Welcome to the 3rd writing contest. Today is February 14, Valentine's Day. So the theme will be romance? Yes, you could say it, but just being a romance would be easy for you, right? So the subject will be: impossible or forbidden love!

What is it about? Simple, like the previous ones, it is about writing a crossover of no less than 20k words. It can be a one shot or several chapters. The time to complete is 4 months from today. That is, the deadline is June 14 of this year. The story can be in English or Spanish.

A closed ending is not mandatory, but the open end or closing of an arc is necessary for it to be accepted, even if it meets the number of words.

This is important, even if the subject could be summarized in romance. This does not mean that you have to force yourself between the chosen characters. I mean, here is a list of female characters for the theme, but not necessarily Shirou ends up falling in love with her, could fall in love with another character or even end up alone (this is totally your decision). The story, although you can take the path of romance with happy ending, can also turn to tragedy or lack of love. The point is not that both characters are in love with each other (although it is not discouraged either), the point is that the female character that chooses will be in love with our protagonist at such a level that it is not possible to deceive herself (it may even be an artificially imposed feeling).

(The main male character will be Shirou Emiya (I mean, no surprises there, hahaha). It can be in any of its forms or universes, this means that Archer is included, or a version of a parallel world created by you. "At least Shirou has almost an 'Ex' rank with women, so at least at that time there will be no problem, hahaha.")

Topics to choose from, to base the story:

A higher power: as the topic indicates, someone or something superior to the chosen character, you will be trying to prevent them from ending up together. Whether they believe the reason for which is fair or selfish.

A rival appears: in this topic, as it normally happens, a rival will try to take the boy she likes. You can also place a boy who tries to make the girl fall for him. In this case, the character chosen must be "from a certain point of view" ideal or more acceptable for the target. Here you can go for a character from the same series, a Fate character, any other series, and even an OC of your creation.

The lie: in this, the story will lead to, or start with a lie or a deception. It can be big or small, but it must be the reason around which the story revolves.

Reckless abandonment: in this, the chosen girl will abandon everything and only give herself to her feelings, without taking into account the consequences ... consequences that always arrive.

List of characters to choose from:

2B - Nier Automata: she may seem human, but we know she's an android. But hey! If Krillin succeeded, so can our hero! ---- (was chosen, can no longer be selected) -----

Ai Haibara - Detective Conan: a woman of legal age? Tell that to the judge!

Aries - Fairy Tail: why wouldn't a relationship with a celestial spirit be possible? Remember Kagura's mother (Gintama)? Well, that's my answer.

Gardevoir - Pokemon: she's not human. In a world where she and her brothers are captured and placed to fight for their masters. "Yes, sometimes, I just want to see the world burn" xD ---- (was chosen, can no longer be selected) -----

Penny Polendina - RWBY: she's a machine. With a beautiful and innocent soul... but the first point no doubt complicates things, hahaha. ---- (was chosen, can no longer be selected) -----

Rias Gremory - High School DxD: while still engaged with Riser Phenex. In this case, that is the main arc. ---- (was chosen, can no longer be selected) -----

Seryū Ubiquitous- Akame ga Kill!: finally a cute and normal girl, right? Eh... hehehehe.

Twilight Sparkle - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic / Equestria Girls: she's not human, although she wants to say otherwise. ---- (was chosen, can no longer be selected) -----

(The chosen character will be blocked after the pick, so that no one else can pick the same, so if you choose a character, let me know to block it for others, but only take it if you are sure to participate, since there is limited space)

Good luck to everyone!!
