Writing Contest: Dark Duet Fan Fiction

As I posted on Facebook, I am a huge fanfic fan (that's right mofo's, I'm a fan of the fans. That's like, Fangirl Level: Ultimate Shit). Before you ask, no, I haven't written any (that I would post online, lol). I love fan fiction for a number of reasons, but mostly because it allows the fans to continue a story they love and share it with people who love it just as much. I started reading fanfic in the 90's after the original 90210 went off the air (I'm dating myself and I don't care!). Today, you can find me cruising the Wincest boards (mmmmmm, I <3 Sam/Dean).

Anyway, I have asked TotallyBooked, Aestas BookBlog, Literati Literature Lovers, and The Sub Club Books to help spread the word. Thanks ladies!
