I have to specify the emotion? But can't I just leave it a mystery and let the readers figure it out for themselves as they read? Because, I don't just stick to one emotion. I like rollercoasters.

Also pinging myself.

(Well you'll be specifying for the judge and it's the emotion that they receive by the end of the story. you can have dips and turns but the end should be the emotion you specified for the judges.)

Now I'm confused. The ending has to be the one emotion?

here let me explain better (sorry it was like 1am >.<)

Pick an emotion let's say Sadness. You start the story off with a happy scene of childhood then as the story continues you destroy that image of the happy childhood. making the reader feel sad for that forgotten childhood and what happened.

You can tell a story with more than one emotion since it takes a lot of emotions to elicit certain emotions. But the main emotion the reader feels should be sadness. does this help?
