Fanfiction Challenges??

Do people still make and post them? If so, where? Also how… i get the gist I think but haven’t been able to find any of information on them either. I have some great (in my opinion) ideas but no time, skills, or motivation to write them. Please advise.

So, while writing my previous story, “Ghosts of Yesterday” I came across what really bugs me most when it comes to Usagi x Seiya stories. Frankly, I find it overloaded with tropes. Seiya comes back, still has idol status (wealth and fame), and has no problem with the fact they are sworn to guard Princess Kakyuu and Usagi is in a bad marriage/lonely again/unsure about destiny and Mamoru is neglectful/cheating/abusive/etc. Years and years of Mamoru bashing has been getting old and tiresome. 

SO to this end I’m giving a prompt for a Seiya/Usagi story and am leaving it up to a writer to give it a shot: 

“After the battle with Galaxia, Mamoru is dead and not coming back only leaving his star seed behind. By becoming Sailor Cosmos, Usagi’s destiny has changed, the bond with Mamoru is broken and Crystal Tokyo is in danger of not happening. Luna and the others insist they need to find a new bearer of the Earth Star Seed but Usagi can’t stand to think about it as she thinks it will mean Mamoru is truly gone. Enter Seiya who wants to do all they (gender is up to you) can to be with Usagi. Unfortunately they have to deal with Kakyuu forbidding the relationship (and forbidding Seiya from being on Earth at all), Yaten and Taiki not helping, no studio wanting to work with them as a solo act, and everyone insisting Seiya is not cut out for any of it. The only one helping is Mamoru as a ghost still connected by the star seed. Mamoru just wants to help make sure Usagi is safe before he fades away permanently but Mamoru is conflicted because he wants whats best for Usagi but it hurts to see her with anyone else. Can Seiya prove they worthy of being Usagi’s soulmate?” 

There will a lot of angst and feelings in this one. Special attention would be paid to the Mamoru and Seiya dynamic as Mamoru will be the only one helping Seiya in their quest. Any takers?
