Please ask any questions about Rule 3: Story Requirements

3.Your submission must fulfill all of the following specifications:

• Use—at minimum—one of the (premade Wolves) OR (draw yourself or commission someone else to draw your own wolf OC) OR (draw/commission someone else’s wolf OC while having explicit permission to use them from the owner.)
• Have an anthro wolf, or wolves, be a prominent character—protagonist NOT included—to the overall narrative for the majority of the story.
  • The protagonist can be a wolf if there is another wolf that fulfills this specification. Examples from 2025’s Jam:
    • A Wolf In Headlights
    • The Curious Case of Route 19
      • Yes, coyotes (brush wolves) are counted as wolves. Not all canines are.
    • Farewell, Wanderlust
• Have a word count between 2,000–25,000 words.
  • If stories are first written in languages with low space usage, such as Thai, then we’ll go off of an approximation based off of a theoretical English translation.
• Either be (an Original IP) OR (a side-story, prequel, sequel, midquel, etc to an established IP you own or have explicit permission to use from the owner.)
