Some quick questions from me:
  1. What are the criteria by which you are ranking the entries?
  2. Could the submission be a piece of fan-fiction with OCs, or does it have to be set and crafted in an entirely original world?
  3. Does the submission have to be a short story, or could it be a poem/screenplay/scene from a bigger piece?
 
SkyGinge SkyGinge "What are the criteria by which you are ranking the entries?"
We overall mostly look at how well the writing fits the theme and how well written it is.

"Could the submission be a piece of fan-fiction with OCs, or does it have to be set and crafted in an entirely original world?"
It can be fan-fiction with fandom OCs or original. The only thing that matters is the theme. However, please keep the audience in mind as not everyone may be familiar with your fandom.

"Does the submission have to be a short story, or could it be a poem/screenplay/scene from a bigger piece?"
As long as it fits within the word limit and follows the other rules you can write stylistically what you want.
 
I shall try my best to keep within the limits of 2500 words, but I do fear that will be my only hardship.
 
Ahahaha!!! Flirty Februrary was a blast for me; this will be awesome! It's my time to shine!!
 
Aw heck! As a Poet, writing stories comes a little harder... but I might try my hand at this :3
 
*stares at August's theme, stares at wall, stares at Youtube in hopes for inspirational music, stares into oblivion for a solid, promising idea*
Haven't actually focused a short story or excerpt strictly on action so this should be interesting.
 
Is there any way that the story could be longer? Cause I'm already at 1000 words and i'm haven't even hit the main plot yet T^T (from the intro to "Were about to have some major action and the story is going to be r o l l i n g.- past 2500)

Click to expand...
There is only minor wiggle room for a few words over or under, but not excessively so.
 
I finished writing and cut out literally half of the plot just to make it 2499 words. Help.
