Help

On the 100 word practice thread Soul Writer pointed out that he had made a mistake in his entry and used the word conduits instead of the singular conduit. He caught it in time.

Guess who did the same thing? Is using the plural a dis-qualifier, and if so, can I change my entry after it's been submitted?

And I call myself a reader.  ::)

If Leaders were perfect, they wouldn't be leaders. :)

See, there, I just read your 'read' as 'lead' :P  So I'm in the same boat.

In the body of the message is fine.

Re. Heidi's query, the words must be used exactly as specified, so plurals would not be permitted. If you want to change your entry and resubmit, PM the revised version to Laura. Hopefully she will be in a good mood and allow this  ;)

How do you know if your submission was successful? I had a bit of trouble with copying the letters I saw in that box. Ashamed to say it took me four tries.

Every entrant will receive confirmation of receipt by pm. If anyone has sent an entry and not heard back let me know so I can confirm that it is safely tucked away for judging.

Having said that, remember that we're an international bunch. Your waking hours may not be my waking hours, so confirmation may not be immediate.  ;)

I didn't say anything about sleep. I do have to plug into the generator, though. Otherwise I get cranky.

Just two more days to enter the Prize Flash Fiction contest.

Remember to observe the 100 word count, and title your entry.

Last call!
