Failure to follow these rules will result in immediate expulsion from the competition.
1. Participants must supply another form of inspiration for the next contestant. They may not neglect this duty.

3. Contestants cannot use their own form of inspiration as the basis for your story. This would disrupt the cycle.
4. The form of inspiration may not be a R-rated story on this community. This competition is strictly PG-13 and below.

7. Participants are allowed to "back out" of the competition and not complete the prompt, though they must inform one of the four judges before doing so.
