I'm now worried about how much I used my location in the story! I had a fishing pier. My character is there for most of it but I did go into back story which wasn't on the pier, more in and around the Lake. Is there a percentage of the narrative that must take place on a fishing pier?

You'll be fine. If it's the prominent location, you've got no problems. FYI I had the same prompts, and yeah similarly there's a little back and forth between the pier and elsewhere. Looking forward to reading yours! |

My C1 story was set up like yours. Scored 15pts. You're fine.
And there was fishing involved too! I'll make sure to pop by and read your story! |

I'm very nervous as well. My location is integral but not predominant. Hoping the other elements carry me through!

I think I've completely blown my location prompt. It's the setting for a pivotal moment, but not most of the story.

Well, we are supposed to use the prompts creatively. If nothing else it'll be a change of pace for the judges. Right? Maybe? I feel like I'm only feeding the spiral... |

My location appears only in the main character's flashback. The rest of the action occurs elsewhere. Sigh.... In the flusher with you....

I actually did a word count, and about 425 words take place in the fish market. The rest is running around a boardwalk and an island in close proximity (it's action/adventure), but then I reference the fish market again at the end. Anyway, a little less than half of the story takes place at the assigned location, but I still feel it's acceptable. We'll see what the judges think.

I fretted over this as well. I had around 610 out of 995 words centered around the rollercoaster scene. The rest was in the amusement park at large. Let's hope for the best!

I smashed my pier to bits around 700 words in and the rest is pier-less. Oh no, the spiral is intensifying....
