This sounds great! I'm already in another contest on another site, but I think I can fit in more writing. XD That third prompt seems like something I could really get into.

I would love to do this! Can I? I love to write! And I love prompt one. I love winter. And one question. Am I aloud to do more than one creature for prompt one?

Of course! Anyone can join. And feel free to do more than one creature for prompt one. As long as you do something about winter in the MagiStream world.

(K cool...is it a problem if I wanna change prompts? All my trains of thought just derailed. Or, I lost all ideas for the prompt. Which sometimes happens with me...)

I will probably enter this for prompt number 3-I've been meaning to write something that would fit it anyway. It wouldn't be a magistream fic though. I assume that's alright?

*Stares at prompt one and three*

Oh, this looks interesting! It's a writing contest. And procrastinators kind of actually get a chance because it's 3000 words :3
This will be fun~ Not to mention the prizes are awesome. Thank you, Kestrad, for holding this contest! xD Good luck to everyone~

Must comment to find this again. :yarly:
EDITS: It's one entry per person, right?

I haz another question. :haha:

How 'strict' is the 3000 word rule? I mean, I have no idea how many words I will end up with, but just asking in case I do get close. I mean, would say ~3500 words be okay? Or just a few words over the limit?
I have a lot of butterflies. :derp:
