Hey, I'm wondering. Is it possible to submit a story that's pending publication to the group? My story'll definitely be done by midnight (Eastern) but might not be approved by then. Is that okay?

Okay, first chapters done and it's submitted, now on to the final chapter, number two.

Unrelated, don't let yourself get distracted by random youtube videos

Here's my story! I'll put it into the contest folder as soon as it's approved!

Good luck, all!

I would like to point out that, right now, three stories in this contest are in the popular box. With mature turned off, a fourth joins the popular box, and one of the three goes to the featured.

Are we awesome, or are we AWESOME?

3447836 It think the word you're looking for is superawesomemazingciting.

Super-ultra-extreme-awesomazing?

3448571 All the good words put together!

OH YEAH

I wrote up reviews of the six entries (I hope no more were added since then, I hate when that happens).

Find them here.

Note that there's a good chance I didn't like your story, but I tried to be constructive. And kind. :B

3446384 Hey guys. I'm dropping in to give an update. I'm sure you've noticed the folder isn't closed...

Well, I haven't heard from Ava in over a month, Surry isn't answering my texts, and he's been on once since his first week with a gf. Personally, I'm going through some psych things and major changes in my life at and away from work. I'm currently seeing a psychologist regularly, and my time has been stretched very thin.

This is why I regret to inform you that the contest has been postponed. The submission end date is unclear, but I'm moving the date back to August 15th for now. I deeply apologize if this inconveniences anyone, and I hope you can all understand. Thank you for your patience and compliance in this situation.

3453257 Perfectly fine with me.

3453257 I'm trying to keep my own long distance relationship going, so I feel your pain. Understood sir. Good luck with life

3453257 Ooooooohhhhhhhhhh! Adda made it sound like I was late to getting around to judging, and was just about to send you a message asking (most likely dramatic message) ranting about how you didn't tell me and why doesn't people tell me these things. Well, I'm glad I didn't send that.

3453257
Take care of yourself. The contest can wait.

3453257
The contest matters not when real life comes into play. Don't worry about it, and take as long as you need.

3453293 Thank you all for your understanding.

3453273 Yeah, it's only been two days. I hadn't even started, myself...

3453310 Part of me wants to do them all at the same time. It's probably more fair that way, but I'm not sure how long it'll take. Should I start now, or is it fine for me to wait until after the contest ends officially?

3453319 Do whatever you feel like, man. Reading them all at once may be a huge undertaking though.

Disclaimer: I called my mom "man" the other day.

3446935 All you have to do is add it to the group contest entry folder.

3446543 That would've been fine, but now it's doubly fine.

3445547
3393457 See above posts in case you want to reconsider joining.

3453377 Will definitely consider it now. But in all seriousness, worry about personal matters first

3453257

I might reconsider now as well.

3346099 Oh what the hay, I'll give it a shot. Haven't done Twidash before, but there's always a first for everything, amIright?

3453564 normally.

3453564 Yay! I finally get to read a story by you! Why this story I can read and the others I can't, you ask? Well, this one I'll be forced to read!

3453572 3453581 Do either of you know where I can find said rubric?

3453581 Thanks Zhe..

3453585 what rubric?

Eh I got a month right?

Count me in too!

3453585 I have motivational issues, so I often can't bring myself to do things unless I'm forced to, and even then I often put it off. I'm judging, so I have to read it. I'd like to read your other stuff, but I just can't make myself do it.

3453588 I thought the original post said something about a rubric

3453617 is this 3230801 what you mean?

3453424 Oh trust me, I'm worrying.

3453446 Yay! I love reading your stories!

3453564 Deciding to write a Twidash, as a Twixie writer primarily, was the best idea I ever had.

3453594 At least a month, and sweet!

3453617 My masterful rubric of ze scorez!

3453642 Just so you know, if you want to talk, I'll be on tonight and open to chat. Unless my dad takes away the router cord again. I really hope he doesn't do that.

3453625 Ah, yes. Thank you!

3453642 I'm more worried about the fact that I can't really do happy well

3346099 How shippey is shipping? Do they have to be together, or can it be a crush?

3453257
That's actually good news for me since I never finished my story

3453257
Hey, RL always comes first, so no worries. Best of luck with your stuff

And on the bright side, it seems we get more stories this way

3346099 Do we have to tell you the events that inspired the story?

3455385
Nope. Just be honest as far as creating the story is concerned.

3455584 Okie doki Loki!

3455385
3455584
What she said.

3453377
Somehow I didn't see that post until now.

Now I feel like a chump. :|

Hey, just wondering. Could I submit a second fic to the contest, now the deadline's been extended and an idea's been burning a hole through my head?

And, what everyone else said: good luck dealing with RL issues~
