Ever heard of paint.net? It's a very nice program, easy to learn and use, with a zillion plug-ins etc. Might be worth a try, http://www.getpaint.net/index.html.Red Guardian wrote:I wish I could participate but I lack Photoshop skills, and I don't have a scanner to take a snapshot of a pen and paper drawing.

I would think so... most competitions are on finished work after all. I guess it would also depend on if it's just good, or GOOD.

Re: Intro/Discussions
Just looked at the date, you guys have only a few more days before the submition date ends. I'll put out the specifics,
You have till 21st midnight to submit your entries, all entries made on the 22nd will not be counted. This will be according to GMT. So you guys will have to see what time that is according to your zones.
The results will be posted on the 23rd, the day of the anniversary, when angels will sing

Does the Writing Comp. have a certain word limit? I remember last years was something like 3000 words or something.

Re: Intro/Discussions
I've just realised that since I'm tweaking and finishing off a one-shot I started a while ago I might need to edit out a couple of swear words, unless I can keep them in for authenticity?

As long as it isn't too sweary, and you link somewhere else.
And no word limit. though an extremely long written work might be more difficult to win with

I have to ask, will the mods be asking each other questions again? If not, I think I should ask more questions so that there's at least a point to the interviews.
