Okay, I didn't know where else to post this, so I'm gonna put it here. Tongue Smilie

I'm getting anxious to know how my entry did. Will those who entered be given a note/heads-up or something before the 25th? Or is that when everyone finds out?

Call me silly enough to ask this... Tigger Smilie

Well you know.... I am very very proud of this story and it is so hard not to share or being tightlipped about it (I am trying so hard not to say too much). For me entering was the most fun, whomever wins I will throw a party with Big Smile Smilie

My sincerest apologies Rhapsody, for being a bit of a slacker. I was quite busy at the beginning of the month when I should have been writing to our chosen judges. To compensate for this, and ensure they have enough time to make a thorough decision, we have had to set the dead-line back a week to December 31st.

You all have permission to throw rotten veggies at me. In the meantime, have a great Christmas.

I know.... it is getting hard. I am having a hard time to be silent about my story. I am also curious how many have entered, did Loni submit her story? What will be the jury report on my story... arrrgh!!

Ok, I am going to concentrate on my new story featuring Pippin. One more day!!

I am not the only one awaiting the end-result.... Val if the jury is delayed, can we at least submit our stories to our boards where we usually publish them?
