Write a revolution. However you would like to define the word. Good luck.

The fic must contain reference to a flying machine, of whatever sort - fairy, human, real or imagined.

Any questions about the challenge should be sent to blueyeti (at) gmail (dot) com.

And now, the standard ground rules:

• Any pairings may be used.
• Submissions will be judged on normal marking criteria and must have that x-factor (what makes it an unforgettable fic) to win either a Golden, Silver or Bronze Acorn award.
• All aspects of the challenge must be answered in the part(s) of the story submitted for marking.
• You can not write a new chapter/part/out-take for a fanfiction story that already exists (whether it's a story by yourself or by another author) unless your challenge entry does not need knowledge of the original story to be understood by our judges, and, if it's written by another author, the permission of this author to use their story as your basis.

Responses should be in by the 30th of September, 2006, but late arrivals are always welcome if you can't finish on time. Your story will only be archived after the challenge is completed. Fics may be submitted in html, doc, or rtf formatting, or by linking to the fic on another archive like ff.net or Artemis Fowl Confidential's Archive. All fics submitted as challenges are archived on Criminality.

Submissions should be sent to criminality - submit @ popullus . net (without spaces) with the subject "CHALLENGE 31", the details you want to see on your author's bio (if you don't already have a story archived with us) and the summary, genre, rating, pairings and warnings for the fic.
