7887406 I know it says "simple or massive change to canon", but how much of a change is allowed? Is there a framework of canon we should still stick to - general setting, mythology, and character origins for instance? Or is it more or less a free ticket to any kind of AU?
Since each story will be AU, should the villain Sunset is shipped with be someone who is a villain in canon, or is 'just a villain in AU' equally good?
7887406 Does it have to be shipping or can a feisty interaction suffice? I'm thinking of a villain arc, but then it wouldn't be a Sunset Shimmer-focused story, she would only have the second most important role in it. And it wouldn't be your typical 'shipping'.
Also, does it have to be AU or can it take place after the canon?
Also also, Wallflower Blush does count as a villain, right?

So...um...what about non-romance relationships, such as friendshipping? Are they docked points?
7887475
Less likely to win but it is allowed

Hello. As usual, would like to invite you to repost the contest in the Hall of Contests [SFW] group.

I’d say any kind of AU is fine
Since each story will be AU, should the villain Sunset is shipped with be someone who is a villain in canon, or is 'just a villain in AU' equally good?
7889218
Villain in canon

Close to shipping but friendshipping or close to shipping work okay.
AU after or during or before canon are fine.
And yeah Wallflower counts!!!
7893671 It would be more of a teacher-student relationship between the two.
Also, it wouldn't be AU story, it would be just a normal story after the show without the AU tag.
7887406
Do Shadowbolts count if they sang to Sci-Twi, "Release the magic, release the magic... (etc.)"
7894714
Yeah they are minor antagonists/villains!
7893671 I'm still a bit confused. Is AU a required tag? So, if the story approaches canon, it gets disqualified?
7895001
It is the reference point for the story competition theme but if it take place after canon it doesn’t have to have that tag.
My story is gonna be close, but I shall make it in time!
