Hello, contestants! As you may know, there are currently 4 entries to Circus of Words contest so far. The contest deadline is not until October 31st so there's still approximately 6 months for new participants to join and finish their entries within the allotted time limit. However, I do just want to say that in the event that the contest ends up with less than 10 entries by the deadline, I'll be opting to no longer pick the runners-up (2nd and 3rd placers) and just choose one winner. The one winner will still get the 1st prize + additional 2 days of sitewide feature promo (so that's equivalent of 3 days of feature). I think it's only fair to the contest's purpose since I created this to read stories I like, and trying to pick 3 in 4 entries seems a bit pointless in a sense. 

Anyway. Good luck to you guys. Reminder to read through the Guidelines once more to make sure you're following the rules properly. Thanks!
