@kittycrafter I think your post was cool and i could tell you spent a lot of time on the story, characters, and art... but after discussing it with one of the higher-ups we didn't think it was related enough to Splinterlands.
There isn't anything wrong with posting in the Inkwell or any other community (which i think that was a good community fit for your story) and it's not required to have the contest in your title or anything. We just felt like it wasn't enough about or connected to Splinterlands.
For this contest, we do only allow one valid entry per week. I know you spent a lot of time on your entry but you still have until Saturday if you want to whip something up. Or you can try again next week. I would encourage you to continue on. I really like your art and writing style. I hope this helps explain things a bit. Try to make it more Splinterlands centric... but i do think creating your own characters is an excellently creative approach as well.
