Either you knew where to find the Dimensional Library, or you didn’t: no ifs, buts, or whys about it. And even if you knew about it, that didn’t necessarily mean you could find it and Archivist liked it that way. The Dimensional Library was no where, and no when, but every now and then a door would open leading someone into its depths and on an adventure they had never planed on. Each book is a gateway to another world and it’s far too easy to stay stuck inside one forever…
The Archivist is the caretaker of the Dimensional Library. He has been around as long as the Library has, but how long that is he won’t tell you. Watch out though he’s got a short fuse with his visitors and if he gets to upset he’ll shove you in one of his books and never let you out.
There is only one way out of the Library, and out of the pages. Find your way through the book and escape, if you survive!

Judging:
1. Character development- How well you portray your characters, is their actions believable, do they change from their experience. Remember the Archivist sends them into the stories for a reason.
2. Grammar/Spelling- We no need poor English! Poor grammar and spelling will knock you some points so proofread before you submit
3. Entertainment Value- We are here to be entertained so make us fall off our seats laughing and be wiping away tears at mournful farewells.
4. Creativity- Does your character just go through the original story, learn that change comes from hard work and jumps out? If so you will be loosing points. Use those creative juices!
