Hello! I just have a quick question, and if it's in the faq, please just tell me and I'll re read it, but are you paired up, then the winner is moved forward and then that just continues? And, is every entry either a comic or a written drabble (as in, do you have to do either/or or both?)
Yes, that is how the elimination works. Winner’s entry becomes canon and their character carries on into the next round of pairings, single-elimination style.
The entries all have to tell a coherent, cohesive story. The traditional medium is indeed comics and/or fics - a blend is possible with illustrated fiction, for instance. These methods tend to be the simplest ways to do it. Other OCTs in my own experience have occasionally welcomed more unusual or experimental forms of storytelling such as animation or flash story games, but these tend to take so long to create and/or carry such risk of glitches or other errors that we don’t recommend the attempt for this one.
