Hello everyone! This is the last reminder update of the contest! And woohoo, we hit thirty-plus submitted entries! If we can get almost all of those completed, that'd be wonderful! :D You can do it!

With that being said, there is just ONE day left until the contest deadline! As a reminder, the countdown timer is linked on the foreword, so you can use that to keep track of exactly how much time you have left! Currently, almost half of the submitted entries are complete, so if yours is still incomplete, good luck on finishing it! If you need an extension, this is your LAST chance to contact me for one! And if you haven't submitted your entry yet, please do so ASAP, because this is also your LAST chance to do so! Time is ticking, so you don't want to miss out!

The details of EXO's winter album this year were also released earlier today and it looks like it'll be one CD with seven tracks, one of which is the Chinese version of Universe (bc lay isn't in it so what's the point of even having a chinese album if he's not there as the only chinese member????? /cry BUT HIS PIC W/ CBX THE OTHER DAY MAKES UP FOR EVERYTHING. OT9 IS REAL). It's been added to the prize list, which will now stay as is. No more changes, which is fine since I have extra prizes. I also temporarily removed the Best Of prizes from the prize list, since I'm going to wait for the contest to conclude before I decide which awards are being given out and how many karma points are being allocated to each award. When the contest closes, I'll repost those on the prize list.

The announcement of the winners will MOST LIKELY take place sometime during the first week of January. That's what I'm aiming for right now and I'm fairly confident I can reach it. But life also hates me, so if something comes up that prevents me from finishing the judging by then, I will let you guys know. And feel free to ask me how the judging process is coming along if there are gaps in between the story feed updates; I'm not bothered by any queries. ^^ When the winners are announced, it will be more like a ranking list, since everyone is receiving a physical prize. I usually start from the top in my other contest, but this time, I'll be starting from the bottom until I reach first place. That way, there's more anticipation when the top three are announced, haha. But if you think this idea is complete rubbish and you want instant gratification by knowing how everyone ranked from the top to the bottom, then let me know and I'll do that instead, LOL.

ONE FINAL REMINDER THAT THE CONTEST WILL CLOSE AT 11:59PM PST ON DECEMBER 15, 2017.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me via the comment box, my wall, or private messages. I respond to all messages within 24 hours. And if you'd also like to be a karma donator, please contact me so we can discuss the specifics. I will repay you for your generosity!

Until then, good luck on finishing your stories and to anyone who's finishing up their finals!
