“Hard Seat from SZ to SY” guidelines

Hard Seat from Shenzhen to Shenyang is a collaborative story with chapters written by different authors.

- Story no longer than 1500 words

- Must include at least one character from previous chapters and one or more connection to previous events.

- Any major changes in style require a transition (e.g., switching to 1st person narration would require starting the chapter in 3rd person and making the transition)

- Stay true to the established characters

- Train is a constant (okay to physically leave the train)

- Each chapter needs a subtitle (e.g., “Chapter 1: Er-Guo-Deas“)

- Read all previous chapters before starting the new chapter
