It's almost Christmas, and what better way to get into the holiday spirit than the announcement of a tournament fight to the death consisting of beloved hand-crafted characters!?

...

Well, for me anyway.



Alright, I'll cut to the good bits. This is an announcement for the tournament consisting of twelve original character entered by the community in a battle to the death, settled in the form of a several page written fight by yours truly, and won by popular vote. Do you think your original characters are unappreciated, ignored, or otherwise unpopular despite the ammount of work you put into them? Well, Fan Friction is your chance to get into the limelight! I'll explain how exactly this is going to work.

 From the assortment of entered characters, twelve will be selected (some randomly, and some through personal preference). These twelve lucky contestants will be announced one by one in a hand written bio consisting of their backstory, personality, and a hand-drawn picture, all done by me in the coming weeks. These lucky winers will then be placed somewhere on a similar bracket to the one above, and from there we're off to the races. Fights will be short, three to five page battles, played out in one minute. The whole thing will follow an overarching plot line set around a tournament. The winner of each fight will be determined beforehand by an anonymous hidden poll. Whoever has the most votes by the end of a certain period of time wins, but you'll only find out who that is in the actual battle. Oh, and one more thing. Every battle will end in death. Ye have been warned. Hehe.





Want in on this? Entering your characters is easy. Just comment bellow saying who you want to enter. There are some guidelines to follow, though.

- They have to be original, obviously. Any character from a published work will not be accepted.

- If the character isn't yours, you must have the actual creators permission before entering them. Don't try to get around this, because I'll be checking with each winner before doing anything to make sure they did enter the character, or at least OK'd it.

- Put a link to the bio of your character/characters you want to enter next to their name in the comments. I can't really write a battle including your character if I know nothing about them, not can I?

- Enter as many characters as you want, but only one character per person entering will be excepted, maximum.

- Be aware that your character dieing horribly is something that could very possibly happen.
