Crap. Let me see if I can still edit the poll since no one has voted yet.

I had to delete the poll and start a new one. Once a poll is begun it can't be edited.
In the future, unless an across the board extension has been given for a contest, please have your entry in on time or let me know that you are going to be late. I know how hard everyone works on their submissions, and it would suck if someone didn't make the deadline and their work was in vain.
I'm being unprofessional by granting so many extensions, but since we haven't had enough participants for a contest lately, I've been too lenient. In order to be fair, especially to the entrants that get their submissions in on time, I'm going to be making an effort to start and end contests promptly.

Can you specify when the contest closes then? A general day is kind of haphazard considering time zones and such. I only decided to write something today because I happened to have some downtime, but cutting it that close means that I need to know like to the hour when the contest is closed. It's still 8/9 for another five and a half hours here. I did end up finishing something, but I posted it in the general fanfic section. It's not really in vain as I think it's a good story and I'm happy with it, but it's something I might not have done if I knew how much time I really had left.

All contest open and close at 00:00 on the Cafe clock on the date specified.
A thought: where to post and when the deadline is is all "everyone knows that because we talked about it so much and decided it together" knowledge, but that wouldn't be something that the newbies know. I don't know that it actually says that anywhere. I'll have to make sure it's included in the rules at the start of each contest. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Ah, so the contest was technically over before I even thought about writing something. That's good to know. I was looking over the rules this afternoon and since people were still posting today I figured it was end of 8/9 rather than beginning of 8/9.

*Blushes profusely* Thank you so much, KK! I didn't expect something I pounded out last minute to be received so warmly, but I'm just so honored that people liked my work enough to vote for me. ^o^
