This contest is over; your submission will not count.

[carnal-angel.livejournal.com]

hey, aren't these supposed to be screened?

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

They are screened. You should be able to see your own entry, as well as one entry that was disqualified for not following the time guidelines. There are three pages of entries -- you can't see those.

[syndarys.livejournal.com]

She could probably see mine too; I forgot I've got maintainer access here, so my comments arent automatically screened - fixed that, though. You should be able to tell from my entry that I didnt cheat by looking at everyone elses answers first!! ;)

Are we going to find out the results from this?

[unwoundfantasy.livejournal.com]

Yes, it will be posted when I make the Mod/Points post for March. :) By the end of the week hopefully.
