*nods* we're sorting that out - what happened was, it was entered as a regular story and RRd and then it was decided to enter into the contest - the usual fix is to scrub the original entry and re-enter it as new, but since it had already garnered votes and comments, and Gav is currently on vacation, it's been left to those with less tech skills to sort out...

Thanks, Rachel. Figured it must have been something out of the norm.

Gav gets vacation time???? He certainly deserves/needs it I'm sure.

he's actually in my garage - i've got him chained to the wall - later on, we take turns hosing him down and poking him with needles. we just refer to it as 'vacation time'. evil4

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I think I'm the only one who took nicola up in her glorious suggestion to use comic books as a plot point. I thought about doubling down and adding sexing cookbook chats, but I just couldn't fit it in.

I was under the impression that a previously posted story could not be entered as a comp entry... doesn't seem quite right.

Also wondering why the comp is still showing as open today. Thought it was supposed to close yesterday. Or is that another thing that has been relegated to the "B" team?

It wasn't previously posted. we encounter this all the time where someone forgets to tick the 'comp box' when they send a story in. Simple mistake.

This actually happened to me. I thought I had ticked the entry box but it had not accepted it. The moderator who received my story was good enough to ask me if I had intended for it to be an entry. Then it became one through moderator magic. That was a couple of years ago.
