2006-03-22 [*Amy*]: yay! I got my first person on the contestants list!*Do the Jig*

2006-03-24 [RiddleRose]: can i put myself up as a sort of tentative entrant? i'd really like to do it, but i just don't know if i'm gonna have time.. >.<

2006-03-24 [*Amy*]: Go for it! If You don't have an entry in by the time judging is supposed to take place, then I will assume it's cause you didn't have time. Or if you know ahead of time, let me know. Yes, I know there is no deadline yet, so when there is one, let me know:D

2006-03-24 [RiddleRose]: lovely! i shall let you know as soon as i have a deadline. or who knows? i might get lucky and have an unexpected time to write in! XD

2006-03-27 [*Amy*]: Alrighty. I will think about a deadline and then you shall know:D

2006-03-27 [*Amy*]: The deadline has now been set! take a peek. unless something important comes up, it will probably not be changed:) If I don't get any stories in by the deadline then I may temporarily take the contest down until we get more members:S that would be horrible!

2006-03-28 [RiddleRose]: unggg... i'll try... i think i'll probably be able to do it. :)

2006-03-28 [*Amy*]: yay! ;)

2006-03-30 [*Amy*]: yay! lots of people!

2006-03-31 [Kaimee]: This is brilliant, somewhere deep in the dark depths of my writings is a collection of crap I wrote years ago. Theres a little unfinished concept thing in there about the end of the world. I think I'm gonna haveta pull it out and play with it xD Old toys much~

2006-04-01 [Kuzco]: Hey, I'll have to back out of this contest. I'm sorry y'all

2006-04-01 [RiddleRose]: urk... amy-chan, i'm still hoping to be able to do this... but things are starting to pile up quite badly.... i'm getting more tentative by the day. >.<

2006-04-03 [*Amy*]: hey, do you guys want personalized badges for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? or do you want me to make them up now?

2006-04-03 [*Amy*]: Oh man! Maybe If things get really piled up for everyone, I can postpone the deadline a bit. Say beginning to middle of may:S

2006-04-04 [Kaimee]: Yes we want badges, and yesyesyesyes!! Postpone the deadline! xD I've got holidays coming up but until then, exam time, and no writing >.<

2006-04-05 [RiddleRose]: badges are love!  we alllll love badges! postponing the deadline would be really good for me, because i have... ugh, really tough mod at school... unbelievable amounts of homework. it sucks. good classes, but too much homework. so i'm not going to have much time... i do have an idea of what i want ot write though! ^_^

2006-04-05 [*Amy*]: So personalized? Or now? Ah all you guys said was you like badges:S I will postpone the deadline though.

2006-04-05 [RiddleRose]: yay! *worships amy for being absolutely spiffing* personalized? i dunno... personalized to our entry you mean? that might be cool... :)

2006-04-13 [RiddleRose]: well, the idea is getting clearer! unfortunately the free time in which to write has died utterly and completely. hopefully and with great tentativeness i shall still make the deadline. XP

2006-04-21 [*Amy*]: i just thought I would post something, that way it reminded everybody that this contest was here ;)

2006-04-23 [Po]: I love the idea of personalized badges...you have become such a master badgemaker! And worry not, I am working on my idea! :D

2006-04-23 [*Amy*]: Good, I was starting to get worried that this contest was going to fall through :S

2006-04-23 [Kaimee]: I have sooomeeeethhhinnng, two or three somethings actually, written a long long time ago, and I will get around to fixing them up and entering them here. Maybe. xD

2006-04-24 [*Amy*]: Okay, as long as they weren't written for any other contests. Don't meen to be rude about it but I had to tell Kuzco the same thing. :S Anyway that would be good.

2006-04-24 [Kaimee]: No no, they were 2 things - paragraphs really - I found that I wrote when I was 12, and recently found, laughed at, fixed up somewhat, and added to the Budgerigar collection in my writings, which is the 'end of the world' thing I'm making for this :P I want to add more though, before I submit them here...

2006-04-24 [*Amy*]: Ok, I just had to make sure:)

2006-04-25 [RiddleRose]: budgie!

2006-04-25 [Kaimee]: Hehe, yeah. "Death, destruction, death, death, death, and a budgie."

2006-04-26 [RiddleRose]: excellent. every story must have some randomly wonderful element such as a budgie in it. i firmly beleve in that.... >.>

2006-04-26 [Kaimee]: I like budgies xD And it seemed appropriate to remember the budgies, instead of just whinging and crying and oh woes meing. The budgies are gonna die too, and you don't see them having a bitch about it, do you? :P

2006-04-26 [Po]: Poor poor innocent little parakeets! *sniffles for the parakeets*

2006-04-27 [RiddleRose]: but how do you know? they might be bitching about it in secret budgie-speak!

2006-04-27 [Kaimee]: You ever own a budgie? It might sound insane to say you can understand them, but you can. If you have them around long enough you get to know when they're happy, excited, hyper, bored, want-to-be-annoying, hungry, sad, tired, lonely, whatever. I can even tell from the other end of the house when my budgie is teasing the cat :P ..oh, and added to that, I wrote the story, so I can make it anything I want xD (bad reason:P)

2006-04-28 [RiddleRose]: i had cockatiels... and you're right, i could understand them! how odd...

2006-04-29 [Po]: My mother tried to have a bird once, I couldn't stand it. The thing was pretty, but it seriously smelled! And I'm not one to clean up birdie poop. :D

2006-04-29 [Po]: Ok, I realize that the first sentence in that last post was rather silly. My mother had a bird every other day. Usually kittens on fridays, and she always had a cow on saturday night. *grins*

2006-05-06 [*Amy*]: hey guys, 10 days before the contest ends. Just a friendly reminder

2006-05-06 [Metal Tsubasa]: Oh shit... hmm... I don't think mine will be done by then... *dizzy* I've beeb so busy lately.

2006-05-06 [Kaimee]: uhm... it would be sad to only win by default, so someone else hurry up and enter please? ^^;

2006-05-06 [Metal Tsubasa]: Alright, I'm working on it

2006-05-06 [RiddleRose]: also attempting to find time to attempt to write... my status continues to be "tentative"

2006-05-06 [*Amy*]: Good Good! I'm excited to see what everyone comes up with:)

2006-05-06 [Metal Tsubasa]: *worry, dizzy* Damn... I hope I can finsih it... along with teh rest of my dealines! Lol

2006-05-13 [*Amy*]: Just over two days before all entries need to be in!

2006-05-14 [RiddleRose]: don't think i'm gonna make it. sorry amy-chan... :( maybe next time

2006-05-15 [Kaimee]: *cries*

2006-05-16 [Po]: *Tickles Amy and begs for two more days* pleese? I have a story that wants this contest, I just hafta put it in words!

2006-05-17 [*Amy*]: I'm giving everyone until the 31st to get their stories done. Yes I know, I'm so kind;)

2006-05-21 [RiddleRose]: whee! maybe. i'll go back to tentative... ^_^

2006-05-22 [Kaimee]: ...Please somebody else enter o.o

2006-05-22 [Metal Tsubasa]: Sorry, I was on vacation and I couldn't get online all that much

2006-05-25 [RiddleRose]: still tentative. my school ends in ten days, so they're loading us down

2006-05-26 [RiddleRose]: i'm gonna make it!!! yaaaayyyy!! i'm almost finished!!

2006-05-26 [Metal Tsubasa]: Not even close.

2006-05-27 [RiddleRose]: i've got enough words, bt the stroy isn't quite done. i like it though. i hope you finish in time metal!

2006-05-27 [*Amy*]: sorry it's been so long since I've been on. the computer sort of crashed for a few days but now it's working again. those of you who participate in my other contest, I'm hoping to have it updated soon! :)

2006-05-27 [RiddleRose]: there ya go! [Kaimee]! you are no longer alone!

2006-05-27 [Kaimee]: Thankies ^^

2006-05-28 [RiddleRose]: i love how the two listed as tentative are the only ones with writings up... XD

2006-05-29 [*Amy*]: me too!

2006-05-29 [Kaimee]: Well, tentative shows that even though we don't really have time we still really wanted to enter, and we have ;)

2006-05-29 [RiddleRose]: heehee! amy-chan, do you know when judging will begin? i mean, will you wait for another entry, or judge just the two of us?

2006-05-30 [*Amy*]: I'm gonna try to wait for po. She said that she is going to get it done within the next few days so hopefully. but other than that. I think I will judge the 3rd of june. I graduate on the second so i will have all the time i need to do it:)

2006-06-02 [RiddleRose]: nice... ^_^

2006-06-02 [Kaimee]: Bugger, I bet Po'll pull off something brilliant at the last minute ;)

2006-06-02 [Po]: *is last-minuteing as we speak* By the way, congratulations [*Amy*]! I'm so proud of you for graduating! *dances*

2006-06-03 [RiddleRose]: indeed! many congratsies and a large and happy hug!

2006-06-03 [Nell]: Bugger, found this page too late. Would have liked to have joined just for the pretty participant badge! xD *Goes to read entries*

2006-06-03 [RiddleRose]: you have til tomorrow! XD write write! heehee... :P (the badge is pretty, isn't it?)

2006-06-03 [Nell]: Oh dear! Now I'm gonna have to try!

2006-06-03 [RiddleRose]: heh... good luck dearie!

2006-06-04 [Nell]: Well, I tried. I couldn't get something decent finished in a day (didn't have time today). Good luck you guys!

2006-06-05 [*Amy*]: Hey guys, i will be judging tomorrow.

2006-06-05 [RiddleRose]: whee!

2006-06-09 [*Amy*]: bad news. I won't be able to judge until next tuesday. I have to go to virginia and I have been so busy with my birthday and graduation and all. I'm so sorry!

2006-06-10 [RiddleRose]: argh! we are going to follow you and hold you down until you judge us!!!! XD <3 happy birthday! have fun in virginia!

2006-06-22 [*Amy*]: the contest will be judged by this weekend. my trip took longer than expected and my internet was down for a few days. plus my brothers band just got signed to a record label and they were spending time with me before they had to go record their first album.:D I promise it will get done!

2006-06-22 [RiddleRose]: ah... s'okay. we all have lives. XD

2006-06-24 [*Amy*]: yeah, tell me about it. I don't think I have been this busy since well......two years ago!

2006-07-11 [*Amy*]: i will have these things judged by this weekend! Po will make me do it!!!!! I promise or you can kick my butt!!!!!!

2006-07-28 [RiddleRose]: *kick kick*... XD no hurry! no pressure! heehee... take your time... ;)

2006-07-29 [Kaimee]: I don't want her to hurry :P

2006-07-29 [RiddleRose]: heh... i'm just being a bum... XD

2006-07-30 [Kaimee]: The bad thing about having a small number of contestants is that there's less people to fail with >.>

2006-07-31 [Po]: I'm not sure when Amy will be back for judging...our computer was down for a while, and she is in the middle of moving and preparing for her first semester in college...

2006-08-01 [*Amy*]: ok people, I know, extremely late!!!! I'm really hoping that this weekend I will be able to judge. Things are finally starting to be less Dramatic so hopefully...

2006-11-03 [*Amy*]: Ok, so I know it has been an unbelievable amount of time since I've been on here but I'm hoping to judge the contest in the next couple of days. I finally have some time to actually do it. I'm so so so sorry I haven't done it yet

2007-01-31 [RiddleRose]: bump bump...

2007-01-31 [Kaimee]: Good girl! :P Is this contest ever gonna end? :P

2007-01-31 [RiddleRose]: i'll just keep bumping around until it does... hopefully i won't die of bruises first... AMY!!! COME BACK!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

2007-01-31 [Kaimee]: Weeee loooovvvve youuuuu! I feel mildly creepy, like a cheerleading group of ex-gfs or something :P I'd forgotten all about this contest actually. I wonder if I"ve read your entry yet? I'd best check :P

2007-01-31 [RiddleRose]: i think i read yours.... long ago... mine was a "stupid americans playing around with too many nukes!" kind of entry. XD i hate my government.

2007-01-31 [Kaimee]: Yeah, I read it again and remembered reading it the first time. It was interesting, I liked the little 'snapshot' type parts of everyone's lives. What genre did you list it under, speculative fiction, modern/contemporary, or contest entry? ;) I'm starting to think we should be able to list multiple categories ;)

2007-02-01 [RiddleRose]: gosh... i don't remember... it was all so long ago! prolly contest entry? that's a nice neutral one. XP

2007-02-03 [Kaimee]: I hate contest entry, because most of mine are of course, but I want to put an actual category :P

2007-02-04 [RiddleRose]: i know... of course, all my stuff that was before all the new genres is just nothing. i don't think i put anything... i dunno. it was all so long ago!! 

2007-02-05 [Kaimee]: Hey! Go update all your genres miss lazy pants! :P

2007-02-07 [RiddleRose]: woog! okay! here i go!!
