Here's everything else you need to know:

• Who will judge the stories? The stories will be judged by the public, and then we will highlight the top 3 voted stories on the OPR website. 
• What will the stories be judged on? This is a contest in interesting and original writing set in the OPR universe, so it's important that stories are written to fit the setting. The criteria are "Concept & Originality", "Flow & Clarity" and "Adherence to the Theme".
• Who can submit? Anyone can submit a story,  and you may work alone or in teams.
• How many stories can be submitted? Each participant may only submit one story.
• Who has the rights on stories created during the jam? The story writers retain the rights to their own stories, and they won't become part of the OPR universe unless specifically agreed between the writers and OPR after the jam.
• Anything else? Submissions may not contain nudity, hateful language, or hateful images.
