Anyone can edit their entries up until the deadline. So you can publish what you have. If you're not at the word/picture limit when the deadline comes, you'll just be docked points. That's only for people fully intending on entering though and have a fairly complete idea. If it looks like a "placeholder" entry, I won't put it in the table. If that makes sense?

I have two questions. First of all, when is the deadline exactly? And second, am I allowed to use a mix of TS2 and TS3 pics or do I have to stick to one game?

You'll need to pick one game to choose from, either TS2 or TS3. The countdown timer is listed in the original post, where Round 1 is announced but there are about two and a half days left right now.

I feel like the answer's obvious, but I have a question: if the deadline passes and the minimum ten contestants isn't met, is the contest canceled? Because that would be a shame

albino-ottsel, yes, unfortunately that is the case. I don't want to keep it open until I get the correct amount of contestants as we have no idea when that would actually be. Not to mention, those of you who joined already may have upcoming commitments and were thinking the contest would be over by then. We're at 5 now, 6 once I add porky in. Which looks like I can actually do now. I was waiting for a little more information, like word count and such but it looks like it's coming along quite nicely.

Vågen, you've been added to the list and, also, I want to welcome you to the forums! I see that your entry is your first post so congratulations on joining us!

In that case, I'm glad I asked before I reinstalled my TS2 expansions! I'll be strictly using TS3 pics then. That is, if I can get this done in the 2 1/2 days.

IKR. Wish I could join but I'll have next to no free time in the last week of June and first two weeks of July... If only it had started a month or two later I'll be keeping an eye on it when I can though and glad to see so many other regulars coming back :D

If I didn't have to work today, I would enter. As it stands, with work involved, I won't be able to get an entry finished in 17 hours. If I had another day or two, then I might be able to get one finished. But in 17 hours? Not going to happen.

Well Darn! Only one hour or so left and still missing 3 contestants...... Don't jettison this contest Heaven. People said they could do this mid- July. Just restart it then.
Inconceivable!
#66 Old 13th Jun 2013 at 7:40 AM
Sorry guys. I overslept this morning and didn't have enough time to finish my entry. Spent too long planning the story and not enough time writing my first chapter. I agree with porkypine about trying it again later. Middle of summer seems like it could be a good time, before school starts back up and after summer classes end. (Well, that's how it works for me anyway.)

Still, so bummed right now. I had all my pictures done too!

*Sigh*
I really really tried. I have it written and just finished my crappy screenshots, but not enough time to put it all together and post. I just couldn't rearrange my time enough in only four days. I wish I'd known about this contest sooner. So very sad right now. Even more so since we won't get to see how anyone's story turns out. I'll check back here in case this re-opens in July as others hope (fingers crossed).

Sorry guys! I guess it's a busy summer or there are less people than normal checking the contest area. The home page advertisement was too little, too late. I'll give consideration to hosting another one later in the summer but I doubt it would be this same contest. Knowing in advance would give unfair advantage to those of you already working on it and I like to be fair.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a story! I'm sure the 5 chapters would have been amazing!

Since this contest won't re-run. Here's a very brief list of the planned chapters.

1: Fairies discuss thye arrival of the humans
2: The advent of the werewolves - first one bitten
3: The arrival of the vampires - creepy guys going around biting everyone and the need for a cure before everyone is infected.
4: The infection that kills too many resulting in the zombie invasion
5: The modern town with all those guys and the race to find a cure for their afflictions before everything goes to pot. I mean, like, we're dealing with vampire werewolf zombies! YIKES!

So that was the planned outline. :P

Actually, Now that I think of it, it is more a horror story rather than a fairy tale..... But it IS a Fairie's tale. I know, it's a terrible pun...

Thanks for sharing the rest! A fairie's tale instead of a fairy tale, that's a creative spin. Sounds like it would have been fun.

Aww

Hopefully next time it will get off the ground. I think it's just that there's been so few contests around it hasn't really occurred to people to look. I'll miss not seeing the end of everyone's stories!

Sorry to see you not make it. I wanted to enter, but my home internet hasn't been working. Finally got it worked out today, but too late. I saw the contest on my phone, but couldn't enter

And I agree Tamlyn. With the exception of my contests (shameless plug: Strangetown cycle coming later this summer) there has been a lack. I have been watching because I'd like to enter one. I really wanted to enter this, just couldn't in time. Not that my one entry would have been enough
