First thing's first: THIS IS NOT THE PROMPT. This is an announcement topic!
As many of you know, this Saturday is the 4th of July, and most Americans are going to be partying themselves silly this weekend. To deal with that, the time limit of the contest has been extended to TWENTY-FOUR HOURS.
That's right, Iron Ficcers and fanfiction fans, this Saturday writers will have an entire day to write a story based on my theme. I think it's a good one, so there should be some interesting stories.
The time of the topic announcement is also going to be changing, from 6PM EST to 12AM. That is, at midnight the day of the 4th, the topic will be up. So you will have all of the fourth to sneak away and throw something together; or you can do it after you're totally smashed and partied-out.
Please note that the time extension is a one-time thing; I'm not like to make a second 24-hour contest. Please take advantage of this!
Other rules still apply: that is, write whatever you want, make it as long as you want, etc.
Lastly, from now on I'd like to bring on a full-time team of judges. Rooster has, I believed said he would like to stay on permanently. If that has changed since my true personality has come out, let me know. Anyone else with interest, shoot me a PM.
The hope is that if I have permanent judges, I can set a date by which all scores will have to be in for tallying. I'm thinking Tuesday at 6PM EST, so that I can have them up Wednesday. Anyone interested/have a suggestion? Let me know what you think!
