2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: Must it really contain a candle stick :(

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: You're lucky I didn't make it a rubber duck... *grins*

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask for a candlestick...

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: *snorts* ok, ok, maybe I can write one in XD

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: It doesn't even have to be central. *nods* It could just be mentioned in passing. 

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: exactly

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: Erm... I'm going to have to hold onto my story for a bit XD It's a bit weird *snorts*

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: Aww... come on!

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: Weird? O.o Compared to a tap-dancing nuclear submarine sandwich?

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: Ehm. Who remembers that crazy fuzzy creature I drew, it's floating around somewhere on elftown. Sunrose featured it awhile back? ^^; It has those in it :P

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: o.o But crazy fuzzy creatures rock!

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: Shush you :P

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: *goes back to nibbling on a candlestick*

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: Gah ok it's up, but I'm not expecting to win with that :P It's... entirely unfinished and a silly ending. Gah.

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: Muahahaha!

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: Whoo! First entrant!

2006-02-04 [Kaimee]: *grumbles*

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: *gives Kaimee a lollipop*

2006-02-04 [Po]: Is this open-ended currently? It sounds fun, but I'm kinda booked for the next few weeks with other writing, big and small. :D *bats her eyelashies*  Anyone else remember tribbles? Talk about crazy fuzzy creatures. :P

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: Um... yeah, probably. I know I don't feel like judging one soon (o.o) but we'll see how Augi feels.

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: If open-ended means no deadline yet, then yessum. I dunno if Moorn-sama has a deadline, though. Big bro?

2006-02-04 [La Divina]: Night, all!

2006-02-04 [Po]: Night Augi dear!

2006-02-04 [Mister Saint]: I didn't have one planned. We'll just go till we feel like stopping! Whoo!

2006-02-04 [Po]: *dances* :D

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: Over 1000 words huh? Sounds great, I'm in. What's the deadline?

2006-02-05 [Mister Saint]: There isn't one at the moment. ^^

2006-02-05 [Kuzco]: great :P

2006-02-15 [*Amy*]: I think i'm in too. gotta check the schedule but pretty sure:D

2006-02-19 [Kaimee]: Uhm.... huh? :P

2006-02-19 [Eveningsdawn]: Is there a deadline?

2006-02-19 [Mister Saint]: Not as of yet.

2006-02-19 [Kaimee]: ... Are there even enough entries to judge? ..no ;)

2006-02-19 [Mister Saint]: Yes, there would be, assuming that there was a deadline and it had passed. But there isn't. ^^

2006-02-22 [RiddleRose]: mines about halfway done... soon! i promise!

2006-02-22 [Mister Saint]: Hee. Take your time. ^^ There ish no rush!

2006-02-23 [Fuzzysabeast]: I have about half of my story written and as soon as it is done I'll get it up.

2006-03-11 [Mister Saint]: Rock, new entry! ^_^

2006-03-24 [Akayume]: COOL

2006-05-01 [Sabrina Catherine]: I'm in the process of writing a story! It won't be the greatest, but it's worth a shot! ^^

2006-05-01 [Mister Saint]: yay!

2006-05-01 [La Divina]: I think we need to come up with a deadline for this, bro.

2006-05-02 [RiddleRose]: urk. those nasty deadlines. how i do despise them.... i shall try my level best to get cracking on this one!

2006-05-02 [Sabrina Catherine]: Yay! I finished my story! I might edit it though later today or tomorrow, depending on local criticism.

2006-05-02 [RiddleRose]: ook. i feel slow.

2006-05-02 [La Divina]: O.o We has three entries. I think it is definately time for a deadline. *nods*

2006-05-02 [Sabrina Catherine]: heheh. I spent my whole time, worrying that I would take too long, and my taking time to write the story might have been worthless. That's a load off my chest.

2006-05-02 [Mister Saint]: How does one more week sound?

2006-05-02 [La Divina]: How 'boust we set the deadline at May 19th?

2006-05-02 [Mister Saint]: Works for me. ^^

2006-05-02 [RiddleRose]: snark. ok! perhaps this will actually get me writing... XD

2006-05-03 [Sabrina Catherine]: heheheh. I have just over a week to edit mine.....

2006-05-07 [RiddleRose]: meh. i'm going to have to withdraw from this contest... sorry loves! lack of sleep is making me go crazy... i need rest. :(

2006-05-07 [La Divina]: Aww... well. get some sleep, Rosiepoo.

2006-05-07 [Mister Saint]: Not a problem a'tall. ^_^

2006-05-08 [RiddleRose]: thanks... ^_^

2006-05-13 [La Divina]: Deadline's in a week, duckies!

2006-05-26 [La Divina]: Contest is now closed! I will now begin the judging!

2006-05-26 [Athilea]: I hope you like the story. . .I'm not that good at horror though. . .

2006-05-26 [Nell]: Oh, it's over? Bummer, thought it still didn't have a deadline. Well! Good luck you guys!

2006-05-30 [Sabrina Catherine]: heheheh, I'm a little late.... I haven't been around in a while.... oh well. at least I got on before the winner was announced.

2006-05-31 [La Divina]: Winners will be determined by the end of this week.

2006-05-31 [Athilea]: *nods* Nice. Appreciate it Augi.

2006-06-02 [Kaimee]: Okydoky Augi, glad to hear he's still around then :) And [Sabrina Catherine]... chilling.. o.o;;;

2006-06-05 [La Divina]: Results are in!! Dark and Stormy Scoring

2006-06-05 [Mister Saint]: Congratulations to everyone, for having the figurative stones to enter, and to the winners! And to Augi, for undertaking the judgment aspect. I shall have some badges for you in the next day or two. ^-^

2006-06-06 [Mister Saint]: I have the badges ready, and you will get them tomorrow. They're kind of generic, but (insert 'sugarcoated it's better than nothing line here).

2006-06-07 [Athilea]: I think they look good. Thank you Moorn.

2006-06-07 [Kaimee]: Thankyou! ^^

2006-06-07 [Mister Saint]: ^-^ Thanks to all of you for participating, by the by. You all are definitely not tree monkeys. Monkies? O.o

2006-06-07 [Athilea]: Huh??? I think it's Monkies.

2006-06-07 [Mister Saint]: Blasted English language. ^^

2006-06-07 [Athilea]: What's your first language? Out of curiousity?

2006-06-07 [Mister Saint]: English! *^-^* 

2006-06-08 [RiddleRose]: it's monkeys... XD congrats everyone! pretty badges.... @_@

2006-06-08 [Athilea]: I was always told that ey was replaced with ies. . .hmmm. . .I don't know. I'm good at bad English, and sometimes proper English. And oh, Moorn. . .I just got the feeling that you weren't originally an English speaker. Not from the Monkey comment either, I just didn't think you spoke english.

2006-06-08 [La Divina]: That's scanniness, Athilea... hmm... even though I am teaching him Spanish!

2006-06-08 [Athilea]: Scannines. . .huh?? *is officially confused.*

2006-06-08 [La Divina]: "scanniness" = weirdness

2006-06-08 [Athilea]: Ahhh, I am often accused of that. I've just never heard that particular word before. Thanks for telling me what it means, I'll have to insert it into a conversation with my Networking teacher sometime and see if he catches it. Or my fiance. . .of course I'm sure that he knows what it means, he often hits me with words I've never heard before.

2006-06-09 [La Divina]: I took it from a book by my favorite science fiction/fantasy writer, actually.

2006-06-09 [Athilea]: Really? I wonder why I haven't run across it before. *thinks and shrugs* Ah well, I know it know. ^_^

2006-06-09 [La Divina]: Oh, I don't think it's a *real* word... it was a slang term used in the book.

2006-06-09 [Athilea]: Probably not. *shrugs* I can always figure it out. I mean there were many words that weren't real words until someone made them up, right?

2006-08-31 [Shh]: Is this contest over??

2006-08-31 [Calann]: It seems to be.

2006-08-31 [Mister Saint]: Yus, it is. ^^

2006-09-01 [Shh]: Why is it still in the Contest Section, then? :P

2006-09-02 [Kaimee]: People forget to update :P

2006-09-02 [Mister Saint]: I might not have sent a message to whoever runs the contest dingy... though... I could have sworn I did. *scritches* Ah well.

2006-09-02 [Sabrina Catherine]: os since I got htird place, I can put the trophy type thing in my prfile, right?

2006-09-02 [Mister Saint]: Of course. ^-^

2006-09-02 [Sabrina Catherine]: okies ^^ thanks *runs to her profile and puts it in her house*

2006-09-02 [Kaimee]: I thought we were just meant to keep any contests we listed in the contest section updated ourselves?

2006-09-02 [Mister Saint]: *shrugs* Dunno.
