I have never written a story that short!!!!

It's always been 500 words and up.

But I'll try. 

Oliver Patrick's edged towards his starship as shouts of anguish echoed around him. He new there was one thing he had to do. His fathers last words before he tried to make contact with the planet Earth and disappeared, were echoing in his head, now mingled with the frantic cries for help. 'Oliver,my son, he had said, "remember me.'

As Oliver's starship rocketed towards the planet, he muttered the words under his breath. He new what he had to do, find the Amulet no matter what. It he'd been stolen by humans years ago. Even Oliver didn't know the full extent of the Amulets powers, all he new was that it protected his home planet and that was enough for him. Oliver landed his ship and took a deep breath before opening the hatch. Outside was the armies of humans shouting in a strange language readying their weapons. Oliver walked down the ramp slowly. "I come in peace." He said but he knew they couldn't understand him. Suddenly, out of the crowd of curious humans, stepped a tall burly figure. This was no human. This was his father. 

Joining!

I know it has to be original, and it will be. I just have one question, or two?

Can I base it off my fanfiction?

Do superheroes count as sci-fi? 

Gared, I think it was unfair what you said to Abi. I understand why, but there are different types of Sci-Fi. And not everyone has the exact same writing style as you, or writing preferences. 

If Abi had written her story your way, it wouldn't have been her story, and it wouldn't have been the same. It would have been Gared's story. And the whole point of a story contest is enjoying other people's writing styles, not changing their story until it's unrecognizable as their's. I'm not telling you that you have to choose Abi, I'm just saying that I don't think you should change her story, just say you don't enjoy it as much, if that's the case.
