Aw great, nearly a week away and Im too busy to submit my stuffs, and they're due already! >_<

I'll..just PM them later-ish, when I get my wits about me..

Not done grading yet. So, if you can finish them before tonight then you'll be fine. I'll only hate you a little.
I deserve more of that hate, really. You're too kind. u_u

My complaint, however, is still rather large. This isn't a story. It's a world setting piece, the introductory section of a good story, the first five minutes of a movie, the glow before actual dawn. It's good. It just needs characters, a story, and another couple thousand words.

I can see you having a lot of fun with this piece, and I can see a couple cool stories to tell, but it cannot be finished here. Mad Max is not a story about the apocalypse, it is a very familiar story of duty and revenge set in the apocalypse.
Yeah, I agree with you on this. It is a nice idea, but I do need to actually do something with it. My hope is that I will enter your contests with entries set in that same setting, and hopefully future entries will have plots and characterization instead of oblique worldbuilding.

Tiruin. I just got done with Skyrunner's. It's 12:50 AM here, I have class tomorrow and I'm ready to announce the winner. You have until 1 AM, then I'm cutting this off.

I don't have time to post it then, and especially due to RL stuffs that happened in the past week--it's fully ok with me though. I do appreciate your extension however. A lot. And thanks. :)
Though..I''m very sorry if you really did extend it just for me, or even then so..thanks either way.
Couldn't make the schedule due to...things, that happened in the last week.
I really didn't write it in the form of 'Competition and proving', but in the spirit of doing what I love to do: imagine, create and write. Have a nice night Draig!

I know. But I feel compelled to write reviews, and I don't want to be up all night. I am sorry if I sound angry/ill tempered, I'm just tired. Just enter in next round in a more timely manner, okay?

PPE: In fact, I'm going to write a story for the other prompt, because you remind me that I need to do that. I'm also going to extend your deadline until wednesday tuesday. But just you, since I know you have most of your story written. That will let me run this contest in 10 day shifts, which it needs considering the increased length of possibly entries over flash fiction.

Edited so I can declare the winner tuesday, yell at them to write the next prompt, and then reliably start the next round wednesday.

This is for Willfor's prompt. It's a bit of a stylized flaming pile of shit, but I had fun writing it.
