Hey thanks for the invite and for the praise, but honestly I just don't have the time nowadays between work and other stuff going on.

Do I need to send drabble to participate in Microtale?

Do we need to take reference from somewhere? Why can't we write the story on our own based on ramayan we have heard in childhood from parents & grandparents. Most of us know the story, so can we write based on it?

I have a question. This can be used in a published book? Can I publish my entry since I am an author & my upcoming book is mytho.

I'm not a part of thisw contest but as far as my understanding goes, the entries willl remain anonymous for voting and judging purposes. Once the results are out, you will be free to publish your entry.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Sima and Lizzie.

You can. Provided it's similar to popular canon and stays true to the characters and their traits that everyone is familiar with. Especially when it comes to romantic relationships, we don't want any re-imaginings where none exist - to avoid hurting any religious sentiments.

Otherwise you're free to explore the canon realm and tweak it any way you feel like.

Do read the FF Rules for Mytho stories to know more.
