Do you have a pen name in mind?
Not yet. How do I set that up?
You suggest a name and it will be randomly assigned to one of your competitors. Use your power wisely. ;)
My stories: Claire's Cesspool of Sin. I'm always happy to receive a comment on my stories, even more so on an older one!

I also want to submit a story. How do we enter our alternate pen?

Shouldn't this "Sunday January 11 2026," either read Saturday, July 11, 2026, or Sunday, July 12, 2006?

Just write your suggestion in here. Like I did in my earlier post here.
The pen names will later be assigned at random to the contestants.

Yes, there is a mistake from copying the text. Will be fixed

I'll give it a shot.

As far as a pen name, Ralph Wiggum is going through my mind. Super Nintendo Chalmers could pen something.

Two quick questions: first, do we maintain our pseudo-pens through all the rounds? Can our stories continue where the previous one left off?

Yes and yes (probably)

The pen name is an account separate from your current one. You get the login info for that shortly before we begin.

Every round has a new theme. How you implement that is up to you.
If you find a way to continue your story in snippets of less than 1000 words, and fit the theme: Yes, that is possible.
