Hloo there!(⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)
          
          ​Sorry for popping up on your message board all of a sudden! 
          
          ​I just wanted to double-check a contest guideline with you. You mentioned earlier that stories will be judged based on the first five chapters, correct?
          
          ​I accidentally made a bit of a slip-up—I unpublished the later chapters of my story for some minor editing (for the Ambys), though the first 24 chapters (including the first 5) are still fully published on my profile. ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ
          
          ​I just wanted to confirm if that’s okay for the contest? If not, I completely understand and can step back from the contest so I don't create any hurdles for your judging process.
          
          ​Thank you so much for your time!

hello Everyone! I will begin reading and organising and scoring entries in the next few days! this will likely take about two months, and then a week to finalise judging afterwards and make sure the stickers and awards are complete! i cannot wait! also, if you havent, feel free to check out my other accounts stories!
          comment if your excited too!
          i would also love to know who would be interested in participating if i do this again, so let me know...eventually, haha.

while i procrastinate, i have a VERY important question. Who here likes epic the musical? AKA how many refrences should i make to the follwoing musicals: hamilton
          epic
          six
          wicked

@Amayawhojustexists   hello, Amaya. You have applied to my awards, however it does not appear you completed the payment section. awards are currently overly full, so if you could do that, it would be appreciated. i can hold your spot until tomorrow night, but then i do have to give it to someone else

Hello! Thank you so much to everyone who applied to 'light a lantern' as it were (jk, but it is now, haha). this got so much more attention then i expected! 
          So heres how this is going to work. I did not check this for...a day, and we got about twenty submissions, wich means a few of you will not be able to make this seasons entry. The good news? theres going to be another one this year!
          And i likely will do a few other things on this account. Those of you who did not make it, comment on this post (you will know by tomorrow or tonight) and i can reach out to you first before the next one, so if you answer to that, you have a good shot at the winter awards entries.
          Thank you again!
          Now, to those of you who do make it (again, you will know by tomorrow) all of you will notice you have been added to a list.
          Judging will begin next week at the latest, and end in two months. (again, at the latest.)
          All of you are judged on the same criteria, although a few things, such as best cover, ect, are personal opinion.
          everyone gets at least a few commetns on their story.
          there are participation stickers.
          every winner gets a custom sticker.
          I will continously post updates on here, so you will know where your rewards are when we get to that point.
          Again, thank you all so much!
          this is my most proactive procrastination, haha. i got bored from my book on my main account (the other account you had to follow ) and made these awards. 
          Now, thank you all so much!
          continue interacting if youd like!
          based on this interaction, i will definatly be hosting another one, so dont be to dissipointed if you dont get in.
          Tell other people about this to promote winners books!
          thanks again,
          xxx
