Formatting must exist within the writing. We do not demand that you write the best you ever have, but we would like to have paragraph formatting with proper spacing, grammar, and spelling.

- Chibis will be check with the quality of your gallery, and if it is lower they will only be worth half points.
- Simplified artworks are subject to have their EA cut in half! This doesn't mean you should do the best ever, but if you are cutting your style down to super simple than normal!
