Ok yeah, I'm not entirely up on timezones but I'm pretty sure it's Midnight for most of Flagland now, and I still haven't heard back. I think it's fairly safe to say it's not going to happen.

I will gracefully concede. I'll send the completed story to anybody who wants to read it after the contest is over (don't want to distract everyone from entries that were actually submitted on time).

I suppose the offchance exists that I might miraculously get the story emailed to me with seconds left on the clock, but I'm not holding my breath on that.
