Since freezair is the one passing out the stories to the judges, I'd say it is postponed until the 7th.

Fair enough, then; that's an official word. The contest will go on until the 7th, if only because we need at least six or so stories to have a reasonable judging pool.

Bumping to remind people they can still submit if they want.

You'd better. I don't want to discuss the... consequences if you don't.

...wink Thank you for trying, though; seriously, this is gonna be a lame contest without more submissions.

We've actually got a somewhat more decently-sized pool of entries now. Still not as big as the last contest, but it'll do. Still! Submit more, y'all!

Since it looks like we'll have enough entries to end the contest (at the end of) tomorrow, I should ask: How long do we have for judging?

A week, like last time. Unless were a bunch of slowpokes again in which case it'll be a week and three days.

Carbon meant judges, I believe, not entrants. There are more than three entrants, is all I will say for now. Just don't broadcast it here when you submit your story, otherwise people might get wise to which entry corrisponds to which person.

If nobody objects, I think once the date rolls over to the eighth, I'll post a link to each story here both for easy access for the judges and for the perusal of the other entrants.

Well, shit. If I had known there would be a delay, I could have still salvaged the last 500 words. **********************

You still have a day—that's plenty of time to fix 500 words!
