Oh...
• Your entry should be something you wrote specifically for the contest at hand.

Unless I'm greatly misunderstanding something, nvm I'll back out Specifically, if it has to be something created purely for use in the contest, then I'm out

I think that quote is saying you cannot pull something out from the back-burner and submit it (i.e. you have written something a while ago that happened to work with this theme. You cannot submit that entry because it was not created for the contest, when it was really written before this contest was even started). I hope this clears this up.

Immediately regretting my choice to attempt to write three different perspectives. Well, I guess I know what I'll be doing in Spanish class.

that's exactly the intention, thanks for clearing it up. Anyone who's submitted in the last couple of days -- I do see your PMs, I've been struggling through a mountain dew incident with my keyboard that's really slowing down my computering. I'll respond soon. Also expect an announcement shortly about the voting period -- a last-minute thing has popped up that *MAY* push back the deadline by a day or two. More on that later.

Well, I still regret my decision to write from three different perspectives. And making genocidal maniacs sympathetic is still hard. And I have five days left now.

I don't know what I plan to accomplish, but maybe I can write something in time.

I think so, seeing as how there appears to be a bonus category for that. I'm throwing references around left and right.

I wrote a story, then relistened to the song and realized I got the lyrics wrong, which changed the entire meaning of the song. The actual lyrics would be boring, though, so I have to find a different song.

Why? You could win the "Furthest from original meaning" bonus category!

Shoot, you know, you brought this up like WAY earlier and I didn't say anything. And now I feel terrible because you may have already done considerable work on your stories already, but uh.... We're sort of limiting it to one entry per person. SORRY! I hate springing that on you late. BUT -- if you do wind up writing more than just the one, and you'd like to include the others in the contest thread, just for people to read (and not vote on), I can totally make that work. Please send me a PM when you get a chance -- the last thing I wanna do is stop you from writing something when you've got the itch, but the second-last thing I wanna do is somehow unfairly impact the contest. We can talk things over a bit and figure out something equitable.

I kind of wish we'd thought of that. Surely there's a way to phrase it as a category, that wouldn't totally undermine the inspiration theme. Oh well -- maybe next time!
