So now you have your inspiration, remember that your entries must be 1500-5000 words, written in an original character's first person POV, anonymous, beta'd, and that you will get more points for being written well than using everything with a point attached to it.

A post with a table to complete for each entry will be posted on the blog next week, along with links to the OC Awards fanfiction.net profile.

We look forward to seeing what you come up with.
