Namco Bandai Seeks Tales Fan Projects
Creative Tales fans could find their work showcased in a magazine.
If you're a Western fan of the offbeat, niche Tales series, you're probably intimately familiar with the Chloe [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere], Namco Bandai wants to see it. To celebrate the relase of Tales of Graces f in the UK, Namco Bandai will showcase the best Tales fan projects in an August magazine.
The official thread [http://www.uk.namcobandaigames.eu/your-tales-of ]. The fine print is pretty standard stuff: You must be 13 years of age or older to enter, cannot upload anything obscene or malicious, and agree to abide by the copyright laws of the UK (even though you do not have to be a UK citizen to enter). Entrants should be aware that while simply entering the contest does not affect image ownership, winning the contest will effectively transfer the creation's copyright to Namco Bandai. This restriction is not the end of the world, though, considering the dubious legality of selling fan material based on existing properties in many countries.
Tales fans can find the winning entries in a 16-page booklet to accompany the August issue of NEO Magazine, while winners will receive a copy of the booklet signed by Hideo Baba, the series producer. If you already have a Tales fan project, now seems like as good a time as any to submit it to the contest - although if you're the author of that Senel/Chloe slashfic, please consider sending it to me instead. I never did like that cloying Shirley [http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Shirley_Fennes].
