Boss, please I have a question: Some of your writers will be typing and sending directly from their phones because I am not sure everyone has a laptop. What if they type it on their phones and when they send it to you, the paragraphing scatters/disarranges because you use laptop while they use phones? Do you understand my question? Will it affect the person in anyway? Or you did something to take care of that?

They've all been taken into consideration.

Meneski. I wouldn't know if you edited your post and added your name.

I checked and I can see your comment on the other thread, but I'm not sure you made the rest of that comment before the deadline. I don't remember seeing the rest of your comment as at that time.

Btw, I don't know you and I don't know why I would single you out just to "wicked" you.

This is your comment on the other thread



If I can recall, this is the only comment that was there at that time



You didn't include the required comment.

However, if you can convince me otherwise, please do and you'd be considered.

Thanks
... I will just sit and watch.

Maybe next year i will join.


Am sori if my comment upset you.


Imagine me compiting with the likes of Larrysun. I de mad? cheesy

Thank you. But please, if you're genuinely sure you indicated your interest at the time, all you need to do is say it and you're back in the competition.

It's quite unfortunate that we can't know if your first post was edited or not.

I have added your name to the list.

I have received a lot of feedback from candidates about the time frame for the submission of their stories.

So, the deadline for the submission of the stories has been pushed 24 hours.

The new date and time of submission is now 3/07/2017 6pm Evening

There would be no room for an extension of time again!


Candidates are urged to adhere by the instructions as no excuses would be taken to consideration after the deadline.

Goodluck.

From my understanding it shouldn't be less than 1000 words. You approximate by counting each word on the first line of your story then you multiply by all other lines of your story. 1500 is OK depending on your writing style.
