Fan Fiction Contest Information!

[Al the Vykker]

Thats fine you can enter a story that is not finished, I will just judge it for what is there, not for what isnt.

[Al the Vykker]

A bit of an Update.

Since I have been a bit stressed with my studying, and schoolwork, and most recently my final exams for second term, I did not finish reviewing the stories submitted.

What I am doing now is finishing reading, and deciding who won November/December's Fan Fiction contest. Im hoping to have them ready for Christmas.

[Al the Vykker]

Well, after Friday night I should be able to finish judging the last two Fan Fictions that were in my PM box. As I stated on the temporary forums, Im sorry its taken so long for the awards to finally be given out, but as we all know, the server problem wasnt too much help in this case. Anyways, be looking for the results in about a week or so.

Once again, you have my great thanks for being so patient in waiting. But with the speed increase its much easier to do stuff again.

Sincerely, Al

3 weeks later, where the hell are the results? Are they on the toilet or something?

[Al the Vykker]

Sorry guys, you know I try to be here as often as I can to keep up with things but its hard to maintain my high grades and keep up with everything else in my life, and some issues going on, added with Music and such. Its easy to maintain my duties around here, but to do other things besides my moderator duties, it takes a bit of extra time Im hoping I will soon have to myself also. And the change in things a few weeks ago set me back a bit, please just bear with me, I would have loved to have them done and such, but its kind of hard to get second opinions on stories also. I seriously hope to have them done for you by the weekend.

I feel your pain, Al. School is a bitch!
(maintaining high grades really isn't worth it unless you have a reputation to keep, just do your homework and get it in on time. That's what school's based on anyway)

When can we start submitting new stories? Are we cut off by this point because of judging? Let us know when we are doing another round.

[Splat]

Ok, all you had to do was say Al. I know what u mean about school, i'm getting literally impossible amounts of homework (for example, 2 essas to do in one week) and it can be hard keeping up with those lucky *coughs* who haven't got proper exams for a few years yet. Anyway, i better go prepare my excuse for my english teacher, see ya!

[Al the Vykker]

Its ok, Im sorry I do feel bad for not having them done, but I try my best to just get here every night still to check up on Fan Corner, and the other stuff and get my normal mod duties done, that I have little time left over for any of the really fun stuff at this moment. Hopefully as spring break is coming in a couple weeks I will have some off time to get another contest going, but I'll really try my best to get these other ones judged.

And 7 months later...

[Al the Vykker]

Splat I know what you must be thinking but...this time around circumstances are much more complex. It wasnt just school that kept me away from the forums for a couple months even though I still came everyday to check up on things *sigh* it was a serious matter of the heart, that perhaps I'll explain more in depth in the coming weeks what happened. I also am going to be working on this contest solely by myself now, Paramiteabe has decided that he is resigning for his own reasons and that he would like to just be a normal member again etc. So I will indefinately postpone this until I feel I can comfortably say I have the ability to run these. Im sorry if this is not what you would like to hear but at the current time I am able to fully still complete my task as moderator here once more and being here everyday to make sure things run smoothly, but I might have to get some assistance from others in creating the contest once more and giving it a fresh start. My apologies and maybe things will change for the better for me with even more time being given to me, and also things being cleared up in my personal life too.

Sincerely, Al
