In contests like these, can we write an AU as long as it follows the theme?

Yeah. See the rules. The only thing not permitted is a crossover...and things rated more than T and things less than or over the word limit if you want to get technical, but...

It can be a oneshot too, right? Or is it too long?

Actually, all contest entries are one shots because of the word limit.
Guys, PLEASE SEE THE RULES above.

Thanks for answering, Mikauzoran, and sorry to ask such an obvious question. The only writing contest I've entered was the AU themed one so I wasn't sure if AUs were allowed in other contests unless specifically stated. Now I'll know for the rest of the contests Thanks again and sorry to bother you.

I...want...to do this one. [Sparkle]O.O[Sparkle] Think you'll be able to make it this time? A lost identity. A lost relationship. Or a lost innocence. Perfect. So many possibilities. She's not listening.

This sounds interesting. Whether I can make the word limit or not is an entirely different stack of pancakes...

She's not listening. Ooh, lost identity. Now I want to do something off of that. But . . . can I even write something 10k?

Me, every 10k word competition: "I'm gonna do it this time!" Me, a week later: ".......okay maybe not."
But hopefully I can do it this time? I've got an idea for a kind of amnesiac fic, let's see if I can do this...
