No, the story can have been made at any time as long as it fits the theme and prompt, if you're using a prompt

Yes.

If you can switch the personalities with each other, you can do that. If not, just try and portray them in a way that's new or not seen often in fanfiction.

4) Can we use more than one prompt for one story?

You may use 2 prompts in one story, but know that your score for the prompt section will be divided between both prompts. Meaning 5 possible points for each prompt. 

5) When is the deadline?

Right now there is no deadline. Aya-Chi and I would like to get this contest finished up and pick out the winners late-August or early to mid-September, but if we have a whole bunch of entries and people are asking for more time, it could be a lot later than that. So right now, there just isn't a specific deadline. 

EDIT: The official deadline is October 6, 2013 at 11:59 PM EST. 

6) If I am planning to use some supporting characters who are also from sj, am I supposed to make their personalities different too or does that only apply for the main characters?

If you want to switch up the supporting characters, you can, but we only require the main two characters.
