Here are some frequently asked questions to help clarify everything about the contest! If you still have any doubts, feel free to reach out to me!
1. Can I choose a couple from any show, including ITV, PTV, or regional ones?
Yes, absolutely! You are free to choose any couple from ITV, PTV, or regional shows. Just keep in mind that characters from books or movies are not allowed, as that would lead to disqualification. So, stick to TV shows and make sure your characters are original to the medium!
2. Can I submit two entries for the same genre?
Yes you can submit two entries in the same genre! Feel free to submit multiple entries (3 Maximum) in the same genre, but make sure each one brings something unique to the table. The key is to keep things fresh and exciting, so get creative!
3. How many entries can I submit?
You are allowed to submit up to 3 entries for the contest. You can choose to submit entries in one genre or across different genres. Just make sure each entry fits the chosen theme for that genre!
4. Can I use characters from books or movies in my entry?
No, characters from books or movies are not allowed. This contest is all about originality, so you should either create your own characters or choose from couples in TV shows.
5. Can we create canon of actual mythology? Can we write drama based on mythology?
Yes, you can use actual mythological figures or concepts from established myths. However, the story needs to be original and should not directly copy or retell a myth word-for-word. You can write a drama based on mythology, but keep it fresh and unique in its interpretation. Just keep in mind no characters from book or a movie.
6. Can we include historical elements in mythology?
Absolutely! You can blend historical elements with mythology if it fits your story. For example, you could weave a historical event or setting into the narrative while incorporating mythological figures or themes. Just be sure that it still aligns with the mythology theme and genre.
7. For historical fiction, do you need to have historical characters, or is it just the historical setting?
The focus for historical fiction is on the setting and era rather than specific historical characters. You can create fictional characters within a real historical period, and the story can revolve around that time and its events. So, a historical setup is fine as long as the story feels grounded in that time period.
8. Can we write a story based on entirely original characters?
Yes, you can absolutely write a story based on entirely original characters. The contest encourages you to create your own unique characters. Do NOT select characters from books and movie though!
9. Can we combine two genres in one story?
No, you cannot combine two genres in a single story. Each entry must align with one genre and theme from the list provided. Please choose only one genre for your One-Shot.
