Only 24 hours left for the contest! · 7:01am May 2nd, 2020
Okay, procrastinators, this is it! Last call! The countdown is ticking down!
As of this post, you have about 24 hours to submit your story to Dirty Little Secret’s Dirty Little Contest. Don’t worry -- you can actually get a lot done in 24 hours! People might be shocked about how many of my stories were written in less time than that. You can still do this! But time is running out, so if you’re still not finished, you’d better get started now!
Oh, and don’t forget to leave time for the story to be posted on Fimfic! If you’ve already published a few other stories and can skip the mod queue, that can still take quite a while, since Fimfic only allows one new story every 10 minutes. If it’s one of your first stories and you have to put it through Fimfic’s moderation queue, you’d better get that started right away -- it can take a long time sometimes!
And as much fun as it might be to try for the prize of being the last story submitted, remember that it’s a risky gamble! One minute too late, and your story won’t get to be in the contest at all.
Good luck, everybody!
Finally, I am so sick and tired of always seeing blogs about a new Story related to the contest

Heh, yeah ... I have been spamming those out quite a lot lately, huh? I think I might skip that part in the next contest I (eventually) run.

If those are too annoying you can un-follow until the contest is over.
(Don't forget to re-follow afterwards!)

Consider bundling the notifications.
For instance, you make only one post per day/week/something with all the stories which had been added in that time period.
That way people will get informed without being overwhelmed (or annoyed) by the number of posts.
(Also, you currently have exactly 200 blog posts.)

And before this contest, I had 40.
Yeah, I can definitely see why some people would be unhappy about that!

Sorry that I sounded really angry about that, but it was really hard to get updates with other blogs from Friends and other readers that I follow, when I constantly see blog after blog about another story in the contest.
The only bright side, to seen so many blogs was that so many people stepped up to the plate to create some unbelievable stories.
