Basically, like most of everyone else, I'm tired of having to upload my
e-mail, wait 10 minutes, and then wade through all the Re:'s and
Re:Re:'s just to find a good fanfic to read.

It can get really frustrating at times.  I know, there are good fanfic
authors out there.  The one where Miyuki got a boo-boo, Makoto and
Ifurita got together, and Tenchi sung like Eminem to name a few, were
some of the only original ones in there.  But I don't like the idea
where "flamewars" have to start because nobody likes their world.  And
on the FFML even, spamming up everyone else computers with something
that could be handled by asking nicely.

That's where my challenge comes in.  Anyone who doesn't like what the
author did (ala Eternally Lost Lurker's insult to the guy about
combining Tenchi with Eminem), I dare you to look inside yourself and
search your inner creativeness and answer them with how a story should
be done.  Not just insults, baka-hammering, and namecalling.  I'm
talking storytelling that grabs attention in a positive way.  Writing it
so someone can say, "Man! That person did it better than the last...!"

And to spice it up; the fanfic should be done without using the
characters of popular series (I've picked these up from the Anipike):

Ranma 1/2,  Sailor Moon
Dragonball (Any of them),
Evangelion (Unfortunately),
Pokemon, and Tenchi Muyo

There are plenty of 2nd-party anime out there, all on the Anipike at
www.anipike.com .  One does not have to be stagnated and follow the
crowd like sheep.

Despite this, there is no limit to what you can do.  It can be of any
genre:  X-over, Lemon, WAFF, Romance, Military, Drama, Humor, Drug
Use...  Your, or a famous person's, life story staring said characters
of a show.  You can even take the worlds of the popular series and star
them with the 2nd party characters.

What I'm basically trying to do is cut back on all the bad C&C's and
fill this FFML with what's suppose to be filled with... Fanfics.
