I think the mission of the contest has always been clear and explicit! We had a lot of fun through 38 editions (it's almost a year!), and everybody ever felt free to express her/his creativity in the most desired way.
The title for the contest really says everything: "finish the story". So there is a story and everyone tries to finish it. The word limit is a bonus (a well liked bonus, since @f3nix has to read 10-20 entries every week). Only if you're not finishing the story or telling another story you're out of the theme...so I think there's a very large range of action.
If someone thinks a particular story doesn't fit their style or interest, they can wait for another week, and maybe read, comment and vote for others.
Really, it's very straight and simple!

Thanks Marco 😁 I'm thinking that we could write another Shintiara based episode..
I was taking my cue from the above statement, which seemed to say that we could join in the fun and write, but be out of the competition if we didn't follow the guidelines. Perhaps I read those clear words incorrectly.
I, of course, support the other writers, whether or not I manage to come up with a story. It is a wonderful community of creative effort that exists in finish the story.
I mean every word of the statement which you quoted. We just pointed out that your assumption about others ("I think many who might write are confused about the mission") in our opinion is simply not true and also a bit unfair after the assiduous work of months, where these concepts have been constantly repeated. Now, let's be positive and continue building this awesome project together. A community in which you keep being an important member. Thanks for your constant support and good luck with this week's edition 😉
🙂
Positive, always.
