That's midnight Sunday going into Monday; you have the entirety of Sunday to work. At the end of the writing period, any member can vote for their favorite story. Make sure that when you post your stories on FF.net that you mention that the story was written for Poirot Cafe's competition to our readers! Let's have fun and advertise at the same time! Prize:A Custom Badge. Guidelines:1. 500-1,000 words only (with 100 word margin to "wrap it up"), and please include word count at the top. 2. K-T ratings only. 3. No crossovers. 4.

Enjoy!

I'm new to this forum, so I hope you don't mind me asking, but what timezone is this forum following? Thanks!

Look on the top right corner of the forum page and you'll see a little clock that has the forum time on it. Right now, it says "Mon May 30, 8:15 PM".

We call it "Cafe time" but it's actually Greenwich Mean Time. So... England time, basically.

Actually. The forum uses Greenwich daylight saving time. England is an hour after the forum time right now. It's really bothering me, haha.

... easiest way to describe it is UTC±0 (Or just UTC). Right now the UK is in British Summer Time, which is UTC+1.
