1. English Stories - Our Judges only speak English (fluently, anyway), and haven't taken any other classes to learn anything else. Quotes in another language are fine, as long as they're translated somehow.
2. Mostly Written Content - Memes or pictures don't count towards the end results, but are allowed. You have to have write at least 98% of the story.
3. No Copying/Plagiarism - It has to be your original work. Even if you've translated it to English, it still does not count. It must be YOUR original work. Fan-fictions are allowed. Collaborations are also very much allowed.
4. Must Be Written In 2019 - If you've had it already published in 2018, it does not count. This must be a brand new story to celebrate the New Year! It shouldn't be too difficult since the contest is lasting for a good portion of this year.
5. If You Change Your Username Or Information In Your Story, Let Us Know - You may be disqualified. PM us or write it on our Conversation Board. Use an @ sign when re-typing it.
6. Doesn't Have To Be Complete - While we will be reading your work, it doesn't have to be complete. If you're close to the dead line, you can submit your finished material. We'll only be able to judge what you do publish, however.
7. Be Mindful Of Our Judges - As of late, some of our judges have stated that they would not appreciate reading Mature or Explicit material, so that will be left to --EmmaLee--. Please mark your stories if they are mature.
8. Optional: Follow the Genre Contest Profile - This will help you keep up to date with certain big dates and updates that we may write down. It's completely optional, though, and not a requirement to be eligible.
More rules and guidelines will be added later.
