    24 hours.

    You might wanna send the story through google docs to preserve formatting.

    I let a couple people sign up late, so I'll let others who wish to be in the contest and didn't sign up, submit a story. However, you MUST submit by the deadline which is tonight at midnight EST, and not one second after.

    Also, people who wish to make changes to their story, but have already submitted, may do so until midnight (EST) tonight.

    Is the 2,500 word max count OK for everyone? Remember, you can go over, just don't go crazy with like 30,000 words. o_O

    Proscratination really is the ennemy.

    Aside from the fact that that was truly terrible, I think Sapphire wanted you to PM her the submission.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Did anyone submit anything?

Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

    I'm done with mine, but I wrote it in Word 2007. Can I just send that file via email or pm? If you have any recent MS Word software, the formatting should be preserved. Google docs is crashing for me, I don't know why.

    There are a few people who haven't turned in their stories yet, but they seem to be extenuating circumstances for the most part, so everyone gets a 24 hour extension on the deadline. Of course, to be fair, any contestant may submit edits or new versions of their already submitted story until tomorrow (06/21) at midnight EST.

    Voting for Round 1 starts midnight! It will last for... lets say 3 days to keep things moving.

    2.5k words? Wow... now that's short. Enough to describe the surroundings or someone's thoughts.

    Took you long enough to complain. Now it's too late.

    1st prize is a 35 dollar gift card. 2nd and 3rd prize depend on mods willingness to pitch in and what everyone suggests. SUGGEST.

    I didn't sign up, so I was just commenting for the sake of complaining.

    Seriously though... 2.5k words is reeeeally short. Looking forward to see what Gotwooters can come up with such restrain.

    Gift card? Hey Sapph... do consider gotwooters are global.

    I initally hesitated on 2500, but thought it was an interesting challenge after trying it out.

    Someone suggested having a longer story contest after this one.

    Americans can't buy gift cards for people in other countries? I'll just give them whatever monetary equivalent.
