Oh crap crap crap, I also forgot to write specific guidelines for the first round. Many apologies to the users who have already submitted without knowing them!
THE OFFICIAL WRITING GUIDELINES TO ROUND ONE: THE INVITATION
Your first written task is to write about your character and what they are doing when they hear about the Way of Moderation. How do they react? What will they do in the weeks that lead up to the inauguration ceremony at the amphitheater on the 6th of August? In what manner do they arrive and with what expectations? You may write about as much or as little of this as you wish.
There are a number of guidelines specific to this round:
1) This is an open tournament, so assume that nobody is hand-picked or specifically invited.
2) Nobody meets Strop or any of the other mods/admins in this chapter. They're too busy.
3) If you write in other characters that are not your own, we (both you and I) will need to gain their approval- first so you can write, and so I can check whether they like what's been written about them.

To make it a sextuple post in a row, because I firmly believe spoonfeeding -> efficiency here, I will finally update the checklist for you guys to go through (preferably in order) so that everything runs as smoothly as possible. Please copy-paste the following into your own notepad document or something, and heed these instructions well!
CHECKLIST FOR THE BEGINNING OF EACH ROUND
1) Check you are looking at the most current round on the WoM thread.
2) Read the story as posted on the thread.
3) Check the general instructions and deadline.
4) Check the specific writing guidelines for this round (they will be posted below the deadline).
5) Go to the WoM FAQ and see if there are any specific links you need to look at for this round.
6) Check your email (the email you use to contact WaoMod@yahoo.com).
7) Make your submission!
8) Cenere will probably be the first to read it. If there is a conflict you will be notified. Otherwise I will read the submission on the weekend and get back to you myself.
9) Correct any conflicts.
10) Resubmit to WaoMod@yahoo.com. When you get the go-ahead, post your entry here.
Okay! That's all for now- maybe I can relax a little.

The round sounded like something that I would get at school....
Will not start my submission until I get back home...
Just a quick question, does the submission have to be writing? Or can it be mixed media?

It can be a lot of things, but i think you should ask Strop on specifics.
Anyway strop i have turned in my submission. It's Strop free! almost.

Hey, I, um, have a question. Is it OK if I start my entree with the pointless babbling of a completely different character that has nothing to do with anything? It'll be short and irrelevant. It'll only happen once. It's just the thing I do when Leon is introduced to a new story.

I submitted my entry with minimal references to other characters. Just a teeny one here and there.
So... I hope there's nothing too terribly wrong with it.

right I resent my submission...with no actual changes to it, except I added a whole new section to it after looking at the new rules. So what was submitted on this thread is not all of the story.

Any media, writing, animation, comic, even a song... just as long as you're telling me about the stuff I asked you to tell me about, it's all good.
I hope to do some visual stuff myself anyway.

Sure, you do what you want!
