Bluehook club rules

Three rules for
the bulletin wall.

The characters, places, catches and conditions are explicitly invented for editorial reading.

A story can hold surprise without claiming a reward, result or real-world outcome.

Nico’s last task is always simple: leave the imagined coast cleaner and the final line honest.
