[Paradoxical Pacifism]

I submitted my story a few days ago. Was I the first one? And good luck to those brainstorming and writing their stories

 

[Scalenex]

Was I the first one?

Nay, you were the second.

I will definitely need it. Somehow various vectors have aligned against me. Normally i'm one of the first entries in!

 

[Lizards of Renown]

Okay! Draft 1 finished of the story!

I quite like the idea, but I need to re-read and tweak a bit.

 

[Lizards of Renown]

Okay! Entry in!

(Phew!)

 

[Imrahil]

Okay! Entry in!

(Phew!)

Well done to you!

Grrr, Imrahil

*tGWL considers trying to write entries for both the short story and poetry comp in 11 days*
Whatever I'll write will probably be so bad you'll have to read it several times to even get the vaguest inkling of what's going on, but... I guess I'll try anyways.

Wish me luck!

You've got skills mate. If you put your mind to it, you can certainly do it! Good luck!

Indeed, we don't approve of false modesty here.

Finally I've started it!

 

[Lord Agragax of Lunaxoatl]

Getting there with mine, should be finished by the deadline if I can keep focussed on working on it

 

[Scalenex]

Last minute panic is a fine muse indeed. I haven't had time to read the new entries yet. I have been trying to juggle a lot of balls in the air at once this month, but I can post a quick update.

 

[Imrahil]

Good, good, almost 2 votes
that is quite low, I started mine, but not sure I can get enough progress this week... well, we'll see in the end.

Grrr, Imrahil

To my memory, I never failed to get at least one short story in the last 48 hours, so I'm sure we'll have six, thus allowing two votes. We have never had less than five short stories, but we have had five stories, two or three times.

I have a busy weekend planned, so I might not be able to post the two contests immediately, so if someone needs an extra day or two to finish writing, that's fine.

Don't worry, my story is almost finished, so i will surely enter it before the deadline. So yeah, 2 votes minimum.

In the last 4 comps i won twice and took a 2nd and 3rd place.
This round i know my story won't be as good as the previous ones, but i don't care. Imo the idea is really cool, but i lacked the inspiration to develope it in a glorious way.

 

[Killer Angel]

Story submitted!

 

[Imrahil]

Story submitted!

Good work!
Still struggling along with mine.

Grrr, Imrahil
