This contest also allowed writers to submit stories written prior to July 11. After this all stories needed to be written during the entry period unless otherwise specified.
2. Comic-Con (July 25-31, 2014) ~ The prompt for this contest involving "[character a] and [character b] walking into a bar". No RPF (Real Person Fiction) was allowed and fandoms were limited to ones a person could find at Comic-Con. Stories needed to be around one-thousand words give or take a hundred words. (Stories from Comic-Con were hard to dig out because stories were only tagged #fanficfriday.)
3. Gender Studies (August 8-22, 2014) ~ The prompt for this contest involved genderbending a canon of fanon character. Writer's could submit up to two stories for this contest, and stories need to be between two-thousand to three-thousand words.
4. Drabble (August 22-26, 2014) ~ Writer's submitted drabbles two hundred words or less to the comments section for this entry. (I don't have reviews for this as many simply posted their drabbles to the comments section and never posted as an actual story.)
5. Back to School (August 29 to September 11, 2014) ~ Writer's were given ten prompts and were expected to use at least five of these prompts in either a short story or collection of one-shots. I believe the max for this contest word wise was twenty-five to thirty-thousand words.

17. Yuletide (December 4-17, 2015) - This was the second holiday fic, and the rules were pretty much the same, but they tried opening it up to the Yuletide fic theme, where you grant another writer's wishes. That did not exactly go over well, the second part.
18. Perfect Storm (January 21-28, 2016) - The goal of the story was to write about two characters trapped inside during a storm, interpretation could be taken loosely for the prompt. The judges removed the criteria of "keep your content appropriate for all Wattpadders to enjoy".
