Final Stretch · 3:16pm Sep 7th, 2018
This is it, folks, final weekend to get your stories in. I hope you made good use of the extra time, because there won't be any more after this.
I'm really excited to finally start reading all these wonderful stories, and so are the rest of the judges.
I've definitely been using the time. I might come in right under the wire and with less polish than I'd prefer, but I should make it.
I regret submitting my story so early; even as others tell me it's great I keep second-guessing if there's more I could have done with it.

Good! The more the merrier, after all!

Remember, there's still time to edit your story before the deadline even if it's published!

There's always "more" you can do with a story, but it tends to run into diminishing returns pretty quickly.
Though if you really felt like it you could still rewrite the whole damn thing before Sunday.
I asked aragon if he was excited to read my story and he smeared dirt on my mouth and punched me as hard as he could in the shinbone
he's a cyber bully

I could, but I've spent all month pondering it and don't think I have anything left to wring out of it, and no ideas for rewriting.
I do think it's good, it's just me spending the month thinking I should have spent more time on it so it could be really good.

The good news for you is, that's just his idea of foreplay. He's very confused.
The bad news for me is now we need to have a very stern talk about our relationship. He hasn't punched my shin in weeks.

Looks like Aragon has needs that you aren't fulfilling. You need to write another masterpiece like Sic Transit to really get his motor running.
Yeah I um.
Forgot.
I guess Booky is earning the right to call me a lil bitch.
Taking one more gander at my entry won't hurt any. Even if I've already relegated my expectations to 2nd place at best. *coughPoshIsHerehack*
I've worked on it every day and it still sucks. I guess I better make the most of what little time is left.
Still, thanks for the extension.
What's that? I have precious little time to panic left?
Well, shit.

Why am I friends with any of you.

I hear you on that one. I've seen a couple entries that seem likely to grab top spots. At this point, honestly, I'm writing more to get the idea out than with any serious hope of winning.
But there's still something to be said for that!

No crashing moons, please!

That's kinda-sorta my motivation of every contest, really. They act as motivators to get me writing something other than the huge stories I'm normally working on. Helps to keep the brain's juices flowing.
That said, contests are also one of the very few things I can channel my inner Rainbow Dash on. I've gotta let her out somehow, y'know?

Very much so:
I'd never before even considered writing an Equestria Girls story. I mean, I've watched all the cartoons, sure, but me? Write a story without talking animals in it? How is that even done?
Well, by bringing a giant magical mole into things, turns out...

Hey man...
I CAN DIG IT
*rimshot*
I'm TRYING, but I keep revising my outline and it's still looking to be 5000 words too long! Curse me and my rambling
Ah well, I'll get it in the end.
