Tomorrow is the last day for submitting your stories for the March contest, so if you haven't done so yet, please do. We're still sitting at only seven entries,with the last one being posted Sunday. At this point I'm honestly tempted to just ask the entrants if they would accept a 3 month sub consolation prize and call this month a bust; we got some great entries from wonderful authors, but the volume of turnout has been pretty lackluster.

To those who have already submitted: thank you. Your support of the site means a lot, and every story added is more than just a story, but another connection made from one person to another, and another pathway for someone else to find a community and friend they might not otherwise know about. For those who have worked on a story but not submitted it; there's still time, and even if you DO miss the deadline, don't give up! Show us what you came up with, because every story is valuable and cherished. For those not writing at all: your comments, thumbs up, and readership are enough, and I know I speak for every author here when I say that we appreciate every one.
