I'm signed up! I really enjoyed the last one. It's nice that the wait time in-between rounds isn't as interminable as NYCM. :) Feedback was also on-point and appreciated. 


Most excellent, Cindy. I'm so excited you're joining us again! Good luck!

Nate

Just registered! Looking forward to it!

Well dangit - my husband may shoot me if a miracle occurs and I end up with a doubled up writing weekend, but I'll join you :)


Thanks so much for trying us out, ottersdaughter! I feel like I should maybe throw in a bullet proof vest as an additional prize now?

I'd love to have a crack at it ... but I think my partner would kill me if I followed this competition up with another one straight afterwards.

We don't want to ruin relationships, Gra. That's why we run 2 Fiction superchallenges a year and 2 nonfiction superchallenges. Maybe one of those will work!

Wow. I want to play, but you've got that mid-November weekend overlapping this contest's! (Of course, none of us can bank on making it to that round in either competition.) It sounds fun, though. Is there any way you'd consider changing the last event's schedule, to benefit those of us who are doing this competition as well? If you could move that one back a week, I'd sign up. (I wouldn't ask, but it would benefit all of us here, I think.)

Hi Zelda! Unfortunately, the dates for the challenge are already set. I know several NYC Midnight authors who are participating in both competitions, but if that's not your speed (It's not mine, honestly), we're bound to have a superchallenge that doesn't fall at the same time as this contest. We tried to plan our contest around this and other writing competitions, but no matter what weekend we picked we clashed. I can tell you YeahWrite is inexpensive and punctual with similar inspiring writing prompts and great feedback. I hope you'll keep us in mind.

Nate

Thanks for getting back to me! I see what you mean about how these things are hard to schedule. Yeah, I'm still interested, but I'll just have to give it some thought. On top of this competition, there's also NaNoWriMo. But can you give me a quick link to where I can be put on your mailing list? That way, I'm sure to not forget about registering if I decide I'm feeling super-brave!! Thanks!! And yeah, I have to say your contest looks like lots of fun!! Big smile

I'd love to give this a go, but I'm already overcommitted for the next few months. I'll shoot for 2018 Smile
