Except I don't normally write angst. But some of the earlier contests managed to be angst-free! In fact, seems like it used to be mostly humor pieces. Weird.

Ikr? And then the angst-inspiring prompts came in . . . and we figured out that anything could be made angsty . . .

Gosh, I wonder if I can make it in time... Work sure does take a LOT of one's leisure time... but DEYUM, the super heavy traffic where I live is more stressful than the actual work. I'll know tomorrow if I can still make it... Whether or not I do, good luck with your entries guys~

Should get mine in on time.... Hopefully. Why did the due date have to be on Mother's Day? How is everyone else going?

Do we need to extend the deadline just until tomorrow night so that everyone can get an entry in? How many more do we still have out?
I'm finishing up editing today and then I'll decide if it's worth submitting, but... If we could have a show of hands of people still trying to complete an entry? I don't want to extend unnecessarily. Thanks!

*blows bangs away from face* Whatever happens, I want to put in my own entry (I'm stubborn that way, please bear with me *90-degree-bow*). Mainly because not only would it serve as a Refuge entry but also a Mother's Day fic so... But... ugh, work, so I don't really know if I can make it before the deadline... It's Sunday night where I live right now and I have to wake up at 4 in the morning T^T *stares at blinking cursor*

Well, let's extend the deadline until tomorrow night before I go to bed, so call it ten o'clock central time (I think that's three AM on the Cafe clock, so it'll really be three AM on Tuesday the twelfth, but...yeah). I really would like for there to be at least three entries so that we can have an actual contest. I wouldn't want to do voting with only two contestants because that's just...in my mind, it's not right/good/fair. I don't know how to describe it, but the idea makes me crinkle up my nose.
Okay. So let's have entries in by ten o'clock US central time on Monday May eleventh, and then I'll start the voting before I go to bed on Monday. With so few entries to go through, it shouldn't be an issue if we delay voting a day.
Good luck everyone!

Damn it all. I'd come up with two ideas for this one, but I lost interest in the first and never got to write the second - got sidetracked by my Pony fanfiction.
I'll try to make up for it in Competition #10.

Quincy, did you get yours done? I'll be posting mine tonight after work.

So we have three so far. Anyone else? Well, I'll give it two more hours in case Quincy gets hers done. If not, we'll just go with those three. Anyone else?

Did anyone else notice that the entries either start with an s or an r? And the r ones are both one word. And the s ones are both s h titles? Interesting.
Anyway! Voting is open. Good luck everyone! Please have your votes in by Saturday (00:00 on Sunday by the Cafe clock). Entrants, please consider themes and optional prompts so that in the event of your victory, we'll be ready to go with the next contest on Sunday. Thanks a bunch!

(Seeing this right after arriving home from work) D'aww, I din't make it *pouts*
Oh well. I guess that goes with the demands of society *groans*
Anyways I'm still posting mine within the week cos, like I said it doubles as a Mother's Day fic too... Now if only I can split myself in two... *sighs*

Ooh, and I just now noticed~ Aside from the Refuge one (which BTW I can't find anywhere, and I dunno why... a litlle help?), all the stories involve Kaito (and mine would have if I entered it)! :3 That goes to show how much we just LOOOOVE the guy don't we? :") I'll read over the weekends then

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. It's not in the fic library here, but I found it on ffnet. Refuge by AThousandMasks can be found here, if anyone else was looking for it.
