It's treating me like a royal pain in the - *kicked out*
No but in all seriousness I will definitely have something to enter. I finally found a decent point that I can stop at before the 10k word limit, but it's just not going to end where ideally I would have it do so. So... two-shot with the first part being the one entered in the competition anybody? Unless I can finish it up and figure out a way to cut it all down, of which I'm doubtful. But I'll find out when I actually finish it, which should be within the next day because I have Friday through Monday off of work, woo! Don't worry Mikau, you'll at the very least have your third entry. :3b

Thank you! I love you!
Yeah. My own entry got way out of hand and became a multi chapter fic with the first two chapters comprising my entry. I didn't even get to the scene that I had wanted to be the main focus of my entry, so...
But I'm glad you found a stopping point that you're happy with! ^.^ I look forward to your entry!

(talks to self: "Goodbye 777th post mark!")I'm alive and kicking (LOLWAT?!) And I'm definitely still in, promise! Cos this is my first attempt for a 10k competition entry. And the fanart would have been a waste otherwise. Only... I'm in the process of PARAMODE-ing right now because my word count just hit past 6k and there's still so much I want to say!So far I'm happy with how it's going. I just need to make it as un-dragging as possible *looks at intro and cringes* and put in non-speaking phrases/sentences. Still weary about any inconsistencies, though, medical and legal stuff-wise. I'll get it done, promise!!! ^^;)v Random comment: I noticed just now how this smiley right here ( ) looks similar to Hattori Heizo, or at least Conan's imitation of Heiji's old man. LOL

I don't know about mine, I've started over three times and it made me wonder if the idea is working at all. I still kind of want to finish it though, and I think I can still do it before the deadline, if I really try (I can do this, I can do this *starts motivational chanting*). But I'm glad that we're going to have three (or more) entries, whether or not I finish, so at least we're going to have a vote this time

Yay, I finally finished it! And I hate it. But it's done! And oh my god I hate it so much.
The urge to scrap the entire thing and start anew is strong. But not only do I not have the will for that, but I don't have the time either so woops, I'm going to be submitting it anyway. And apologising beforehand because oh my god it sucks I'm cringing so hard.
That being said, openoffice is clocking my total word count at 12333 so... two-shot it is! I might have attempted to edit enough words out if the end result had been less than 1k over the limit. Maybe. But editing out almost 2k words is neither something I'm prepared to nor willing to do lest the quality of the story suffer. And seeing where the quality is anyway.... A two-shot never hurt anybody!
Should have it up by tomorrow, but Sunday at the absolute latest. C:

Okay. Good luck in adapting it to fit the 7,500-10,000 word limit!

So, is there some wiggle room for being below the word limit? I mean, I thought I had 7,5k, but right now every site/program is giving me a different number, and I have no idea which one to trust. None of them are under 7,4k, but still ... *freaks out a bit more*

Word says that you have enough? Let's go with that then. I'd say that the 7,500 is pretty set in stone. Maybe within 25 or so words, but if Word says you're okay, we can call it a day. I use Word myself.
My family is just sitting down to dinner now guys, so I'll start the voting as soon as we eat and I help clean up. We should be done by seven, but, if not, it shouldn't be too much longer after that. Man. I still have to open the Themed Contest 17 too. :/ I've been busy today.

I use OpenOffice, but yeah, according to that I have a little over 7,500. I'm just going to go with that then and post my entry.

Hey everyone, I know I've been MIA after I submitted mine (and for that, I am so sorry!), but I wanted to say I've read them all and I am so amazed at what you've written! Good luck in the voting, and know that I am rooting for all of yours over mine!
