Hey, I'm just here to be your friendly modly prod. (Did that... sound wrong? ;3)
I hope everyone's squirreling away on their pieces; you've got about a week to decide if your prompt isn't really working out for you after all and you need to drop out without penalty.
Remember everyone, the main round is still
totally open for claims, you can do
lightning challenges for Round 09 or
its interim at any time during the round, and as always we look forward to seeing what you produce, no matter what it may be. :D
