If you don't think that your tale is good enough, please don't submit it

and remember the prime rule- no unfinished tales.

I am sure it is not good enough to meet the criteria of my critics, of whom I am chief

as for unfinished, most assuredly any "tale' could continue..

got ya point just was kinda making my point, 3 months, or is this normal?(for a poll or nomination process) to be open..with no activity?

the comp stays open until all the places are filled

then the polling begins

must allow people some time to write up the stories

once the semis, then final's polls have been finished the next comp starts

it is not a race to chomp through them

although I must admit to being quite hungry to read more and more of them

it sure is good to have the link "Show a Printable Version." this helps me for having great yarns to read on the train to and fro the office

as to whether or not your story is up to Scratch - well just ask him

he is a good lad who will share his thoughts with you

and who are you to judge your stories - just cause they are yours right - no way buddy boy

you need to submit them into the forum so we can read and enjoy them .... chop chop

Seconded.

If I had used my time more wisely I coulda jammed out another 7 stories instead of slowly writing Erwachte and packed the contest.

damn.

[DarkCloud]

SKILORD- remember the revised rules state you can only add 2 stories to any one contest. that's why ripper was delayed to this one

glad to see some new submissions!

[SKILORD]

oh.... yeah.....

that's right.

:sigh:
