Alright folks, well, as victim has so deftly pointed out, the deadline for the Nubblies Short Story Contest is fast approaching at T-6 hours and counting.

The sad thing is, there has only been one entry. Thanks Titan. You're the only one on here with balls....or at least, time.

Not many of you know, but I had a pretty bad weekend, which ultimately ended up with me in the hospital. I had planned on procrastinating and finishing up my story this weekend, but that didn't happen.

So I looked at my story last night and realized that it wasn't what I wanted, things didn't make sense, dialogue was trite, and I didn't have an ending....which wasn't good.

It seems alot of you are looking for an extension, and I would be happy to give it. But that would discount the work that Titan put into actually meeting the deadline with about a half a month to spare. And it was a damn good story.

I'm going to talk to Titan and see what the best way of direction is going to be. Whether he just wants us to start a new contest over, declaring him the winner of the first Short Story Contest, since in all honesty, he's the one with the power now.

So we'll get back to you soon. As of right now, KEEP ON WORKING ON YOUR STORIES. If you said that you were going to submit a story, you have to submit a story. It's a plain and simple as that. I'm sticking to that guideline, simply for the fact that I think that I have a pretty original idea for my story and I don't care if I win a contest, I just want to submit it.

Which in essence is the main point, but then again, the cash prize money out of Gazmo's pocket is a pretty good initiative too.
