    I'm seriously considering taking up the gauntlet with this one - it will be a challenge for me to try and write something about something I haven't written about before. Look out for my PM sometime soon...

    Tip to last minute writers. I know you are in a hurry, but in your hurry, do not forget to save your work often.

    I almost mahrlect up bad.

    Assuming I get my piece done. That's two, so far. But if past contests are any bearing, most entries I receive are within the last 36 hours before the deadline which is good because as of writing this post, we have over 100 hours before the deadline. Plenty of time to write something...

    Due to the fact that I started too late, I think will not be able to submit my entry in time for a proofreading service, BUT you can count on me for having at least a third piece. ;)

    MS Word. It's easier to put a WIP away and get back to it later. The spacing gets all goobered when I copy and paste into Lustria-Online but it will keep my font choices, at least L-O does since we upgraded the platform.

    Before posting other people's stories I also copy and paste their stuff into MS Word for a quick spelling and grammar check, unless it's Mr. Scaletail whose editing is always immaculate. Then put it back to L-O. I also found it's easier to copy the template for Spoiler tags and put it in manually in MS Word. But I digress.

    Booyah! That's four altogether so far.

    Per the guidelines set, in order to let voters have two votes each, we need six entries. Can we get two more?

    Wait...
    An edible trophy? Almost too good to be true. And who conceived this delectable delight?

    Y'ttar, you say.

    I might pass.

    Perhaps it’s Warpstone flavour? As a Skaven player too, I should prove immune to any unusual side-effects it may cause... (flicks pink hairless tail about and twitches whiskers) ;)

    Sirs, you do me a great dishonour!

    Ratty Y'ttar brand edible trophies are a known delicacy, the recipe passed down through generations.
    500 gallons of pigs blood, three gross of calves stomachs, 400 little tom kittens, monosodium glutamate, rats brains, I Can't Believe it's Not Warpstone, dung...

    Six pieces so far, slightly over 27 hours to go. Can we get to 7? 8?

    9 pieces would open the option of a third vote.

    The previous four contests were bouncing between five and seven entries. I am pleased to say that this contest we will have AT LEAST eight, I cant wait.

    I'd say the earlier start helped...but I think that's a lie. :p
