As much as it pains me to say, I'm out. I started on the story around 8 days ago, and I was expecting it to end up around 4,000 words, but 3,000 words in and I can guarantee it's gonna be much, much longer than that.

I'm definitely going to finish the story, and upload it when it is eventually finished, but there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to make the deadline. I'm sickened, but nothing I can do.

If you're still looking for judges, however, I'm more than happy to participate in that.
