khunsanuk Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi, Really disappointed with the lack of entries for the writing contest. Even after extending the deadline by a month, I have only received 7 entries (with one more likely to come soon). Last time we ran this we had 18, now 8 Not really sure what to do about it as 8 entries isn't really a contest, but then again cancelling it would not be fair to those who took the time to write something. So, please even if you have no talent, write something and enter it. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaad Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 hmmm.. never seen myself as a writer but will try to put something on paper if I find the time before deadline :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 KS, Will you be extending the contest entries until November 1st? What the hell. 4 more weeks won't matter if we can get some more entries to make it more interesting I guess. I'll talk with you next Friday at Gully's on my return. I thought we'd get a much better response on this contest. Maybe everyone's busy these past 2 months? I know I am. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted October 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Hi, I don't know. What do others think? I have 9 entries now, which frankly I still find a bit too few. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't bother me what you do. If you scrap the competition I'll post my story somewhere else on the board. No biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Maybe let it go one more week, and make one last plea for entries, which I understand you may be sick of doing...maybe allow 2 entries per person, in case someone has more stuff? not sure, I agree, we can just post them on the board in the stories forum...or "short story forum...the contests are fun, be we needn't cheapen our art with comptetition...unless of course I win...

Redbaron Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Cent: Will you be extending the contest entries until November 1st? I second that... better to wait another month and have a decent competition. I don't have a problem with more than one entry per person, the talented writers on this board surely have plenty to work with, so why not? Maybe make it so only one prize per person though (if there are prizes involved). Tell you what, I'll even have a go if you extend the deadline to Nov.1... I'm sure I'll regret it once I sober up, but I'll have a go... maybe 2 if I get swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 RB, Yeah, I don't think there even is a rule on one entry per member. I think multiple entries wouldn't do any harm. But I do like the one win per member. I think that would be fair enough for all involved, and maybe bring in a few more entries. An extra month and more entries won't hurt the contest I think, and that way I'll be there in country when it is finished and can possibly get down from Surin for the awards ceremony as well! :-) Cent (arriving Thurday night BKK time!
