Cool, cool, cool. Thanks for answering my question! I just wanted to ensure I fully understood the rule, I just found the wording to be a bit fuzzy.

"The only restriction on the story is that it has to be between 2,000–25,000 words, have (a) wolf/wolves be (a) prominent character(s) to the overall narrative, not including (a) protagonist(s) for the majority of the story, and fall into one of these three categories"
Does this mean that the main POV character is excluded from the wolf count of at least one wolf in the story, or does this mean that the main POV character can't be a wolf?
Say, I had a story with two characters and the main POV character is a wolf and the other character is something else, would it be disqualified? If the POV switches between the two characters would that requalify the story as the POV of the non-wolf would make it so the wolf character counts to the wolf count or would the fact that the wolf character has the POV at all in the story remove it entirely from the wolf count thus disqualifying the story? If the story was edited for the two characters to be wolves would it be requalified? Actually, I'll make a table
Initial POV | 2nd Character | Qualified or Disqualified |
---|---|---|
Wolf Character POV | Non-Wolf Character | ? |
Wolf Character POV | Wolf Character | ? |
Non-Wolf Character POV | Wolf Character | most likely qualified |
Wolf Character POV | Wolf Character POV* | ? |
Wolf Character POV | Non-Wolf Character POV* | ? |
*Scenario 4 and 5 the POVs switch within the story
