    Also, actual question here. Sorry for so much posting/bothering. When you say:
    Your story must have "finally they saw the light, but it definitely wasn't what they expected." You can decide whether to start with it, end with it, or put it somewhere in the middle! Also, you choose whether it's part of the narrative, or something a character says.
    could we possibly modify the pronouns? Ie, "finally we saw the light, but it definitely wasn't what we expected" or "finally you saw the light" or "finally I saw the light" or some iteration thereof?

    Awesomeness, I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys conjure up! I remember what the Creative Writing crew cranked out last year, so I know you guys are definitely going to roll out with plenty of creative and imaginative gems. :D

    No worries! Please, never be afraid to ask questions, it's definitely not bothersome in the slightest. And hey, yours is a good one.

    I'm totally okay with people doing this. This is one of those things that would likely need to be adjusted to fit for first person or third person scenarios, or if you need to adjust it slightly to fit better with either using it for narrative or character speech. So yeah, if you need to do that, go on ahead, I'm not going to penalize anyone for doing that kind of thing unless they drastically change the sentence. Flipping a pronoun here and there is not a big deal.
