Week #3 Fast Track update and Mid-Point admin for all

We're midway through! » Wow, does that feel weird to say.  It's just over halfway through November, which means it's just past the halfway point for Fast track.  It's roughly equidistant from the announcement of this competition to the finishing deadline of the short haul category, and it's also roughly equidistant between the viable start date (June 1st 2015) of the competition and the ending of the long HAUL category.  Keep going, everybody!

Also, once fast track is over, I won't be innundating you with weekly updates.  That would probably get annoying.  Also, if you don't think you'll complete your Fast Track entry by November 30th, you can always request to move it into Short Haul or Long Haul.

sHORT HAUL AND LONG HAUL entries » I will never have enough of these.  Please keep sending them in!  (And Fast Track ones, too – the deadline for entering Fast Track is 23.59 GMT monday 23rd november.

the author-beta pairing project » Thank you so much to everyone who is participating!  I've messaged everybody who participated, though there were a couple of usernames that appear to have been incorrect on the form – whether you offered to beta or wanted a beta, if you have not heard from me and you are expecting/want a beta/to beta, please let me know ASAP!  There was a surplus in people offering to beta, but if anybody would like to do so, or is in need of a beta reader (or wants a second pair of eyes, PLEASE FILL OUT THIS FORM.  It's now only available for Short Haul and Long Haul as everybody has lives and those beta reading need the opportunity to read through and the authors need the time to change anything that needs changing before the deadline.
