I look forward to reading what everyone has to share :) I am looking for at least two others to judge and at least 5 competitors! This something I have been thinking about so I will also be writing a post (Just for fun, not as a competitor)

This is my first writing comp soooo I guess I can judge?

@WriteOutofTime

I still can't believe I didn't even make runners-up, so I'm competing again

I can't believe it either! Yours almost made me cry. Everyone is so incredibly talented!

@AmmyPajammy

It's cool, I'll just use this disappointment to try harder. I already have something lined up for you guys, it's gonna be great!

@AmmyPajammy

It's totally fine. Honestly, I think my entry was a bit generic because I keep dancing around the fact that I'm exclusively a fanfiction-writer. So I have to ask, if my next entry is fanfiction, is that allowed?

@AmmyPajammy
But doesn't the prompt say to use an original character?
Prompt: One of your original characters shows up and disrupts your daily routine.
If you used a character from something else, then it wouldn't need really be yours, right?

@AmmyPajammy

Let me give you a perfect example: in my entry for the last competition, I had to omit certain things because I didn't feel comfortable admitting that it's all fanfiction, such as who actually wrote the letter

@LittleBear group

@AmmyPajammy, so the character that interrupts your life must be your character, but it could totally be from another genre. For instance, your character could be someone who is in love with Harry Potter and an Auror and all that jazz, but Harry Potter cannot be in your entry.

@AmmyPajammy

Ok, that's all I needed to know. My entry will be an original character, so don't worry about that. The adventures of Lady Conarith and her merry band of children are all original works.
