All ye fanficcers, get ye over to Whatever RIGHT NOW and read about the
Wil Wheaton/John Scalzi facfic contest.
Behold the image: a painting of Scalzi as an Orc, and Wil in a clown sweater astride a flying unicorn cat, caught a dramatic albeit confusing tableau. Does this inspire your creative juices? You have until June 30th to write something about it -- 400 to 2,000 words -- and submit it to them, one entry per person. (That means a quadrabble is legit! Go for it, wabbit!)
The winning entries will be professionally published. As in paid. The stories, plus stories written by Scalzi, Wheaton, Catherynne Valente and Patrick Rothfuss, will be collected into a chapbook and sold as a fundraiser for the Lupus Foundation of America.
Obviously, RPF is allowed (although it's kind of stretching the term once you get the Orc in there), but they are specifically prohibiting slash in submitted fics. I suspect their respective wives might have something to do with this (and I don't blame them, y'know).
Fame! Fortune! Flying unicorn cats! And Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi! Let's do it!!!1!
