I believe he kept the August Theme and moved it to September's theme as the August one was cancelled? Either way I accept the challenge.

Wasn't it cancelled due to lack of..erm...entries?

Or possibly because of the excellent Rhammus settings I guess.

I'm new to this part of the forum. Are there any updates on this competition? If so where can I find them?

 

[DeletedUser8396]

Could've swore I made this start the 21st. I'll have the poll later today or tomorrow. My apologies.

 

[DeletedUser8396]

Due to one method one writing was submitted, I am not able to retrieve it at the moment. I will do my best to obtain the entry by tomorrow. I will PM you if it is your piece I am having issue with. Please do not post asking if it is you in this thread. Thank you.

 

[DeletedUser]

I tried my hardest but simply couldn't think of a good fantasy story to submit.

 

[DeletedUser8396]

My apologies for the delay. I've still yet to get in contact with the other entrant.

Now that voting is over will this be happening soon?

 

[DeletedUser8396]

I will inform the higher ups to reward the winners. Should be within 1-4 days.

I never, never like any of these contests. And they are always of the same vein.

Can we please start doing different things in the future? No good ideas atm though.

But writing things, making lists, and spotting differences is all it ever seems to be.

You're three months late.
