Z, I'm sorry but I just can't seem to write something for this. I've started two stories and they went. . . nowhere I'll keep trying, but so far, so bad.

No SpiderKitty for you!

Dude. No contest.
If it's not Bernard and Hajen, then there's really no point.
-CTP

PS: Okay, we've all seen Bernard's antics. And Hajen's...misanthropy?
I mean, this could be like Fatal Attraction, except Hajen's like a murderous Trinity, and Bernard's like Dr. Who, with a walker and a good drunk on.
Srsly. Could be good.

This makes me wonder... would TheMuffinMan/Fergus be like incest or something? And what if you used your future or past self? Hmm... all sorts of vile ideas are coming to mind...

so who won?

The Deadline must've been expanded. Besides, we're currently in flux...

So, we'll deal with that all later, won't we? Yes, yes, I believe so.

Quick Question:
I've been scouring this sight for a couple of days now, and can't find where to submit our stories.

So: Where?

when's the new deadline

HELLO MY CRANKY DARLINGS.

So, um! Here's what happened:

I set up the contest! Everyone was very excited and chattery and full of gleeful revulsion at things that might be. And then we got closer to the end of the month and people started to whine at me, and I agreeably went, 'Well, all right. Do you want another month?' And people held out their grubby hands like Oliver Twist and nodded fervently and I agreed!

In my original 'here's how this will go down!' post, I gave myself a week to judge entries.

I, um!

I didn't need a week.

Perhaps this was because I received approximately

TWO SUBMISSIONS

*huffhuffhuff*

Which is understandable. Busy time of the year, Season 1 was winding down, I never posted up that picture of the spiderkitty..

But two submissions does not a contest make! As it is, I already know who wrote the winning piece, and he has not jumped up and down to give me an address.. so, in lieu of official word on whether he wants it or not, I'm going to let him decide: to bring the rabid contest into the yard and mercifully shoot it (i.e., call it good where it stands, he receives his prize if he wants it; so does the runner up); to GIVE YOU ALL ANOTHER CHANCE, during which time I will actually post a picture of this abomination..; or.. to fold the plush prizes entirely into CMJ's hand to use as prizes AT HIS OWN DISCRETION.

So, Chip Danger, my blossoming balladeer. *gimlet eye*

What will it be.

First things first:

PICTURES GOD DAMN IT PICTURES

Secondly,

Aw, man. Two submissions? I was gonna do one myself involving Midgets, but... well, y'know.

My suggestion:

Hold on to the prizes for now. Gimme the usernames of the folks who entered, and I'll award them some Donator Points to keep them sweet for now. Meanwhile, let me sort a few things out with Season Two (see that huge forum full of bugs?) - then, in a few weeks, we'll make this an "official" competition, with an MotD and maybe a countdown clock and everything. Basically I'll pimp it for all it's worth (this is why we need pictures!). The two stories that you've already got, you can auto-re-submit.

Hmn. Hmn and damnation.

Lay it all at my door would thee? As far as I see it merit lays in each path.

In one, I get my hands on a guaranteed plush spiderkitty which would be nice.

In another. You all get a chance to take it from me. Which is nice for you lot.

In t'last... Dan gets it to do what he will with it. It may even be put to good use.

Each has downsides...

The first - that I look like a selfish bugger, jealously guarding my prize.

The second - that I have to wait for interminable ever whilst you all bemoan that your time's too full to write whilst you powerplay your characters, only to find that no-one else has submitted owt at the end of yet another month.

The third is that I just simply don't know what Dan could possibly do with a plush spiderkitty that I couldn't do myself.

So... I open it up myself to consultation. If Dan can say he will do something for the good of the Island with it, I'll donate it happily to him.

Or - if some of you will guarantee an entry within a reasonable timescale, I'll withdraw my claim again...

But if not, then you can all look on jealously as I cuddle a plush spiderkitty.

You've a week to post here what you think.

Right, I'll Distract you with the username that I am aware of.. and meanwhile, though I think I know who won the other, I am not for-sure. Sir Name / "glhf-didyougetthis", please Distract a coyote at your earliest convenience. ;D

And, I'll find a camera. I'LL FIND A CAMERA, I PROMISE.

you should post stories!

Take a look-see at CMJ's post up above -- I won't post them until the contest's over.. and we're going to do it up proper-like again.

They will go up eventually.
