We have our first entrants!!! Woo Hoo!!! It's going to be a great contest. I'm lucky - I get to read the entries, but I don't have to make the tough decision of picking the winner. Thanks to our first entrants (and, yes, it is plural!) and thanks in advance to everyone who submits their stories! And, of course, thanks to firefly, audre, and the Renderosity Mag staff for making this all possible, and special thanks to chucksiebuhr for the wonderful image that sparked the contest! Don't forget, 15 October is the deadline.

Thanks for the pressure. :) I meant to ask before. Will all the entries be available for the rest of us to read once all is said and done? Guess I better stop posting and start writing.

At least the top 5 will. Once I finally get the backroom for this forum (I'm going to whine again to the admins shortly), the top 5 will be posted in the back room after the winner and runners-up are chosen. (I have to check with the mag staff, but I suspect that I'll post the 4 runners-up immediately - or do 1 at a time to lead up to the winner, then post the winning story when the magazine hits the shelves.) Anyone who isn't a runner-up can post here after the results are in. And while I was posting, another entry snuck in. And there's still over 3 weeks left! :-) :-) :-)
