You're welcome :) And thank you!

Question - does the entry have to be at least 5000 words, or just a max of 5500? Like...would 1 or 2 thousand words be too short? Just wondering, because I've started my entry, and I could end it now, or expand it to much more ;)

You do know that 5,000 words is about 11 pages single spaced....

Thanks for the lovely award! I'm planning to enter this one as well.

Firiel: I do know but----for the sake of good judgment and scraggling for votes, maybe the contestants would try to keep it shorter.

Gil: No---entries don't have to 5,000. That's the max limit.

OK, this is a bit random...but...

I know I didn't vote/judge on the 1st round [sorry! :blush:], but I just read your entry, Tur, and you TOTALLY deserve 1st (even though I didn't read the other entries...:P)! Your poem was so sweet! It made me want to cry! Good thing I was listening to a happy song at the time I read it, so I restrained myself :P

/end rant
