I'm sure it's fine. You can always add more after voting, etc, is done anyway.

Yeah. That's a valid option. My intention was to add it whenever I post on AO3 when the voting is done. If I post. I don't know. *scratch head*

I have something I've been kind of working on. I've only got about five hundred words, though, and I'm not sure if I can finish in time for...except that's a total lie and you all know it. -.-; What I should say is that even though I'm perfectly capable of gatling out 8k in the next three days, I'm not sure if I WANT to. :/ Maybe. I'd really, really like there to be a vote.

I'm in the same boat, Mikau. I haven't started writing anything, but I know I can turn out 6000-8000 words before the deadline, so it's not like it's impossible. I just don't know if I want to put myself under that kind of pressure. I feel bad for those who have written stories, though, so I will probably come up with something. I'd like there to be a vote.
It's at least three that are needed for a vote, right?

Soooo...how's it going? We have two entries so far...though, I still have to vet them to make sure they qualify, but... Does anyone know for sure they'll have a third entry for us tomorrow? I just thought I'd check before I killed myself producing six thousand words in one day.
I'm still not sure if I'll make it. I did some brainstorming today, but Saturdays are errand days, so I didn't get any actual writing done.
Maybe, if other people are on the fence about making it, we could extend the deadline another week? There's time enough in the month to do that and still start the next contest on time. That would give sgamer some time to edit up his entry too; I know he said it was a little more rough-draft-y than he'd like, even though he was happy with it.
Thoughts? It would just be nice to have a stronger turn out, and if the extra week will mean five or so more polished entries without compromising the next contest's start date...
What do you guys think?

If you extend it for a week, I will get something written for the contest. Please don't extend it just on my account, though.

Well, I was thinking of getting something together too, and I'd thought Ichthy and you, boogum, were doing the same. And, again, sgamer said he was kind of rushed, and there is another week available that wouldn't mess with the start date of the next contest.
Let's go ahead and extend until Sunday April 17 if that's okay with everyone. I really would like stronger participation.

Sounds good to me. The more the merrier I say.

I haven't started writing anything, which is why I said not to bother if no one else was interested. A week should be enough to get something together, though.

I actually started today and got stumped at about 3,000 words. Hopefully I can come up with something to extent the story before the end of the week. I just don't want to seem like I'm rambling.

Sooo the mod forgot that she still had to check the entries for length and language. ^.^; I'm doing that now, and then I'll be starting the vote. I really am quite pleased that we were able to get two more entries. Hopefully the next contest will have strong participation too.

Okay! All is well and the poll is now open! Additionally, it's Mikau's dinner time, so if you'll excuse me... Best of luck everyone!

Voting is still going on for one more week, guys. Currently, it's anyone's game, so make sure to vote for your favorite!
Also, if the participants could all have their ideas for the next theme and three optional prompts to go with it so that we can start the next contest promptly on the first, that would be awesome!

Not sure if this one has been one before, but here's my offering for the theme prompt collection:
Travel: to move from one place to another, culture shock, road trip.
