I don't know how many more people will join this, I doubt if there will be many more, and waiting much longer won't do anything for anyone, so I've decided on a start date. I'll give it a week more, in which I'll try to get a few more joiners. The contest will start on March 15th. That's when the rough draft and planning week will begin. After that will come the month of writing the story, then the week after that for editing and revising. Added on with the two weeks of approving and judgings, the contest will run about two months long.
