Is anyone participating? I think only silvercyanide's participating at the moment...and we need two more entries. or is the prompt too difficult?

I have an idea but stuck on the ending so I'm not sure if I'll make it before the deadline...

Hey guys. Sorry I'm still vetting entries. I've been gone all day, and I'm having to actually go through and read two of them more carefully than usual to see if they're okay as entries. I'm reviewing silvercyanide's right now to see if it violates the crossover rule or not. KK's entry about drug addiction was very good, but I think it's a little too mature for a contest. You should still read it, though, if you decide it's suitable for you. She did a really good job.

Okay. Voting is open. I'm kind of on the fence, but I think I'll let it be since, even though it does borrow specific terms from the other show, it's mostly just common Japanese mythology. I'll let you guys decide with your votes.

Polls are closed, and Addy is our winner. Congrats, Addy! If you could please get me the theme and three optional prompts sometime in the next twenty-four hours, that would be great. Thanks!
We didn't really have many voters this time. :/ Sorry I wasn't available to spam reminders about voting this week. My replacement was suppose to start on Monday, but things fell through with her, so I'm doing both my old job and my new job until they can hire someone else. Needless to say, things have been a little nuts.
Still. Thank you to the two of you that did vote, and thank you so much to our participants!
