Is it cheating if I send something in?

Why would it be cheating?  Do you live inside a comic book?  Do it!  Win big!  Grow hair!

Competing against players always makes me feel weird, even when I'm anonymous and it's not my game.

Apparently you have to be a player to enter. That's a shame.

If it makes for a good story, I won't complain about where the idea came from.

100 words?

How about:

The good guy punches the bad guy in the face a few times. Roll credits.
