          The placings have already been counted :) As of now (5 PM EST) Fantasy, Vampire/Werewolf, Teen Fiction, and Mystery/Thriller & Horror haven't been judged. If you can lend a hand with Mystery/Thriller & Horror please tell me! The judge backed out and @ShawMcKnight probably can't judge all 6 in the next 6 hours. 
          
          SUMMER EDITION --> We now have judges for every category! Participants, make sure to follow your judge or it is a -2 points from your score. The two Poetry categories and Romance category are now full! Thank you to everyone who entered :) Please tag people to spread word of the contest! :D
           
          Thank you to all taggers, participants, and judges!!

SPRING EDITION UPDATE!
          
          Thanks to all the following judges who've already finished judging :)
          @quiznacking-fangirl (Fanfiction) 
          @SugarPalette (Poetry) 
          @florencemaude & @ThatWeirdo_T (Romance) 
          @_born_sarcastic__ (Short Story) 
          
          If someone is willing to judge the 7 Mystery/Thriller stories, @starchasiing backed out :( If any finished judges are willing to take on a few (not all of them, but maybe 1 or 2) please tell me! I'd rather not abandon the category.
           
          REMEMBER, there's only tomorrow and today to finish! 
          
          Happy Mother's Day everyone! <3

TO ALL SPRING EDITION JUDGES:
          PLEASE finish judging soon! You only have three days left!
           
          So I'm back again, with more updates!! :D
           
          There's now stickers ^.^ Feel free to put the participant sticker on your story if you entered <3 
          
          Thanks everyone for all of the entries and judge applications!! We now only need a judge for Poetry and Teen Fiction :) If you anyone who might be interested, please direct them this way!
           
          Also to any judges, my tip is to get things done ASAP and early. I know this from experience as I myself am a hardcore procrastinator  I just really need your forms :)
           
          So far for the Spring Edition, only five out of nine have given me SOME of their forms. Please finish! I need to know the scores ^.^ 
          
          FOR THE SUMMER EDITION: So many Poetry entries! All the extra ones were forwarded to Overflow and now it's just Poetry 2 *shrugs* So we'll have two Poetry categories. I ( @Alyssa_Chantre ) will be judging the second one :) 
          
          Thank you to all judges, writers, and taggers!!! :D

To all my Summer Edition entries that haven't yet been accepted: I am working on it! Hopefully it will be done after school today <3
           
          Thank you to all Summer Edition judges! There's almost a judge in EVERY category! :D PARTICIPANTS, remember to follow your category's judge!!
           
          SPRING EDITION JUDGES: YOU HAVE 3 DAYS LEFT TO COMPLETE YOUR JUDGING!
           
          Thanks to all participants, judges and taggers!

First off, I want to thank the many entries that we've gotten for the Summer Editon!
           
          I'd also like to thank @florencemaude for finishing judging for the Romance category, as well as @ThatWierdo_T for helping her <3 You did an amazing job giving feedback!
           
          Thank you as well to the new judges for the Summer Edition! Writers, if you've entered into the categories, make sure to follow them! 
          Fantasy: @JadedElegance 
          Romance: @the_witt 
          Mystery/Thriller and Horror: @Aurora_Zester 
          Vampire & Werewolf: @Vintaginity 
          Short Story: @ThatBabyQuinnDoh 
          Fiction: @RosesBlueViolets 
          
          Tag more people to spread the word!
           
          I've updated the deadlines! The entries close on June 20th, 2018 (Wednesday) and the judging ends July 7th, 2018 (Friday). Originally it was going to be two weeks after the entries close, but that would be July 4th and that's a national US holdiday (plus my parents' anniversary) and that wouldn't work for a LOT of people :)
          
          Thank you to all my taggers, judges, and contestants!

Back again! @PygmyPuff73 is needing assistance in judging the Fantasy category ;) If you're interested, please PM me or post in this thread! You can judge anonymously if you wish.
           
          Thank you!

Sadly, for the Spring Edition, we must get rid of the paranormal category because the judge had quit. My apologies to every entry :(
