In reply to Elaine Jinto. Work can be inspired by other stories, but we don't accept edited material unfortunately.

Hi, this is not regarding the flash contest, but I would like to know if we can submit existing plays which we had edited and made better?
For my school project I had to do just that with a Bengali play called Rats on a Train. I edited the translated version, and made it longer and better. I would like to submit it to StoneSoup, however I need to know if that is allowed.

In reply to Nikita. You don't have to include it. As long as you took inspiration from it for the sequel that's what counts!

For this month’s flash contest (Nov 2023), should we include the AI-generated short story along with our sequel submission?

Hi, do we have to use chatGPT or can we use a different ai?
