[FONT=Arial]I know school has started back for several people here, and will start soon for others; I go back Thursday this week, myself. So, with that in mind, how's about the end of this week for all submissions, the evening of the 17th or [I]early[/I] morning of the 18th? Leaves plenty of time for voting
as well.[/FONT]

[size=1]Maybe not.

Apparently I'm very quick at coming up with ideas. Hence a lot of my good RPGs fleshed out in a day - and I think Allamorph also complimented me on this on AIM. Or someone else.

I know Allamorph but I was just saying =3.[/size]

To be honest, I didn't think people would stress too much about when they needed to submit their entries. Perhaps it was a little idealistic to assume that everyone would write in as soon as possible? :animeswea

Morph is on the right track. Have them in [U]before[/U] saturday the 17th.

[size=1]I bet everyone's doing the little waiting game, where they see what their opponent comes up with first, haha =p. I know I thought of doing that but then I remembered once I get giddy about something I've written I can't stand keeping it on my hard drive.

I see through you sneaky lot! =p

But alas I'm giving my squishy goat brain another day or two to see if it can spit out something a little better than what I have.[/size]

[FONT=Arial]Aye, but you need to have some definite period of time set aside for voting to be able to happen. Since you didn't specify, any of the competitors could have taken up until the 23rd even to work on their piece, which would have been remarkably inconvenient for voters, albeit very good rewriting time for the competitor.

There are always extenuating circumstances to go past deadlines, of course. Laziness isn't one of them :p but if an entry needs more time, more time can always be given.[/FONT]

Yes, extra time [I]can[/I] be given. However, it will be given by me, not by Allamorph. Just in case there was confusion.

[quote name='Lrb'][FONT="Tahoma"][COLOR="DimGray"]Aw crap how did I miss this?! I guess being away over the holidays didn't help. Well, if a spot opens up for one reason or another count me in as your substitute! :animesmil[/COLOR][/FONT][/QUOTE]

Sure thing! Also, I'm sure we'll be doing another one of these sooner or later. Feel free to vote on the matches taking place, though. That would be appreciated!

I don't see a problem and I should be able to get my entry in before the deadline.

Good luck everyone! :catgirl:[/FONT]

[size=1]I've never wrote anything with so many little hidden references and tiny little meanings. I just hope people get it hehe. I still also believe posting first gives opponents the advantage because they can see exactly what you've written and have time and work around it but, alas, it doesn't bother me too much. Maybe there's a way around that...

I love writing about schizophrenics and television.[/size]

Well, as everyone may have noticed, the deadline for submissions has passed. I've PMed everyone in default. If they don't respond soon, I guess we'll just DQ them and move on.

I can't thank you enough, those of you who turned in your stories on time! You're all angels. Next step: VOTING! Let's get some constructive criticism going, some votes turned in, and...kick it old school?

I know that the biggest problem anyone has with running these sorts of events is lack of voters so I'm going to try and vote on every single one.

After work tonight. :animeswea

But you can hold me to it! :smirk:[/COLOR][/FONT]

[size=1]My story is up! Sorry about the delay, Mykul. My online time has just been incredibly... full as of late. I had a lot of fun writing this, though, and if I advance to future rounds I'll be much more prompt.

Now I'm looking forward to reading and voting on all of the other entries. :whoops:

[quote name='chibi-master']Erm...so, if Charlie Bravo doesn't post his story by midnight, do I win by default?:confused:[/QUOTE]

Mr. Maul, Monarck, and Charlie Bravo were all PMed last night. I'm going to give them until the end of sunday to respond...but yes. If they don't get anything in, their opponents win by default.
