Here's what the wearers of the fluffy white wigs are looking for
_{y'know the judges panel XD}

Creativity
_{Your entries really need to blown out of the water as far as fantasy goes. I am not speaking about how well it's drawn, manip'd ect... I'm talking about the cleverness of what we're viewing or reading, there's gotta be heart in that art.}

Originality
_{You *must* have new spins on the old, or have some sense of your own "genre" so to speak. I don't want to see Peter Pan fanart for instance.}

Craftsmanship
_{This is about how the work is presented. If the image is obviously a bad scan,smudged beyond what is necessary, or has camera flash glare, it's possible it won't be a winner.}

The story of why has changed so many times, no one even cares to ask any longer. Not even the most curious of children. Nanalie was one of them. Her bright blue eyes were full of curiosity during the day, but, in the morning, her raven-colored black hair being the mess that it was would make some random passerby think otherwise. Nanalie was a small girl. A beautiful girl. Although she didn't really see what was that beautiful about her. The girl woke slowly to the gentle patter of rain on the windows outside. "I don't want to go to school..." She mumbled to herself, like she did every morning.
Like all children she tried to be as slow as she could, slowly getting out of her small bed, as if she was asleep for a thousand years and just woke up. She walked over to the large window in her room, she loved the noise the rain made when it hit the window. She was now wearing a black skirt, a green tank top and knee
