*raises hand* I know you said not to include others but what about mentioning names?
 

Like

"Well, you talked about someone named Vaala right? How are they" but Vaala herself is not in the story.

Does the prompt have to be in the story? I only ask because some require a work in, some don't for prompts.

Nope! Have it in the story or out of the story. It's up to you.

I have a question, cause I didnt get the reference. What is "I always loved the wind…...until that mission on Telstrus 3."? To where does this reference to? 

 

Also, does it have to be my character? Like, it should be about Hayley? Or someone else?

I don't think it's a reference to anything specifically, but Teller can let us know if I'm wrong.

You can use your own character if you want or create a new character – does not have to include yours or reference your current simming environment in any way.

Does it absolutely HAVE TO be short story prose or can it be poetry as long as there's a short story to be told? I started writing a waaay more poetic entry and just realized that it might not be allowed. :C
