Well, finally I managed to get an entry into a contest!
It was tricky for me, not just because my anime literacy is weak, but because I've got this... thing about writing fanfic. If I'm writing stories about someone else's characters, I feel this (for lack of a better word) ethical obligation to write "real" stories - things that I can convince myself would be a legitimate part of the story.
That makes it nearly impossible for me to write Azumanga Daioh wetting fics. AzuDai is a light-hearted but semi-realistic story where nothing bad really happens; I can't convince myself that a wetting accident would ever be a part of the AzuDai universe.
Fortunately, Strawberry Marshmallow doesn't have that problem. Miu Matsuoka's exactly mean enough to try to get her friends to wet herself for a joke, and humiliating things happen (especially to Matsuri!) all the time. And really, if you start with the really obvious idea of Miu coming up with a hold-it contest, the characters pretty much write themselves.
I need to start watching Lucky Star. It's not as mean-spirited, but it's wacky enough that wetting could fit...
(For the record, on the last story contest (Desperate Teacher), I was planning to write a Pani Poni Dash fic, starring, naturally, Becky Miyamoto as the desperate teacher. I just didn't have time to really sort it out before the contest expired. I may end up writing it anyway, someday...)
