    It says "No Rough Drafts Accepted".. what's that mean? It should be neat or...? And we can write about whatever we want? Is it just for fun or is the winning story going to be posted somewhere? xD<br>And what exactly are Game Credits?

    <br><br>I can answer this one. xD Game credits are basically money you have to spend on the game but it's free. Think of a store credit. If you won the $5 credit..there really isn't anything you can buy..but if you wanted to buy a dye..it would be $2 instead of $7 because you are using the $5 credit towards the dye. ;D Hope that helped.<br><br>

    <br><br>I think by rough draft it means you had your writing edited so there are no mistakes and everything is how it would be if you were turning in a final paper at school. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, ect. would all be checked. They don't want messy chat speak stories where you can see the places you need to fix and such. If that makes sense. xD

    Do these stories have to be about nice little chipmunks or can they be about secret wars? W/o goryness and such. I'll stick to vp rules for posting. I was just wondering...

    Is there supposed to be a theme for the contest or is it any type of creative writing?

    If you are using Microsoft word it will count it in the bottom left OR<br><br>you can highlight everything and go into view or something, and it should be in there somewhere.. but I have the new version of word and I have no clue how to get to that xD
