The yahoo group for A Long Expected Contest.

A Long Awaited Contest(ALEC)is a contest for Tolkien fandom writers. It will include stories that are rated G-NC17 and can be Slash, Het, or General. In other words - all genre's of the Tolkien fandom!

This contest will start in a Yahoo group and on a Live Journal page. Depending on how successful it is, we hope to create a webpage in the future.

Our LJ Site is - http://community. livejournal. com/a_l_e_ c/

This is a drama-free group. Let’s act like adults, even if you aren’t. This is not the place to air your wanks with other people or groups. If you can’t get along someone and ignore them, perhaps this is too much social interaction for you and you should rethink why you’re here. We’re here to write and read good fan fiction and have fun.

If you have come here to find stories to spork, flame, or MST, you’re in the wrong place. Use respect when dealing with each other and conduct yourself appropriately. You will be banned if you cannot follow the rules. If you have any problems with others, please bring it to the attention of the mod.

* Each month a new topic/prompt/challenge will be posted in the Yahoo group and on the LJ on the first day of the month.

* Writers have until the final day of the month to write a fiction in response to the topic/challenge. The deadline will be posted with the topic and we will post reminders as well.

* The story cannot be a WIP and must be less than 10,000 words unless part of the challenge/topic is the length, then those rules would apply.

* The three categories of the contest are Slash, Het, and General.
