He Knew His Fanfiction Was All Right

Prepare yourselves, teenaged Trollope fans! You have just four months remaining in which to send your Barchester Towers fanfiction to the Anthony Trollope Society's annual £1000 Short Story Competion. Previous champions have been feted at luxurious club dinners by titans like Andrew Davies and P.D. James. Could you be next to join their august ranks?

Well, you missed, but we can while away the hours until the next competition with the teenaged trollops at the small whorehouse at Allington.

This is kind of neat, though -- a "fanfic" contest with an actual cash prize. Has anyone ever heard of a contest like this for fanfic based on a work still in copyright?

And you have to be 21 or younger. Who reads this shit when they're in their teens?

Why did you capitalize "trollope"?
Oh, never mind.
