Recently, my university announced that they were having a writing contest with cash prizes for the top three submissions. I was thinking of taking one of my fanfictions, changing the characters to some OCs so I don’t have to deal with copywrite complaints, and submitting it. It’s a cute little one-shot, but I’m afraid that people will view me as immature since it as originally a fanfiction…
I think it’s just me being insecure, since I’ve never considered entering a contest before… But I would like to validate my writing, even if I don’t win.
