Hello there. I'm going to be a little patient to be something on here, and make sure it is well-prepared beforehand. Still trying to come up with a good idea for the smackdown. I like the forest picture with the airships a lot. It's also a neat contrast to the desert theme in most of the rest. I have to say though, I really like where you are going with yours, so it's a little challenging to avoid copying some ideas. Although honestly my biggest challenge is probably writing a good story within the length limit while still being somewhat detailed. I think a good outline will be a necessity. I'm also thinking that I may try to turn this into a present tense perspective, to try something different from what I normally do, although I can't decide between third or first person (maybe first would be better with the present tense). What perspective are you thinking of going with?

@Jerral Sorry, J, didn't see this earlier. Don't forget to hit the "reply" button to tag people when you want to talk to them. Otherwise, they won't even know you said anything!
          
          For me? Definitely third. It's not a choice to me. It's a necessity. I may split my narrative and switch perspectives (character focus). In my opinion this strategy looks really clunky and a little immature in first person. 
          
          Plus, it's a great way to build suspense. Leave your readers on a cliffhangar and then switch to a different character. Just like they do in Walking Dead, not to mention Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
