NOTE: I had no intention of posting any other contest announcements on here. Why? Because this is the Poetry Corner, not the contest bulletin board. Unfortunately, what would be the contest bulletin board, the Saint's Sequel's Contest Forum here on FF is only followed by, like, two people. I realized, after posting this announcement there and getting absolutely no replies to it or anything, that if I don't post it in a fic, no one's gonna read it. -sigh- Despite the fact that my following of the 'Fanfiction Guidelines' has been spotty at best, I do try to compromise and follow the less ridiculous ones, one of them being that contest announcements should not be posted as stories. (So, please, if you're going to bitch to me about posting this hear, you know, just don't.)

Fang: She's PMSing.

Me: Silence, mortal. The point I'm getting to is...I cannot stress this enough, if you are, in any way, involved or interested in the contest, PLEASE follow the forum. It's easy for me to just post everything on there, it makes FF happy, and it keeps everything contest-related organized all in the same spot.

That being said, here is the contest announcement. I apologize if I sounded at all bitchy up there. I'm just trying to point people in the right direction. I realize that my lack of attentiveness to this contest could be partially, if not mostly to blame, and I'll take the fall for that. It's also why I'm trying to get this contest rolling already.

Thank you for your patience with the neurotic Fanfiction authoress.

THE SEQUELS CONTEST! IT LIVES!

No, I haven't forgotten about it, and I don't plan to.

So, I am officially setting a deadline. I'm going to call in tentative, for the simple fact that God knows what my life is gonna throw at me, but. for all intents and purposes, the deadline for Saint's Sequels Contest entries is...

MARCH 1ST!

Why?

1. I want to do this AFTER my trip to Florida.

2. I don't want to do it RIGHT after!

3. It's my birthday. :P

I believe that's good enough reasoning. It also gives plenty of time, in my opinion.

So, I realize, at this point, I don't have enough to do the judging as I originally planned, but I do have plans to reorganize how the fics will be narrowed down and will post my plan after the closing date when I see what has actually been entered.

I will also be posting my choices for judges soon, as well as double checking with my Skype Crew judges. Yeah, guys? You all still up for this? And, yo, Vera and Matt, about those banners and icons and such...How are they coming? Let me know if I need to make any edits on that part of the awards...

Alright, one more thing. I'm not that into bribery. I'm usually not the biggest fan. But, well, I thought it'd be nice to have twenty entries. I don't need that many and can surely manage without, but those ten extra would allow me to do the judging like I had originally planned, ya know?

Fang: So she's resorting to underhanded bribery.

Me: -.- Thanks, Fang.

Fang: No prob.

Me: So here's the deal, people. I would like ten more fics. Just ten. It's not really too hard. So, if you guys give me ten more fics, I'll give you...

1. Another chapter of Dylan's Face.

2. Mine and Amanda's 'Celebrity Jeopardy' parody fic. Something we've been working on...

4. One other new fic. Probably my Murder Mystery one, but we'll see what I have done...

5. I can't believe I'm saying this...I will finally get what is known as The Angsty Fic up and running...The fic that might ruin me upon posting...

So, there you have it. Bribery. Heh, I better get right on this stuff, just in case.

Well, in the meantime, I'll go stick this up for you all to read. I will be posting news on any new developments right here in this forum, not to mention any real big developments will warrant a PM or e-mail to anyone involved in the contest.

Thank you for bearing with me, folks!
