I've begun critting the works, andI've either had waaaayyyyyy too much reisling or they're very funny. I think there may still be 10 or so minutes left if anyone else wants to enter.

It's 9:48 PM EST here and that means apprx 2 hrs and 12 minutes before midnight... so, if anyone gets anything in [sent by that time here or there or anywhere], I'm sending it on. I'm thinking about California time, too... so, I'll check first thing in the morning... and anything in my mailbox goes on to the judges. They MIGHT disqualify them, but I say go ahead and take a chance, cuz I suspect not... this time around. Weekends are busy... and midnight in your own time zone seems fair enough, considering it would be midday for some, when they're still out on the boat or wherever they went.

Okay, contest is now definitely done
. It's 7:45 AM here now, so all Midnights around the world have been reached.
Thank you to EVERYONE who participated
!!
Just for the record, no entries came after the original deadline, but due to the time zones, I had consulted with Michael regarding that all... hence, my notice here.
