Zigster, S Meadows, and Chicklette presents
The Age of Eric Contest
What is The Age of Eric contest all about? The inspiration for this contest came from the fact that Eric Northman and his gracious plenty have been roaming the planet for over a thousand years. A Thousand years filled with incredible time periods to explore and history to tell. Yet, in the fanfiction world, Eric has stayed mostly put in the 21st Century. The hosts for The Age of Eric Contest felt that this needed to change.
