For inquiries regarding the contest, please refer to either Kylan or Azila.

I'm not sure where the results are. The two of them are both probably rather busy. Patience is a virtue. Smile

I'm pretty sure getting things done by the deadline is a virtue too.

Good one, thunder_dude.

Though there are SO many entries. Still, expecting to turn in stuff by the due date is the same for the entrants.

Hmm...I expected to do better, but it could be worse. Oh well.

Oh, and sorry that I came across as mad. That was actually a joke.

Congrats to everyone! Amazing! I think this might be the biggest contest turnout EVER. So yeah. Good job!

Haha, this is so hilarious. Both of my entries ended up as #4 and #5, just a bit before recieving any kind of prize. Oh well.

Thank you very much! Awesome contest, again. You must do another one!

Sad I entered too! Didn't you read my story? It's called Revenge. And I did it on time. You can even check. So what's my percentage?

OKKK I think I see why you guys missed it. I was so sure I posted my link in the threadm but going back, I don't see it. I guess that's my fault. I though I HAD posted it there. But I haven't Sad.

That's disappointing. I was anticipating for the results quite anxiously but due to my stupidness... grr. Well could you critique it anyways? And let me knwo the percentage. I know it's my fault and I'm truly sorry. As you probably want a break from judging...

....please??

Congrats, everyone!

Mizz Iceberg>> I will review your piece. I'm sorry that it wasn't part of the contest... that's really unfortunate. Sad
