2006-01-28 [SleepingDragon]: This'll be tough for me since I havn't thought of lust as a sin for a long long time now

2006-01-28 [Emily]: The point is to challenge the mind. :)

2006-01-28 [Kuzco]: And challenge the mind it will, at least in my case. This'll be even more of a challenge than "100 words". You're killing me :P

2006-01-28 [Emily]: Well, practice practice. I'm glad you take such a keen interest in these contests. :)

2006-01-29 [Kuzco]: It's gonna be a big one....just to give a heads up.

2006-01-29 [Emily]: Make sure to post the length so I know how long it'll take to read.

2006-01-29 [Kuzco]: roger that

2006-01-31 [fanfic_addict04]: um..I put the name of my story on the submissions line...but I don't know if I did everything right...I need help!

2006-01-31 [Emily]: All fixed, Fanfic.

2006-02-02 [SleepingDragon]: And another entry. Anyone for a bit of ancient history? ;)

2006-02-03 [Emily]: Okay, your title rocks, SleepingD.

2006-02-03 [fanfic_addict04]: good job on your story sleeping dragon

2006-02-03 [SleepingDragon]: Thanks a bunch...and you too. I've read but got distracted while trying to comment. I'll be back around that way though, promise :)

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: Alright, I'm oficially in. Gonna be a tough one against your pieces guys. :)

2006-02-05 [SleepingDragon]: Whatever happens, this has been great fun so far, reading the entries (and the sample) and exchanging comments. I hope to see more entries soon!

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: Yeah, the more the merrier

2006-02-05 [Emily]: I've read all so far and I can say that this is gonna be a really tough choice. I do hope more people join, though, so go put some word out!

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: Been doin' it :P

2006-02-08 [Fuzzysabeast]: [Emily] I finally got my story up, Ihope everyone enjoys it

2006-02-08 [Emily]: Thanks so much :D

2006-02-11 [Emily]: I made your warning a little more serious, Fuzz!

2006-02-12 [Fuzzysabeast]: Thanks though I didn't attempt to write so heavily

2006-02-17 [SleepingDragon]: I'm happy to report that doing this contest has inspired bigger (and hopefully better) things. I've decided to start a longer project in a similar setting. I've got the plot outlined and have started writing. Hopefully in a few days I'll have something to show. :)

2006-02-18 [Emily]: Oh man. That's sweet... hurry up and post it!!

2006-02-20 [iippo]: How sad, I'm the only one of the "going to participate" -people who hasn't yet. :/ *toddles off to write*

2006-02-21 [Emily]: I'm waiting just for you, [iippo]!

2006-02-21 [iippo]: :O

2006-02-21 [Kuzco]: pull your self together *closes iippo's mouth* go, write! ;)

2006-02-21 [Fuzzysabeast]: Yes iippo we want to read your story. write, write we say>

2006-02-21 [fanfic_addict04]: here here! *points sword in air* all for one...

2006-02-21 [Fuzzysabeast]: And one for all!

2006-02-21 [iippo]: Arrite. Meep, comparing to the other ones, it's not that lusty... >.O

2006-02-21 [Kuzco]: 'tis done! I guess there IS such a thing as group pressure ;)

2006-02-21 [iippo]: There indeed is XD

2006-02-21 [SleepingDragon]: coola boola. Should I read it or would you rather I didn't? (refering to your house wishes)

2006-02-21 [SleepingDragon]: BTW 268.Metal Daze is the new project I mentioned before. Still in progress but 4 chapters are up

2006-02-21 [iippo]: Letters are safe readery :3 It's the rants that I'm sensitive about. But thanks for asking. *glomps*

2006-02-26 [~solitaire~]: Hmm! I would like to submit an entry! I hope im not too late!!

2006-02-26 [~solitaire~]: There we go! I managed to write a short story based on the theme.. do let me know what you all think!!

2006-03-06 [~solitaire~]: Hey.. dudes? Anyone out there??

2006-03-07 [Fuzzysabeast]: Yeah some of us are here but not too many people come here too often. This contest has been up for like two months now. Most of us have done our writing and have nearly forgotten about them.*smiles*

2006-03-07 [iippo]: Well, suppose the contest could close if no one else plans on entering?

2006-03-07 [Fuzzysabeast]: I would hope that maybe it would.

2006-03-07 [~solitaire~]: That sounds nifty! I mean.. assuming [Emily] is ok with it...

2006-03-08 [Fuzzysabeast]: Maybe we should all get in touch with [Emily] and bug her about it...?

2006-03-08 [~solitaire~]: Is she prone to killing people on sight? If not, then let's poke her a few times! ^_^

2006-03-08 [Fuzzysabeast]: Poke away, she shouldn't attack you

2006-03-09 [fanfic_addict04]: I'm here! still, lol. I thought I was too late for the end of the contest...but emily hasn't even put it up!

2006-03-17 [Nightshadow]: Hi there, kids. I know this contest is running long...I have a message out to [Font] inquiring as to [Emily]'s whereabouts, since they chat a bit. We'll see from there...she may very well be on Spring Break and somesuch, and got bogged down by tests immediately before. :) It's a bit early to perform a hostile takeover considering that the contest never had a hard deadline...but if it's still running in a month, I'd be happy to facilitate closing it and rounding up some judges. Again, no one assume just yet that [Emily]'s abandoned you. Her net could be down or any number of other reasonable explanations.

2006-03-18 [Emily]: I haven't abandoned anyone!! -flapflap-. I've finished judging and am posting the results shortly. As for an excuse of my absence, I will make a diary post.

2006-03-19 [Kuzco]: Welcome back Emily :). Great contests, congrats everyone, great entries.
