We judges are discussing a change to the prizes since there were only four entries, and we feel it wouldn't be fair for one person to not win anything when everyone else did.

Let us know what you think about splitting the pot evenly between all four of you.

I think it's an awesome idea. (y)

"Writing, though, belongs first to the writer, and then to the reader, to the world.

The subject is a catalyst, a character, but our responsibility is, has to be, to the work."

*shrugs* sounds good to me, especially with as few participants as there were (which I'm sad about)

S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse
a persona che mai tornasse al mondo,
questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse.
Ma per ciò che giammai di questo fondo
non tornò vivo alcun, s'i' odo il vero,
senza tema d'infamia ti rispondo.

Inferno, Canto 27, l 61-66.

Cool. I'm rounding the pot up to an evenly-divisible 20k so you should all be receiving 5k points apiece.

Congratulations and thanks for participating!

The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won't understand that if we don't protect those habitats, we'll eventually destroy ourselves.
