    Or perhaps it will be short and concise so Lord Agragax can hide his author identity...

    You shouldn't have revealed that we knew his deceptive plan. :p

    That puts us up to 4.3 entries. I'm taking Scolenex's advice this time around since I am in the .3, but don't worry, I won't abuse my power and delay the start of the contest to work on my personal entry.:angelic:

    Six should be relatively easy to reach. Can we reach the coveted nine allowing three votes per reader?

    Just under 23 hours to go. That's 1360 minutes. That's a lot of minutes you could be writing...

    Submissions are trickling in. As predicted, there are a lot of different takes on the contest theme, but I did notice a pattern. Funny story, serious story, funny story, serious story, funny story, serious story.

    So far I always randomized the order I present the stories in, but this time I'm wondering if I should sort the pieces by these seemingly natural grouping for a better Apples-to-Apples comparison. Or I can let the chps fall where they may.

    Don't stop writing ya'll.

    The deadline is almost here. I can hardly wait.
    But if we had a last minute submission the number would be eight.
    That would be great.

    Ah ah ah
