How is everyone doing? Just a reminder that entries are due on the thirty-first!

So. Show of hands. Who's working on a contest entry for the 10k contest?
I'm going to try to pound one out today, and I know rainbow was working on something. Is there anyone else? I'd kind of like to have a bit of a stronger turnout for our first 10k contest...at least three entries. :/
So...the deadline was supposed to be this coming Sunday the thirty-first, but would another week be beneficial to you guys? We have some wiggle room built in between this 10k contest and the next one, so we can extend the deadline an extra week without throwing off the schedule if that will mean more entries.
So who would actually be able to do an entry if they had another week or two? Who is actively working on a contest entry?

Understandable, Starlight.
Katrin, does that mean that you're writing something, or were you just giving your opinion?
I'd like to hear from people that think they'll be getting something in or trying to get an entry done so that I know if it would be worth it to stretch things out in the first place. If no one's going to enter regardless, then there's no point in an extension. :/

Awesome. Okay. Then it looks like we'll have three entries if Katrin, rainbow, and I all get ours in on time. In that case, let's have the entries in by Sunday June seventh. Please remember that entries for the 10k contest have to be at least 7,500 words at minimum.

Sooooo.... How's it going? I was thinking of doing another extension to Sunday June fourteenth in order to give everyone as much time as possible since the second 10k contest doesn't start until the beginning of July, so we actually have some wiggle room. I think in the future I'll allow six weeks for writing and then do two for voting so that it takes up a full two months. That makes sense, right? If we get three weeks to write 5k, it should be six weeks for 10k?
So let's plan on doing that. New deadline: June 14, but that's as far as we can extend. Please have entries in. Thanks a bunch guys!
I really want the turn out to be good since it's the first 10k contest. ^.^;

So. Show of hands. Who is going to make the deadline?
I don't think I will unless I really power through Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. :/ I've only got 2,500 so far, and I'm only through the intro and Heiji's telling of the story. I've still got Shinichi, Kaito, and Hakuba to do. :/
Well, maybe with the deadline fast approaching that will motivate us to get a move on. Ganbre, minna!

Well, I probably will finish in time if I work hard this weekend, but it doesn't look like we'll have enough to vote on. Oh well. I suppose if we don't get three, we'll just come up with new theme suggestions and vote on which one to do next in July. I don't suppose extending to Monday or Wednesday or something would give people enough time. :/ Is there anyone else still trying to get in an entry?
