@ Leah -- I'm goign to enter Teleport Us. I came up with my idea today, and if it works...it may be book 3 :)

If you want to play Teleport, you should commit some time to reading and commenting on others' stories. That way you'll get more people reading yours and you have a bigger shot at winning something. Just my advice.
I don't have time right now to read so many stories so I'm not going to submit. Good luck to those who will.

Yeah, I was checking obsessively because I had nothinge else to do. I got mad, and then I got really worried. Is everything okay, Jessica?

Round Pazuzu is CLOSED. Having some issues today. Having trouble getting on LR in general.
So the new prompts will have to wait. Which means, you get an extention.
PIT!!!! All 4 of you. I will get you a prompt by tomorrow morning. I swear. You will have until Friday night 7pm CST to turn it in. Fair?
Thanks, gang.

No sin? Well that's just rather boring of you there, Jessica. I am let down.
In other news - the rounds are too quick to read through now. The doggy matches were both grand. I wanted more.
So hurry up, you flashy bastards.

Otis, I never even thought about that. Wow, it's crazy to think we started out months ago with 64 people.
Also, how insane is it that the defending champion has once again made the Top-8. Bek, I bow to your write-good-wordiness :)
Liana
from Romania and Texas is reading Naked LunchFebruary 3, 2013 - 12:58pm
Yes, Beka, I'm also in awe!

How many of these dog round matches are there? I can't even begin to explain how infuriating it is that I can't navigate through the matches just by changing the last number in the URL.

Okay, so just to be certain,
THE PIT prompts are now out and stories are due Friday February 8th at 7:00PM CST, right?
When do the polls for the current winner's puppy round close? I haven't voted yet but I want to dedicate time to my story before I go out and do that.

Oh boy. I'm working on my pit story for Friday, and I'm already at 1,700 words. And it's only half-way there. Gonna have to break out my Red Pen of Doom.

I'm stoked about Bek being stoked about her story, only to find it was slightly-less-awesome than mine. Which I haven't yet begun.
Bekanator
from Kamloops, British Columbia is reading Ugly Girls by Lindsay HunterFebruary 5, 2013 - 3:12pm

Sounds like a line of toys available from your favorite sex shop. (I use your without offense meant, of course. One's.) Or a killer double-bill at CBGB.

Yes, it is a garbage bag. A bottomless black-hole garbage bag of doom. When I finish my stories, I print them out and throw them in the bag, never to be read again. That's how I roll.
