Question: The contest ends on the 25th....does that mean I can turn mine in on the 25th? Because that's the only chance I'm going to have to type the whole thing out.

I was wondering the same thing.
Mine is rather long I'm afraid.

When the due date is [day], it generally means that it needs to be handed in by the end of that day, TD time. Considering the few entries, I have the feeling that we'll be very lenient about when people hand them in, and the 25th is more of a "please" than a "must."
So, if possible, try to get it in by the end of the 25th. If you can't, just drop a note in here saying that you've got one on the way, and you just need to finish up a little something

Cool. Um, just an advance warning that I might not be able to get my story in right on the 25th. I mean, I can try to, but given that my thesis is due on the 30th, that has priority. So, should I just hand in whatever I have on the 25th, or is it alright if I hold it over until the 30th? I mean, 5 days is quite a lot, so I'll understand if you want it done on the 25th.

Neko, if I were a judge, I'd let you submit your entry after the 30th, no questions asked. We all know how busy you are with the thesis, so I don't think it should be a problem.

Okedokiee! I'll try my hardest to get it done by the 25th. I just wish more people would actually participate. But, anyway.....
Better get back to writing!

Thanks, Sphi. Can I take that as authority? I mean, I have a rough story idea which really needs polishing and stuff, and while it's great to use the TDSC as a means to add to my procrastinating (), I just need time to fix up a few things. Actually, it might be done by the 25th, on second thought, because I haven't done much thesis work today...

So, I've run into lots of unexpected randomness lately - working nearly every day the past two weeks, getting into two horrible arguments with my best friend...anyway, I haven't had time to sit and work on my story! But I really do want to submit it, or at least part of it since it's over 60 pages long in a word document. It's all written, I just have to figure out where to cut it off at for the submission, and make final adjustments, that sort of thing. I will try to have it in by the 25th...Just thought I'd mention that. If I end up changing my mind, I will let the judges know by the 25th. Thanks loves! <3

Don't worry, Hermy! I'll be participating as soon as I can find some free time. I was hoping more people would enter, too, but at least we do have a few really good people here now.
Sure, Neko. That's fine. I think Robin and Di would be even more lenient about it, so don't worry. (So you procrastinate too, huh? )

Thanks, Sphi. (Yes, I'm an awful, awful procrastinator. Luckily, I've tried to get it out of my system... well, tried... : Anyway, thanks for that.

Hey, just letting you guys know that I might be a day or two late with getting my story in. I'm afraid I shouldn't get on this place first if I intend to write my story, because there are some topics that have ended up getting my full attention and I've lost track of time...
I mean, by the 25th I can get a rough draft, but it won't be polished. Friday is my next day off, so that means that I can stay up late and work on it Thursday night and everything. (I'm sorry, my body is just the type that needs 8 hours of rest or I'm just a wreck at work....that's why I haven't stayed up really late working on it). I hope this doesn't sound bad. Having work that is scheduled right smack in the middle of the day really sucks! Because it takes up both the afternoons and evenings. Anyway, shutting up now. I'll have it polished by Friday (night, at the latest) if that's okay.

As it seems lateness is the calamity du jour - I'll take it upon myself to extend the deadline until 8/30. I'll notify the real powers that be so that everyone can be informed!

YAY! *glomps Robin* I rewrote the beginning of my story, so many things have had to be altered consequently. I did figure out a cut-off point for it though! If nothing else goes wrong, I'll have it in by the 30th, then! ;D
