Though I'm pretty sure two of those were posted past the deadline...

I had mine up before midnight EST on the 28th, though I wrote it in a frenzy in the two hours before. I note the original thread says "by the 28th;" if this means before the 28th and not before the end of it, then I guess I was late. I'm not sure.

If the ruling comes down that it was in fact late, then I'll happily withdraw from consideration. I entered the contest to break a dry spell, and I'll have a bit of confidence back whether or not I actually participate.

(I'll still read / vote on all the entries either way. Y'all are too talented for me to pass up the opportunity.)
