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.

The lack of any kind of response is probably why no one submitted anything this time around.....and probably never will.

victim · 10-04-2003, 08:55 PM

Yeah... it's a damn fucking shame. Especially because this whole thing spawned the Arts forum in the first place...

VOL · 10-04-2003, 09:04 PM

I see and understand.. maybe we'll have a change

Combat Chuck · 10-05-2003, 08:20 PM

Maybe.

Titan · 10-06-2003, 02:48 AM

I won?

I WON!

WOOOHOOOOOO!

I kicked all your asses! AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!

Combat Chuck · 10-06-2003, 11:34 PM

Wow. That was exactly what I wanted to see.

Chuck, the hospital? Explain my dear friend.

How can we get more people involved in the Nubblies short story contests?

Combat Chuck · 10-07-2003, 02:13 PM

People submit stuff. Then other people get jealous and work harder to make their's better.

Just like I did with Titan's piece....*cough*

Titan · 10-07-2003, 02:35 PM

Well that's not fair you scum-sucking sack of shit.

Next time I'm not turning mine in until 2 minutes prior to the deadline.

The point that we're all over-looking though, is that I won the first ever Nubblies Short Story Contest, and you all are bottom-feeding worm-infested horse troph-smelling human toilets. And I'm pathetic.

Combat Chuck · 10-07-2003, 03:03 PM

Oh right. I forgot about all that. Thanks for reminding us.
