Okay. Good luck getting it done! Please have it in by Sunday so that voting can start on time. If not, you can always still finish it even if it won't be in time for the contest.

Part of me wants to try. Another part feels I'll miss the deadline.

Good luck guys! Hopefully you'll be able to get it in, but I think we need to do a better job of sticking to deadlines so that the contest dates don't all get messed up. I feel terrible that the voting and everything got screwed up last contest. It's unprofessional. I'm going to do a better job of staying on top of the contest deadlines in the future, so the voting will start first thing Monday morning after I get my kids fed.
The good thing about having multiple contests is that if you miss one, the next is right around the corner, and you can still publish whatever you're working on, so it's not like your efforts were wasted.
Again, good luck getting your entries in on time!

I have a couple things that could fit this theme, one of which is more done than the other. Hopefully I'll get something finished and up.

I've got another HeiZuha fic brewing (two, actually) which fit the prompt pretty well, one of which would probably exceed the 5k word limit. But I'm afraid I've got my hands tied on something else so I'll just save them for later. Gomen ne... *bows 90 degrees*

Is it okay if I exceed the word limit by 20?

That's probably fine. It's only 20.

Yeah. If after you've picked and pruned you still need those twenty words, that's fine. It would be ridiculous to ask you to cut out stuff that you need.
The way I think of it, 5,100 words is okay if you really need those words. 5,300 is toeing the line. 5,500 is crossing it. Those are my personal ideas, anyway. I always go back through and analyze every word. "Do I really need this?" "Is there any way I can be more succinct?" Of course, I'm always so close. But if after you've done that you still need the twenty words, that's fine. It's all about doing due diligence.

I think that's a good way to think, mikau! It helps trim down the unnecessary words //nods// efficiency is key, as my history teacher says XD
//glares at the one 8.5k chapter that was supposed to stay in the 7k range like the others

Hey there guys! Voting will end this Saturday, so if all entrants can think up their next contest ideas along with optional prompts, that would be great. I want to start the next contest on Sunday so that there's no delay, so please be ready in case you win. Thanks a bunch guys! Good luck to you all! I'm so excited about how many great fics we have this time. You all did a wonderful job.

Hey there guys! Voting will end tonight, so make sure to get your votes in! Also, if the participants can have their ideas for the next contest ready so that we can start the next contest tomorrow, that would be awesome! Thanks again to everyone that entered!

We have two going on now, Kaggami. One started last week, and another one is going to start tomorrow once this one ends today.
