    Would this be considered an 'approved misadventure'?

    Well if it was emailed to you a while ago and the only reason you couldn't do it was because you left your assignment to the last minute hence couldn't access the notification due to sudden network failure, no. Misadventure has strict rules and regulations, and failure of technology does not...

    Creative story?

    Just remember key tips e.g. explore a concept of belonging, use language features, have a motif (if possible), link back to stimulus (note stimulus is only meant to do that- stimulate a story, therefore although you need to maintain a strong link you do not have to bang the concept ofbelonging...
