Story Starters Contest

Does the starter have to be the very first sentence or can I add a sentence before it?

Uh is this contest over?

In the first five sentences as said in the guidelines @ThemagicalEbonyFox.

@Dranzer Nope! There are three days left for participants to submit their stories and after that, judging begins.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I will have to drop out of this ... I can't find time with all this school stuff :/

@neptune It happens. No worries, friend!

I finally have it finished!

Looks like I'll have to throw in the towel as well. I really wanted to participate in this, but there's just too many things going on and too many other commitments! I'll work on some final Review Week reviews instead.

Good luck to the other contestants! And thanks for picking up and hosting this contest, Kays!

I'm really sorry to say this, because I was really interested in it, but I won't be able to finish this in time. College is way more time intensive than I expected and I am drained of ideas and energy. I wrote a few small beginnings based off of the prompt, though, so that was fun.
Thanks for taking this over @Kays. Good luck to everyone else! Sorry about this!

@Sonder @Wolfical S'okay! Nice having you here anyway. c:

That being said, September 30th is the last day to submit in your own time. Don't forget!

The Last Seshiers [2nd Draft]

Submitting mine!

Yeah... I'm dropping out of this too Never really got a chance to finishing my story in time. It was fun thinking of ideas though lol

I'm not sure if I'll get mine finished in time but we'll see.

Nope, I don't think I'm going to finish. I think I'll have to drop out too. It was fun while it lasted.

@ThemagicalEbonyFox That's alright! Even deciding to participate is a brave feat. Remember that!

Ugh, I have to drop out. Got halfway through my story, but I don't have enough time to finish it before the deadline. Might see it appear on YWS later, though.
