Thrilled!

I am so thrilled — there are still almost four hours of New Year’s Day where I am, and we already have thirteen wonderful entries in the contest!

My only regret is that I have to sit on my hands and still my natural impulse to comment on each and every story. You know I love to comment, but . . . kind of not good form for a judge. :( But please, please, please, everyone— pick up the slack and comment for me! Give Joanne, who is judge, jury, and God-Empress of comments, heaps of work to do!

If you have submitted a story already, thank you! If you haven’t, jump in — the water’s fine! And remember, you can always submit multiple entries (though no more than one can win a prize)!
