    Killer Angel gets a pass for all the entries he's done in the past, but I need more entries from the rest you...chop chop.

    genuine question: if at the deadline you'll have only 2 stories, are you going to extend it?

    Maybe, but I have enough soft commitments from last minute submitters, I expect to get three or four. I would prefer five or six though.

    If there won't be enough entries let us know.
    A couple of days won't do nothing for me, but i could maybe use a more extended deadline

    Am nearing 1,200 word-things in the off and on time i've had to write. Muse has not been kind to me, so has been quite the slog to get anything down.

    I will make it though.

    The rat makes three, but hopefully we can be more.

    I extended the deadline a few days. I work nights and I realized the previous deadline would coincided with a long shift that, and I be both late in posting and tired enough to make mistakes, so I figured I'd add a few days to push it to a time when I can administer the contest at more leisurely pace.

    As a side effect, maybe we'll get another entry or two.
