Don't worry, Pete. These two nice gentlemen have them. What? It's a straitjacket? No, it's your grammar pants. And they're going to take you to a grammar home as well. Oh, I can already imagine the properly used commas... the eloquent semicolons... the accurately structured quotations!! Not using elipsis like that you can't. Anyhow, if you guys are going to just churn out half-assed entries cuz you couldn't think of anything better; just do me a favor and keep 'em short okay? I mean, if you're so uninspired that you can't spend the time needed to make them good, don't ask me to read 4500 words of bad.  It's a courtesy thing. |

But there is for using them in place of commas.
Unless of course you're interupting yourself.

Bah, had to study for math and french exams this week. I'm not too far in, hopefully I can complete it tonight and edit it tomorrow.
And Zovo, don't worry. If it's bad, at least I know I've tried my best. I'm really excited to see how this will turn out...

I think I finally figured out a nice premise for my story, but I feel like it's been done before.
*shrugs*
I'll come up with something to make it novel.

Why do I always feel like I have an amazing, original idea, and when I get it on paper or typed up it always seems so unimpressive to me?
Whatever. I begin editing tomorrow, and it'll definitely be posted before night time. I'd wish my opponents luck, but I think I'd be better off saving it for myself...

It is nice to see everyone is so committed to the artistic process, and learning with each step. Making sure to devote the proper time and attention to the commitment that has been made.

I'd like to ask for a 24 hour extension. I just wrote up a lot, hated it, got mad and then accidentally screwed the whole thing. Serious! It was an accident! I didn't just spend the hours of 2:30am to 4:40am writing something that I'd just delete! Arg! Hatred! So yeah, can I has extension? Pretty please?  |

Ask the Alm ighty Judges. Their wisdom knows no bounds. |

QFT - I spent the entire week researching and revising. Damn near wrote the whole thing again I edited so much in and out! Definitely using all that I learnt during the Monthly Assignments. |

We've only got two posts, and the deadline is tonight. We might have no choice but to extend...

If its fine with Reffy and NotAlice I'm happy for a blanket 24 hours extension. Like always, it's up to the writers who made the deadline to decide if an extension is allowed for their match.
So with the Taed-Drall-Ali match and Bloodeye-Walder, I can't see any problems with it.
