That Breaking Dawn Contest

Woo, a contest!
I've been thinking about hosting this one for a while now.
But...
What's it about?
Breaking Dawn's missing moments.


This book has so many missing moments, so many things you writers can fill in.
Whether your story focuses on the big guys, like Emmett, or the little ones that give us a laugh, like Mike, it has to be a space filler or a scene in someone other than Bella or Jacob's POV.


Go back, skim the pages of BD again and figure out what to write about.


Ideas:
How about that tragic honeymoon black out?
Or Bella's feelings during her pregnancy?
The Volturi's flight to Forks?
What exactly did Alice pack in Bella's luggage?
Building the cottage?
Irina's thoughts when she first saw Nessie?
Kate and Garrett's love?
Exactly what does Leah think about the Cullens?
Phil and Renee's travel to Forks?
Alice buying Bella's blue dress when she first hunts?
Even the wedding dress?
Nessie hunting for the first time?
The phone call between Rose and Bella?
Carlisle getting blood for Bella when she was pregnant?
Nessie's mind in the womb when drinking the blood?
The Volturi gathering witnesses?
Or the Cullens doing the same?


You choose, or find your own, there are tons of opens spaces yet to be filled.


The story can be any rating, K-M.
Multi-chaptered or a one-shot.
It won't effect anything.


The only catch is...
Under 10,000 words.
It's a good limit, plenty to go by.


Due Saturday February 27th.


No prizes will be given out, just an opportunity to write.
Ok, maybe a few reviews here and there!


The winner will be announced here, on my blog, a week after it is due. 


Have fun, be creative, fill those spaces.
