Welp, I guess the one way to fix the fact that people kept going over the word limit was by removing it. Let's hope brevity is a word that's in everyone's vocabulary.

[Exit]

Would have preferred a word limit.

@BrokenPromise So you're going to enter this time right?

[BrokenPromise]

@Exit Nah, I'm running a very demanding detective RP, and I just barely have the time to participate as a voter while still participating in two other RPs. If the entries are too numerous or too long, I might not even vote.

EDIT: should note that I'd be very happy if the contests got a lot of attention from both contestants and voters, but I know what I'm capable of.

[Loksfjoer]

Was there a word limit on the previous contests? I'm glad it was taken away for this one then, I don't like having to keep an eye on the word count as I write.

I am looking forward to writing for this prompt, I already know what character to use ^_^

[BrokenPromise]

Welp, I was expecting a bit more of a turnout. unless everyone's waiting for the final day to submit?

[Kho]

I wanted to participate, but this time of year is hell :/ the next one perhaps

[Kalleth]

This humble scribe wishes to express his disapproval in the concept of word limits.

That is all.

[Frizan]

Sooooo uh, sorry 'bout my absence. Went to the hospital yesterday with severe abdominal pain, and it turned out I had gall stones! Yay. Had my gall bladder removed this morning, but I'm home now albeit quite sore. I'll have the voting thread up as soon as I can.

[Loksfjoer]

I hope everything will heal up nicely and that you'll be pain-free soon again.

[Frizan]

And the voting thread is(finally) up!

[BrokenPromise]

Will be reading the entries over the week.

[BrokenPromise]

Seems like there was a decent voter turn out this time. I wonder if that's because there was comparatively less to read compared to previous contests, or because the contests are becoming a thing again.

[shylarah]

Oh crud I didn't even see this until now. RIP me.

[Mattchstick]

I am both surprised and disturbed that my story about a man in the modern era losing everything and being gunned down in the street by Hitler won. Thanks, all you strange, strange people.

So do I get to pick the next theme?

[BrokenPromise]

@Mattchstick Typically @Frizan picks the theme, but he has listened to the community in the past. the collab contest was something I suggested that he ran with. So all I can say is that if you suggest something, he'll consider it.
