This week saw both the beginning and end of the run-on I was sponsoring. Given that it was mostly driven by an inane plot developed by three people (whose names shall not be mentioned, although you KNOW who you are) I decided to close it. So, the general competition is off. Sadly, it was only DGM Astatine who made a post that was even remotely amusing, so I'm giving him a Star of Eos for his efforts. I would reward myself for the two posts I made, but I'm not allowed to do that. I would also like to say, "Damn you!" to the aforementioned three posters and anyone else who wrote senseless, inane babble. May your fingers rot off so that you may never, ever type again. Will I ever run a competition again? Yes, yes I will. It seems I'll have to make the rules and basis more... rigid. :P

Anyway, this week saw a small improvement with medal recommendations, so that's something to be happy about. Also, Dark Voice 27 was released on Monday and you can find it at: http://darkvoice.borkweb.com/27/. You can also find a ZIPed version of it here. I am accepting submissions for Dark Voice 28, and am happy to say I already have 17 submissions for it! Dark Voice 28 will be released in the middle of July, so you have plenty of time to get your graphics and stories into [Log in to view e-mail addresses] and [Log in to view e-mail addresses].
