2011-08-31 [Eleanor]: Thanks. I think I won by default, though, so that doesn't really count.

2011-08-31 [Annie]: Sorry I didn't make it into this one; school started for me this week and I'm still settling into things, trying to get back into my school/work/own life balance. :P But don't worry, I still get on nearly every day and browse around and respond when I have a minute. And...entry one in! ;D

2011-08-31 [Annie]: And to make up for my absence last round here's another one! ;P

2011-09-09 [Eleanor]: I'm really busy with a deadline project right now, but hopefully I'll be able to get something in for at least of one these.

2011-09-11 [Ash]: Take your time Eleanor. :) WC would prefer you get your real life tasks done first.

2011-10-02 [Eleanor]: Can we extend this one? I finally have time to write and would like to submit, but I'll need a few more days to come up with something.

2011-10-02 [Ash]: Yes, I think I'll extend this until Oct 10th.

2011-10-02 [Annie]: Now how did I get the impression that stories only needed to be 200 words minimum but actually need to be 400 minimum....Any chance my two 200s can count for a single 400? ;P

2011-10-04 [Ash]: Nope, you have to follow the rules, Annie. You have six days to fix them up, that's plenty of time.

2011-10-04 [Annie]: Actually it's not, I'm completely swamped for the next week and a half. I'll just sit this round out.

2011-10-05 [Ash]: Eleanor, if you're not participating I can put up the next contest.

2011-10-06 [Eleanor]: Ah! Give me a day or two. I'm going to try to get one in. I promise!

2011-10-06 [Eleanor]: Actually, forget it. I'm just too busy. I'm sorry. You may as well put up the next one. 

2011-10-07 [Ash]: Okay

2011-10-15 [Annie]: I would really love to know where each of the famous first lines you provide comes from. That's part of the fun for me anyway--writing something myself and then looking it up and seeing where the original author took it. :)

2011-10-16 [Ash]: Um... I make mine up.

2011-10-16 [Ash]: The famous first line is 'It was a dark and stormy night' and we used that one

2011-10-19 [Annie]: Bummer.

2011-12-22 [Eleanor]: Whoa. I didn't think I'd actually get one in, and the deadline has even passed. Sorry.

2012-09-25 [Eleanor]: Hardly seems fair, doesn't it? How do we get more people participating in these things?

2012-11-01 [Ash]: Sorry I've been off. WC has never really had too many members, it's hard to get people to participate in contests.
