***ONLY A LITTLE OVER A WEEK LEFT! Get to it if you're entering!

Ok, you guys have spoken, and so we can haz a new contest of deliciousness! There shall be two themes to choose from, and you can enter either only one or both -- your choice.

FIRST THEME:
*GENDER SWAP*
~Pick any of the four MAJOR Rinja fics ("Forgotten Dynasty", "Trials of the Heart", "Demon Within", OR "Chains of Darkness"), OR any "Road to Ruin" and then pick any section of the storyline and explore how it might have changed had the character(s) been of the opposite gender. What might have happened if Kiara was a male, and Kopa returning wouldn't change anything, since he'd be a girl? How would Selwisegolo have united the pride of the kingdom if he was a she? How would Chinja's and Umboli's journey be changed if they were both girls?
~Entries can be either in the form of drawings OR writings OR some combination of both.
**RULES:
~No tracing anyone else's work. No bases. No collabs. This must be ALL your own work. This includes BGs.
~ No re-using/submitting old works you've done, or re-use of your entry for another artist's similar contest.
~No adding of your own OCs. Please use ONLY characters found in my works.
~Be CREATIVE, and most of all, have FUN.

SECOND THEME:
*WHAT-IF*
~Pick any of the four MAJOR Rinja fics ("Forgotten Dynasty", "Trials of the Heart", "Demon Within", OR "Chains of Darkness"), OR any "Road to Ruin" and then pick any section of the storyline and explore what events might have changed if something else did or did not happen. What might have happened if Kipendo did NOT die? What might have changed if Taka had NOT run away with Sarafina? What would have happened if Kiara DID listen to her father about Kovu?
~Entries can be either in the form of drawings OR writings OR some combination of both.
**RULES:
~No tracing anyone else's work. No bases. No collabs. This must be ALL your own work. This includes BGs.
