of your story, and you may execute it in any way you want.
The grading will be done by our select panel of judges, and will focus on five categories, each worth 10 points.
[PLOT] - This category rates the concept and plot of the story regardless of anything else. Well thought out stories will probably score better here than those quickly thrown together.
[CHARACTER] - This category rates the character development and behaviour within your story. Keeping them closer to the anime will tend to rate you a better score, as long as the reviewers know the characters.
[SEMANTICS] - This category grades on use of grammatical and semantic issues. Use of proper capitalization, punctuation, grammar, etc. is important -- and this includes not abusing punctuation.
[LEMON] - This is a lemon contest, and one of the grading criteria is how well you write your lemon scene. Anybody can write porn, but can you write sex that flows with the story? That's what this category is all about.
[WRITING] - This judges the overall writing of the story in a literary fashion. Use of literary tools like metaphor, alliteration, skilled prose, and other good writing techniques will get you a good score -- but hanging on clich
