Relegating canon characters to minor or supporting roles doesn't qualify, but Chris' role might, depending on how big that role is. Failing that, you can give your story a qualifying connection by either (a) making the format more like an elimination game and less like a battle royale; or (b) mainly using characters who are either based on wiki users or who have previously appeared in qualifying competition stories.
