Who''s going to enter the Fan Fiction Contest?!

Fri Mar 14, 2003 10:14 pm by Flak Cannon

hmmmmm seems like there are going to be quite a few more than i had expected... i thought only like 5 ppl max would submit, so everyone would get (another if u preordered) t-shirt... ill give u an excerpt of mine too, this is one of the descriptive parts, not with any action.

In a remote corner of space, where once was quiet, now rages a battle, silent as ever, the fiery deaths and flashes indicating great swaths of destruction and slaughter. One side seems to favor running, the other stopping and shooting at the fleeing backs. As the light fades from a nearby missile impact, there is revealed a slight break in the fighting. Both sides seem to reconsider, and as if at an order, recommence their complex maneuvers, sliding this way and that, brief engine thrust pushing the pilots inside to the limit of consciousness, a dance, elegant and refined, each watching the other, anticipating the next move and following in suit. As they prance around each other, spinning in the rays from a nearby sun, untainted by air, they reach out with their guns to grasp the other and continue their ever-hectic movements.

Well, I've got something like six hours to the contest deadline and I can't submit. The form on the submission page has been removed and replaced with:

"Not open for submissions yet..."

Does anyone know what's going on?

Here's a thought. Did someone end the contest at 11:59 PM CET? If so that's not what Microsoft's official rules state. They state 11:59 PM PT which as far as I can tell is at least a 6 hour difference, possibly 9.

and maybe whatever time difference they want to.... beacause Im not sure there even exists a PT (it's PST) and most time zones are 3 letters, so.... also, u could try just emailing bargib with ur info and all... but i think he extended it to today

and bargib, I submitted my fic to u by email, but i forgot toinclude name/address/etc... should i just send u that seperately?

PT does exists. I looked it up. PT refers to Pacific Time independent of daylight savings, unlike PST and PDT.

I sent in my story last night....exactly 15 pages typed double-spaced....if I had added one single sentence more, I would have gone over :p

k... but like i said in my e-mail, will it invalidate it cus i have sent more than "one" entry, even tho they are all the same story???

also, in my prof sig, i have four !, but each one is paired with a [

why does this occur?

k , i guess u proved me wrong absynthe.... but then how do u kno if it's dst or not? i would think that a) US would get rid of dst, cus i dont think anyone else uses it, and b) that even if we keep it (to be diff from the rest of the world, still using imperial measurements... ) that to keep it clear would use the 3 letter designation for time. what does CET stand for? it i think either GMT +1 or GMT, but y not just GMT

lol 3rd edit.... anyway, to keep the forum with less individual posts and longer ones, bargib, the submission is still broken... or maybe broken again, i think it was back up earlier today... if it closes at 12:00pm CET then maybe im too late i dunno...
