INFORMATIONS REGARDING THE TOURNAMENT
* : Condition for the PP:
- Nothing that can get me a banned
- No reactionnary image (racism, transphobia, sexism etc.)
** : Characters and story:
- Your main character needs to be a non-strawhat character ALREADY EXISTING in the story. but you can create your own secondary characters or antagonist if you wish.
- You don't have to write an entire book or a screeplay, a draft or as we call it "an outline" of your story is enough as long as all the elements required are present in you summary. Think about it like a wikipedia summary for a movie but with all the elements instead.
*** : If you need help or tips on the requirements:
- You can ask me anything about the requirements and if you need help on your story I can provide a set of exterior eyes if you want.
- I'm sure authors on this forum will be able to help you too. (make yourself known so we can tag you if you wanna help)
**** : END OF TOURNAMENT AND POLL
- June, 27 2026
- I will not start the poll until I get a good number of applications. (10 would be the best but I willing to settle for less)

HOW TO BUILD A STORY ?

4 - Fun and Games (where the fun of your concept happens)
5 - Midpoint of the story (a false victory or a false defeat)
6 - Antagonist closes In (the tension is raising)
7 - All Is Lost (the worst happens to your character)
8 - Dark Night of the Soul (your character is in despair)
9- Break into ACT 3 (new piece of information, a new hope)
10 - The Finale showdown (the confrontation between your character and the antagonist)
11 - The resolution (an "image" of the transformed world of your character)
REQUIREMENTS (what you need to include):
- A desire (what goal is pushing your character to move forward ?)
- An antagonist (who will stop your character from achieving their goal ?)
- A conflict (what will your character have to face or resolve to achieve their goal)
- A flaw (what character flaw is pushing your character to hurt others or themselves ?)
- A need (what does your character need to change to stop hurting others or themselves ?)
- An impossible choice (what choices is your character stuck between to resolve the conflict ?)
- A transformation (how will your character evolve to stop hurting others or themselves ?)

- A brief summary of your mini-story (beginning / middle / end)
When finished, quote me @ logiko with all the requirements and a name for your story on this thread.
