I'm drinking from mine right now!

Normally I stay as far away as possible from Aliens, but lately I've been reading an awful lot of sci-fi, and Isaac Asimov has inspired me to give this a try.
YWS Mug, here I come!

Why not?

Nice

I think I may give this a shot. Sounds fun.

Are we allowed to also post them in the publishing centre to show others?

Hmm... probably should have specified that in the rules.

But, since I didn't and as my 7th grade teacher would say, happy groundhog day! Go for it.

Extending this contest to November 17. If you've already submitted an entry, feel free to revise it and submit it again!

Oh, hey. Now I know this is a thing. *brainstorms ideas*

So whats up with this thing?

Results will be announced in a couple weeks.
