This one is going to be fun especially the 'trapped' prompt. Mwahaha....

Yeah, that prompt kind of gave me an idea for a chapter of A Light in the Darkness. Maybe I'll use that chapter as my entry. Or, conversely (It's not "inversely", is it?) use my entry as a chapter. ^.^

So, I'm gathering that people are busy. Who all is working on an entry for the Help theme?

I've got something that I think might work, but like for my last entry it's gonna have to cover quite a bit of ground, so the writing will probably end up patchy. I'll see if it turns out before I make any commitments on entering.

I've got a great idea I've been rolling around in my mind, but it's rather canon-divergent/alternate timeline-ish and I don't know how well it fits the prompt. I mean, one character goes to another character for help, but...it's turning out to be less narrative and more introspective, haha.

I really want to try writing something for this one, and I've got an idea, but I tried something for the last competition too, and it failed miserably... Still gonna try though!

I gotta question. Can I just post my story here, on this thread? Do I stick it in the Fanfic Library? Or do I have to publish it on FFN before voting commences?

Not on the thread. You put it in the Fanfic Library under the Contest Entries sub-board, and indicate in the thread title which competition it's for. Doesn't matter whether you post it on FFN or not.

Hey guys! Just a reminder that the entries are due this Sunday, March 22. Voting will start Monday March 23.
Who's still working on an entry for contest six?
Mine should be done in the next...oh, either before I go to bed tonight or maybe sometime tomorrow. I'm working on wrapping up and editing it. How about you guys? Where are we standing in the creative process?

I just finished mine! Now I have to edit it, and I'll put it up on FFN right before threading it here. Wooh!
