Do we have to use the prompt as the first line of our short story? ^^'
Lost, not aimless. I know where I need to go, I just...don't know how to get there yet.

Good question, @sylrie! :] It's encouraged to use the prompt as the first line (so we can easily see which prompt is being used), but we'll still consider submissions that don't use it as the first line!

Are we able to post our story as a work to receive feedback on it from the site, or would that not be allowed?
The politics of the world may be corrupt, but that does not mean that we must be corrupted ourselves.

Also, would the undetailed peeling to death of a sentient potato qualify as 16+ or 18+? It's definitely violent, but I'm not sure if that would push it to 18+ or not, but I know that it would require a TW.

@TheScribe, Good questions! For posting your work, we would ask that you wait until after the contest is over to post your work, since it's such a short time frame.

Also, I would say that as long as it's not graphic in its violence, it should be fine with the right trigger warnings. Especially since peeling potatoes is a normal occurrence, sentient or not. :P

Do we have to use the exact line? Like the villain sat on a couch or we can modify it a bit?

@ForeverYoung299, I would say try to stick to the prompt, but if you want to change the wording slightly to better suit your idea, that’s also okay too ^^
