[quote=@WiseDragonGirl] I just send my entry in, I'm early this time \o/ I didn't bother with the riddles. To be honest I kinda forgot about that when I wrote my entry... Let's just say I was inspired and already knew exactly what I wanted to write. [/quote] Hey, inspiration trumps everything. Nice! We've got two entries in so far. For everyone's awareness -- we're gonna be mulling over some different options, based on feedback and participation on the riddle bonuses. We tried something new, and -- no sweat here -- kind of a miss. The important thing is, you told us WHY it's not as cool in practice as it was in concept -- absolutely invaluable, thanks. We're gonna think on our feet for this contest, and in the future, focus more on some of those points you all brought up. FOR THIS ONE THOUGH -- if the participation just isn't there, to get the habitual bounty of prizes, we'll come up with another way to reward good writing. If the riddles just aren't doing it for you, don't worry about them -- enter your best effort on the FEAR theme, and we'll do our best to dole out a fair number of prizes.
