Well, that's one way to perk the judges' interest... :P

Okay, I lied last time about starting my entry that day. In my defense, it was due to complications that I couldn't have predicted. So this time, I waited before I actually did that before saying it.

Today, I proudly stand before you, a week before the deadline, with fifty words already done! Not one, not two, not even forty two. Fifty. That's as much as four dozens plus two.

...I purposefully didn't write five tens because it reminded me of that.

I just finished. I'm just waiting for some feedback on the conventions, and then I'll send it in.

I'm going to have to drop out. I've had to scrap the ideas I've had, and there's no way I'll finish in time.

1) Sit down at the keyboard

2) Drink a whole bottle of cough syrup

3) Start typing

What have you got to lose?

I got more words in! Problem is that when I do sit down too many come out and I get the feeling if I write it all down it'll be too big. Oh well. I'll get to it. For now I have comic pages to work on.

'Drink a bottle of cough syrup and type whatever' should be the theme of the next contest. And no cheating!

So, wait, does the contest close on July 8 or when 8 people join, or what. The qualifications for when it's over are kind of confusing...

So, I guess my question is, is the contest still open? I'm confused...

Whichever comes last. So if we have 8 entries before the eighth, the deadline is the eighth, and if we don't have eight entries by the eighth, it's whenever we get eight entries.

And by the way, judging is anonymous. As in, I'm not supposed to know who's writing what. So it may or may not be the best idea to announce what you're writing. tongue

It's still open.

The idea behind the deadline is that if 8 people haven't submitted by the due date, we wait for 8 people to submit so that there's a little competition, at least.
