Its also takes time and effort to produce something meaningful. Big Ups to those who have entered. :thumbs_up

I have now officially entered.
(waits for applause....doesn't get any...sadface)

To fellow contestants: good luck 'cus time's almost up!

To voters: Please don't be afraid to voice your opinions on the stories. For writers, whatever level they're at, any amount of feedback (whether it be a couple of lines or a 10 page assesment) is invaluable to them.

This being said, try and make it constructive. No LoL didn't reads (we got a bunch of those last year...) or cry baby comments or this sucks etc - that stuff is ANNOYING and NOT helpful. And depending on my biological clock, I might just delete them...

Seriously speaking: Be honest, be constructive and be forthcoming with your feedback. Many of us have spent hours, days and even weeks on our stories. The very least you could do as a reader and voter (on a forum no less), is post what you did and didn't like about the stories you just read.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

p.s: if you find it difficult to read off the screen, by all means feel free to print the stories out.

Technically speaking, you have until 11.59 pm gmt tonight.

Regards voting time. I'm thinking maybe a month and a half after the contest actually starts?

So approx start date: 30/12/12
Approx end date: 14/02/13

Just an idea atm.
