3648076
Oh yeah, didn't think about that

3648159 Thanks.

Mnmmn joined in.

3648571 Good luck.

3648584 Thanks, same to you if you're joing!

3648585 I'm actually judging.

3648593 Oh, okay! Well then! Oh, yeah! Do I post a fic in this thread like the link once I post it? So like how exactly do I submit it? Sorry, I am new to these contests and want everything to turn out perf!

3648596 Either post a link here or add it to contest entries folder. Most likely I'll notice it and I'll get down to reviewing it.

3648598 Alright! Well, I guess talk to you then.

3647769 Can I enter a fic in this contest and call it a part of One-shotober as well?

3648593
3647769 No! People are actually joining! This means my shitfic won't stand a chance! Now I need to write something serious!

3647769 Let us rock, good sirs

3648937 my thoughts exactly
3648863 i think so. I'm not sure what exactly the rules are for oneshotober, but as long as you started writing it after the contest started, and can get it in before october 4th then your good with us

3648993 let us indeed

3647769 you're going to add a folder where we'll be submitting out stories for this contest, right?

3649034 Okay, thanks!

I'll be promoting this contest on my profile page.

3649984 yes, if you look again it should be there
3650411 yay!!

3647769
Fuck it, I'm in. I probably won't end up actually submitting anything, but who knows?

3652427 this ones going to be two weeks long, so that'll give you more time to finish it.

3653001
I haven't written a story in over two months though. And not for lack of ideas.

3647769 I submitted mine~

3666290 yussss
We seem to have a good number of entries this round.
witch is really good, I just hope we can keep up the activity for next contest

3647769 So. I decided to go ahead and post my shitfic anyway because whatever #YOLO.

Here's The Bugger. Prepare Yourself Before Reading.

3666680 umm... so this is sort of my fault (since i didn't mention it at the beginning of the contest) but were not accepting mature stories.
ill try and get it read by one of our judges, but I don't know how it will do.

3667996 Oh, it won't win at all.

A reminder that stories are due tonight. I think most of you have turned in your stories, but if you havent now would be a good time

3682360 wat. I dont understand
wait a second. that post is dated 6 days ago. Which is three days before I posted the comment you replied to. What even

3682371 You're reading minutes wrong.

When are you planning on telling the world that I won by a landslide?

3682374 nope it definitely says days. idk I think the site is being buggy for me. i cant send messeges either.

the reason we haven't posted the winners yet is the judges are still judging, and they might not be able to until saturday. we'll get the winners out as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience

Judging still isn't done, and it seems to be going pretty slow. I would just judge it myself, but I've submitted a entry into this contest so it wouldn't really be fair for me to judge. If I cant get scores by Tuesday or something, I'll go ahead and judge and just dq my entry.

Congratulations to everyone! I've read all of your stories, and they were all fantastic!

Iron Sonata Bro Galley, if you could get in contact with palaikai and work out there prize with them that would be great.

3700214 Will do.

3700214 i won third place? that's not surprising. almost every contest I join, real life or online, i almost always end up getting third place.

Congratulations to the winners!

3700214

Wow, either of those two other stories deserved to win way more than I did. But thank you.

3713378 Hallo! Imma give you the rev and sketch at the end of the week. K?

3713549

3713378 All I can say is I wasn't the one judging
