The story follows all the rules of the contest, yet it has just been disqualified simply because it was written by me. To be more precise, because I've published foalcon in the past.

I've just been denied up to $150 simply for being who I am.

Yet, instead of informing me that I'd be automatically disqualified simply for being Bad Dragon, I was left pouring enormous amounts of time into the story, and only after I published it was I informed that I was being set to fail from the very start.
