    I've been enjoying reading over the entries little by little. It's like a way to get a representative slice of what everyone else usually writes! Very intriguing.

    Would love to see more contests in the future. Maybe something collaborative next time, like a team contest? That'd be fun!

    It is kinda cool to dive through but the fact that it ended up kind of a fetish grab bag where each story could be anything was something I'd like to see fixed next time. Perhaps asking people to list the main theme they intend to tackle in the title?

    That said, kudos to the guy who wrote the BBL Drizzy story. Was hilarious to see something that topical pop up.

    This is hard, I'm at 5500 words already and nowhere near finished! Going to have to do some serious editing to keep it under 7500.

    And there's already some great stories in there with some big hitters dropping in their contributions. Tough competition, which can only be a good thing, I need to up my game!

    I'm still writing. I'm at nearly 8000 words and have about 500 more to add. Then I'll have to go back and edit from the start to get it under 7500. This is not easy!

    Oh dear...1500 words to edit out of the first draft. This is going to be carnage. Wish me luck.
