Cool. Question: if an entry contradicts existing or planned future lore, will it be altered by Jagex or disregarded entirely?

It will depend on how much - we could do either, but unless it is a tony tweak needed it is likely to be disregarded. Mod MattHe | Former Community Manager, now in Events & occasional Lore Monkey

This competition looks awesome, definitely would give it a try.

One question though: Is it okay for the entry to be a monologue with unnamed characters? I'm not that comfortable with thinking of names, plus I think monologues would work nicely with the 250 word limit.

Thanks.

To quote the OP

Original message details are unavailable.
We would like to invite you to write short texts that we can add to this amazing in-game library; a very rare chance to add content directly to the game. They could be almost anything – a piece of fiction, some undiscovered lore or the ranting prophecies of a dangerous seer. It is up to you to decide.

When in doubt, use characters who won't likely effect the plot line ... much.
Such as:
- they knew the famous character and can add a Point of View. While there isn't a date to establish exactly when it happened, you can tell the story. Much like any story telling, it can be taken with a grain of salt, where the PoV could be embellishing it (sort of what Ozan does)
- the character is already dead. again, whatever they might have done, they can't do much now ... because ... well ... they're dead.
- if they were somehow in charge, they were only in charge for 1-2 days. In this case, imagine a pharaoh whose reign lasted 2 days before dying of a mysterious illness (sadly healers couldn't save him from 19 spontaneous stab wounds ... their medical science at the time could only treat 15). they may have passed a law, started a project, or wrote down some words of true wisdom ... but given their short reign, credit could be easily taken by another.
- day in the life story - mundane, but can help tell what life was like for the person or for the region. since it isn't tied to any particular event/moment it could be any day.
- random - journal entry after the person drank one too many beers ...
- something artistic - maybe a character had a secret artistic side and you attribute a poem or song in their hand writing
