[CONTEST OVER] JNC Original Light Novel Contest

Damon Cavalchini

I decided to restrict my outline to the first arc (three volumes) as it is a natural ending point and I'll be happy if I get there. The main questions in the arc ae resolved, the Big Bad is defeated, the Hero lives, etc.

I do have future arcs planned but, personally, my approach is to break it up into manageable and publishable chunks - especially as we only have 10,000 words total and I want to give them certainty that this has an end point.

I really didn't want to be that person, but...

I submitted my work about a month ago, since I figured that I wouldn't have time to work on it anymore until much later. However, it seems that in the end, I was able to translate the manuscript into my own language, still this year. Of course, while doing so, I found some more mistakes in the English manuscript, despite all my best efforts to eliminate every single one of them before submission.

I know that submitting my work again will get me in trouble. But I just want to ask if there is a way or if I'll have a chance later on to fix those things before the preview is made available on the site (that is, if I ever pass the 2nd round).

The mistakes are not that critical, but as a perfectionist, of course they bother me a lot.

Wish you all a merry Christmas and good luck to everyone.

Hi, based on how things went last year. This seems highly unlikely. To the point where I would say the odds are so insignificant as not worth considering.

Sorry

Okay, the mistakes are not that bad anyway. Either way, it won't even matter much, since I'll surely be eliminated.

Just making sure, but when submitting for the ongoing category, we put the full word count which includes the manuscript, outline, and characters bios, not just the manuscript, right?

@AuthorMN

Should just be the words in the manuscript itself. That being said plenty have entered the full word count. No one will be penalized for that.
