    Oh, wow I didn't look at the comment section at all [the reason behind why I wished to be messaged since I rarely check the comment sections]

    Gaby: Try to work on your story a little more or just pick a different option that will be easier because I don't want to read short, short stories [like the one "Good Enough" which I have yet to read but seeing that it only has 500 words, it won't be a finalist. And of course, Flyleaf is awesome although I prefer them better when they weren't that known.

    Andy: Must enter. Everyone who clicks this page must enter lol.



    Soda: Thanks and don't worry. I'm probably gonna extend the end date further and further every week =D

    kiki...: Hehe, yes i have a lot more list of bands that I like--that is like 1/30 of them lol. Although MCR beats the rest. And if 2+2 is hard for some people, well they're screwed XD

    TheRedPen: I'll try to get more options on there soon =]

    EVERY PERSON ENTERED/WILL ENTER THIS CONTEST READ

    I specifically typed that the minimum word limit was 950. I'm seeing only 2 entries that meet the word limits! I'm not going to disqualify/remove anyone or any entry from the contest but entries that do not meet the requirement will have NO chance of placing anything AND it is NOT making me happy at all.

    This is a REALLY awesome-sounding contest... does it have to be a full story? cuz mine will take a while, and it's DEFINITELY going to be more than 5000 words long. If you wouldn't accept that, or it wouldn't have as good a chance at winning, please tell me, and I'll just enter a different contest... but I'd REALLy like to do this one! If not, though, that's fine. Just let me know!
