---- Instructions and Guidelines ----

*Captainwheel* Opens: Feb 1
*Captainwheel* Deadline: Feb 28

*Captainwheel* Rules and regulations will be leaked in January and posted in full when the 2025 round opens.

*StarfishP* Judging notes: 1.) If the characters are engaging, the story has a great chance of being engaging. 2.) No matter how engaging the characters, beautiful the story, or genius the incorporation of the contest's requirements, none of it will come through with poor grammar and mechanics. A few typos aren't going to hurt your chances, but general sloppiness will.
