    As long as you don't make it so long I can't finish it, I don't see an issue with it being a little longer than a 'short'.

    Considering we can now copy books, I will likely make copies of the winners. Besides that, if you want the book back, you may have it back :D.

    Due to the fact that I love fan fiction, I will allow fanfic, so long as the PLOT is completely original. I mean, there are hundreds of 'original' stories who borrow old characters. Some people rewrite the classics with a spin and I have no major issues with that. That being said, if its fanfiction based, I would suggest you check with me on the fiction it is based on because I might not understand the story if I'm not familiar with it.

    Must it be a story, or could we write a persuasive essay/argument? And is Shakespearean Iambic language allowed?

    I have submitted my book to Revan. I adapted it from a screenplay I wrote last year, which was based upon a mission from the RTS game "Homeworld" (1999). I have assembled some material below. The videos are mashed up from screencaps other people recorded of their gameplay. I don't have a machine that can play the game anymore, otherwise I would make some.

    Video 1 - Events from the game preceding the script I wrote.

    Script - Script I wrote. Adapted this into a narrative form for the competition.

    Video 2 - These are the events portrayed in the script, as it actually happens in game.
