Man, my story is NOWHERE NEAR done. Which is a shame, because I thought it was a really cool idea.

Better get to writin' Squidd!

Maybe you can make it a haiku, or some of that nanofiction you kids like, or possibly an extended series of limericks?

I also have pretty much no time for the three weeks! So unless this deadline is flexible like Gumby, I am probably out of luck.

BUT I WILL SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE

I meant to write a story a long time ago, but I still haven't. Sadly, it's only supposed to be a couple of pages long, at most. I'm just that lazy. LAZY.

I wrote a few pages, but I'm not proud of them. They're pretty damn poorly written, and it would take too long to finish the story/type it all.

Ryan how many stories do you have so far? Is it going to be an anthology or a pamphlet?

Also I never had time to try to comp this up, but I had an idea for the cover where it had a picture of someone holding a piece of paper that said "READING THIS BOOK"

Hah, that would be awesome.

Also, I know there are at least three submissions. Ryan's own, Klaw's and mine. Other than that, it's a crazy mystery.

Maybe if it was extended a whole other month, a lot of people would feel they're not wasting their time writing something because they might not finish in less than a week, or so.

If so, maybe we should keep this thread active so they don't forget about it again?

Man, if people wanted to contribute, maybe they should have written something in the two months they already had.

But they didn't, and if this book is going to be more than ten pages long, people need more time.

With any luck, Ryan's is 80. Then we'd be all set!

(PS: I might try one if the deadline's extended, I guess.)

Mine's 17, but I don't know how Ryan's typesetting the pages in the book, so who knows how long it'll turn out to be.
