Remaining McShep Match Schedule
The final entries have been posted, and now it's time to make sure you've voted for every entry you want to - only one week left to decide which team will take the honours in McShep Match 2010!
Now, here's how we're going to be wrapping things up this year.
Tuesday 31st August (yes, that's today) - The stories for the final prompt were posted earlier today.
Tuesday 7th September - Polls will close, the Masterlist will be posted, and the author names (and beta thanks etc. where provided) edited into the individual posts on this community. The mods will bravely delve into the polls and start working out the results.
The top commenter contest will also end at the same time. We won’t be closing comments on any of the posts, of course, but comments made after the polls close will not count towards the comment contest.
Thursday 9th September - Time to break out the champagne -- the winning team will be announced, and participants will be able to collect their Winner/Runner-up banners and icons! The top commenters will also be announced and prizes awarded.
As always our teams are encouraged to beg, bribe, and blackmail for votes, but remember it's meant to be a bit of friendly competition!
Anyone who had to drop out because they couldn't meet their deadline but still managed to finish their story in the end, or who wrote any extra stories for their prompt - we'd love to post your stories on the community if you finish them in time. Please submit such stories by September 6th if we don't have them already and we'll include links on the Masterlist.
Finally, please remember to wait until the results are announced to post your entry to your own journal, as that is the end of the fest.
Any questions or problems please just ask, but in the meantime - read, enjoy, vote, and don't forget to guess!
