"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

*Scenario 4 and 5 the POVs switch within the story

Hello! I will respond to this sometime later today.

Okay, let’s go through the scenarios individually because that will probably answer your question the easiest.

These answers are only based on the Scenarios you provided with the two characters. More complicated Scenarios will most likely need more complicated answers.

Scenario 1:

This would count as an “I WOLF” instead of a “MY WOLF”. This would not pass the rule.

Scenario 2:

This would count as an “I WOLF” and a “MY WOLF” but the “MY WOLF” trumps the “I WOLF” in this situation making it a “MY WOLF”. This would pass the rule.

Scenario 3:

This would count as a “MY WOLF”. This would pass the rule.

Scenario 4:

If both characters are wolves in this hypnotical then the outcome is the same as Scenario 2. The POV changes would have no impact on this rule. This would pass the rule.

Scenario 5:

This would only pass the rule if the “Non-Wolf Character” was in the POV for the majority of the story making it a “MY WOLF” instead of an “I WOLF”. This would pass the rule based on those conditions.

If you need a further explanation or have other questions please let me know. It makes me happy to see that someone is actually using the COMMUNITY Tab in an indented way.
