Just a happy little reminder that you only have 12 days left to complete your Hope Springs Eternal story, have it beta'd and turned in by 11:59 PST on April 7th.

We currently only have a couple of entries. I can't start posting until I have a few more to make sure things stay anonymous.
If you have yours finished, please send it in.  
I'd love to get a jump on reading these entries.

One month to get your entries in. Due April 7th

Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking...

You have exactly one month to finish up your entry, have it beta'd and submit it.

Have you started yet?  If not, there's still time. Go pick a prompt and start writing.
If you're working on it, excellent! Keep up the good work.
If it's finished, and beta'd - send it on in!

Please remember that the beta process can take a while, so don't wait till the last minute.
We have some great beta resources in the fandom.  
See below for links to their sites.
   
 *Please note if your story does not meet certain grammatical standards, we will return it to you for rebetaing.  Your entry must still be returned by the submission close date.  

Once again, I CANNOT wait to see what you guys come up with. I've heard a lot of rumblings on twitter about people writing and I'm very excited, should it all be true.

We are accepting entries now.
So send yours in if it's complete.


Thanks again!
