Hey guys. I just wanted to give you an update. So far we have four contest entries, but two of them are too short to qualify for the contest. I want to give the two entrants time to fix their submissions since it would be really sad if after their hard work on their submissions they were disqualified. So if silvercyanide and stelraetnae could fix their submissions before midnight on the Cafe clock tomorrow (Monday December 7), that would be great. I'll start the voting then. Contest entries MUST meet word limit requirements without exceptions. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

Okay. Stelraetnae has her submission fixed, so we'll be starting the voting tomorrow with the four entries we have provided that silvercyanide's entry is fixed too. If not, it will be the three entries. The deadline has passed, so we will not be accepting new entries at the time. Thanks again for your patience, everyone! Until tomorrow, please enjoy the three finished submissions.

Okay. It's looking like silvercyanide will not be fixing her submission, so we're going to go ahead and start the voting with the three qualifying entries. Thanks for bearing with me, guys.

I usually read Friday evenings or Saturdays during the day before voting closes. That's just how my free time works out, but I'll put something in as soon as I finish.
