Toni Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Wow! Where is everyone? I came to start reading all the entries, and found only one. Don't tell me that no one can think of something to write about on “To Seek Out New Life…”
Msgrv32 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Still another 10 days or so...but I am just that awesome
AlexV Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I's got ideas, just not time to work on 'em... Hopefully, however, I will manage to make this a touch bigger than a one horse race
kimstapledon Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I's got ideas, just not time to work on 'em... Hopefully, however, I will manage to make this a touch bigger than a one horse race I'm a comin too .
Msgrv32 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 One week left my good friends! I can't wait to read your entries!
kimstapledon Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) One week left my good friends! I can't wait to read your entries!Um... I'm a bit concerned. There doesn't seem to be an arrow icon anymore that I can use in posting my new topic. So like... How do I indicate that it's an entry?Oh found it. It is under "Post options" Edited April 3, 2010 by kvdbreem
Ryan Horn Posted April 15, 2010 Author Posted April 15, 2010 It was an excellent round this time through, as we had 3 of the 4 entries within a single point of each other. We had to call out to the Captain's council to help us get the tiebreaker...But..with no further ado...Congratulations to Lt. Kevin Breeman with Excision, and our runner up, And New Civilisations - by Mailea Labria. Lt. Breeman will be joining the writing challenge judges again, as well as helping us choose the next topic.Great job everyone!The next round will start sometime next week..as I'm going to be moving..and thus no internet til then..

Msgrv32 Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 This is just an inquiry since I know people have had RL things that required their attention. How are the critiques coming?
kimstapledon Posted May 17, 2010 Posted May 17, 2010 This is just an inquiry since I know people have had RL things that required their attention. How are the critiques coming?Hm yes, I wouldn't mind seeing the critiques myself Kevin.
Msgrv32 Posted June 13, 2010 Posted June 13, 2010 Where are those beautiful juicy critiques that I so desperately crave?
