I'm glad to report that the cry for help for the international stories had some result: thanks everyone who took the trouble to read a non-English story and give it a grade!
Anyway, we could still use some more of it, so if you can read either German, Spanish (those two most of all) or French, and have a free hour somewhere this week, your help is still greatly appreciated!
And now we're getting close to the end... Only a few more days: the deadline is this Friday at 23.59.59h Hawaii Time. In short, as long as it's still Friday somewhere on this planet, you can still send in your votes. So make sure you get them in!
Just a reminder for those who want to vote in the easy yahoo polls (simply by ticking boxes): as usual, the polls will be taken down somewhere during the day on Friday - so several hours before the actual deadline. So if you prefer to vote in the polls, to be on the safe side you better do so before Friday!
And as for the camp out story... I've had several requests to continue, and I had every intention to, but as you may have noticed, I got quite caught up in Chameleon Fever since January. My apologies to the camp-out fans!
Anyway, we still got eight months to go this year. And since I didn't finish last year's Mission Briefing until December 31st, I might as well continue with the camp-out story after the PBA is finished, right? It may not be quite the same to have it 'separate' from the real PBA, but still... Better late than never ;-)
So somewhere during or shortly after the upcoming weekend, we'll simply publish the Gazette with the results, and we'll see later on how the Robert brigade and it's female counterpart will fare with our stories back in the sixties. At least it has one advantage - by then I will know which ones turned out to be the favourites, and can simply give them the well-deserved limelight once more :-)
But generally speaking,
DON'T FORGET
DEADLINE FOR YOU PBA VOTES
THIS FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT
Make sure you get them in in time, and your vote could just be the decisive one for this or that category!
