I just have to say, the quality of work this competition will produce should be nothing short of fantastic... just looking at the other competitors so far is almost giving me a heart attack!

If I only knew at least a little bit about Futurama, I'd participate, but oh well, maybe next time. *walks out of the room*
*Walks back in* Good luck to all participants, and kudos on the rules and organization of the competition to Graham. Everything seems so well planned. *gets out and closes door*

Do stories have to take place in any specific stretch of canon time, or can they take place in the canonical setting of the author's preference?

Re: Competition Discussion and Questions thread.
People are still writing them. Takes time, don't ya know.
But they will eventually appear in the author's threads.

Sometimes I feel like dressing up my Gaia avatar.

Re: Competition Discussion and Questions thread.
Tell me about it. It took me almost a month to write mine two years ago. I just though that there was at least one already done. I read something about that on a topic of a story. I'll wait. But I can't wait.
