For those who know our colorful Stephanie from Dead Air, she is hosting a fanfiction contest! Write a fic with the topic of “In ____’s World…” If it was your story and you could make it anything you wanted it to be, what would you do? Would the Cullens be in Bon Temps? Would Lestat be a regular at Fangtasia? Just think of the most creative and fun story! E-mail it to TheVampireStephanie@gmail.com. She will be reading all of them and choosing a winner who will receive a nice prize! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail her, and she will help you out. Contest ends on Stephanie’s birthday, November 25, and she will be picking a winner after she has read all the entries. She will narrow it down to 5, then pick the top three, then announce the winner! Happy writing, everyone!
And make sure you also submit your story to the EN.net fic archive so everyone can enjoy it.

Every Eric fanfiction writer should enter this awesome contest. Eric will be displeased and Pam will look at you in disgust if you don’t!
Eric Northman and his gracious plenty have been roaming the planet for over a thousand years. A Thousand years filled with incredible time periods to explore and history to tell. Yet, in the fanfiction world, Eric has stayed mostly put in the 21st Century.
This needs to change.
Now.
Info, rules, eras, and inspiration can all be had at the Fanfiction.net profile and the Age of Eric blog.
Battle of the Fang
Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer have both agreed to participate in this GREAT charity contest pitting Team Eric against Team Bill. The sites tell it better than I can, so just click here!
You have the entirety of season 3 to make your donations. Alex’s chosen charity is SOS Children’s Villages, specifically the work of the organization’s Swedish branch, which will be building a children’s home in Bovary, Ukraine. Donations on Stephen’s behalf go to Gulf Aid, which I must admit is nearer and dearer to my heart, since Louisiana is my home state, and I live in Mississippi. So yeah, I’m a little torn, but I’ve decided simply to give to both. With slightly more on Alexander’s side. *grin*
