Amazing! I would assume someone reminded them that they must be a member/? I think it would be unfortunate to cancel as long as there was at least one legitimate offerring. The others forfeit by not submitting or not playing by the rules. You gave everyone a fair and equal chance. Mine is exceptionally hot, in line with your preferences, different, slightly over 3 pages in screenplay form, plenty of room for improvisation, irony at the end, and conceived with the idea of there being no cost to you other than a room and photog. I am ready to order my costume. Will fwd to - shootwithdanielle@yahoo.com - with the understanding it will not be used without my permission. I think this would be a unique and exciting addition to your repertoire as well as a pleasure to perform, surprising and entertaining to your fans who have expressed interest in and would appreciate something like this.

Hmm, or not. Maybe you'll think it's a dud. Lol. Even one story can lose if you don't like it. No big deal.

Honestly if you are shutting the contest down I am not so interested in giving away a story designed as a contest submission with a chance of acting in it with you to be used with someone else. That being said, shall I send it in or not?

Throwing in my two cents, I'd like to see the contest carried out.
For one, I think it's fair towards the ones that really put thought and efforts into the story, including obeying the rules.

Second, I think it really would be a nice addition to your content and a thrill to at least some of your members, that they could, given the right circumstances, really "score" with you, even if they didn't participate in the contest themselves.
Last but not least, you can still call it off at the end, if no story within the rules gets you going, or even if you meet the winner and find out there's no chemistry between you two.

I can't believe Star is the only one preparing a story either. There HAVE to be more stories coming in.

But in the end, you're the one the contest is about, so we all should play by your rules. (It's just a bit difficult when the rules change in mid game.

)

I apologize for doing witchery on this, don't want to be the *only one, just to win. It's not that controllable or easy to fine-tune. Or to know for sure what and if any effect it may have... other than results...and consequences.

Just noticed my membership expired; I haven't been around lately because of work moving me around so much. Sent me to Toronto on co. plane, then Cuzco. I have to stay until the wigs go back to the states so I get smuggled because I can't get a passport because I'm not a registered person. It's cool to say, I'm not illegal - but a non-entity under maritime law.

Not much of a watcher generally but guess I best member up here and enjoy the spoils. he he.

Thank you for your wisdom and fair thoughts Anoree.

Ew Fack! CCs re trustee accts do not accept recurring charges. Last times I went 3 months at a time. I'll see if I can work something out tomorrow. Maybe I could just send whoever the $? Or get a friend to do it. Ack.

STAR · 02-26-2013, 07:55 PM

OK I am a member again. I may have found a way around the recurring charges block will see how it goes.

STAR · 02-26-2013, 10:25 PM

It really sucks if I am the only *member that entered the contest and only 2 others sent in a story. YOu 2 should just sign up because you have as good a chance as anyone. Everyone should, even if you can't be there in person, if for no other reason than to protect her from what I have in store for her. Think about it. Do it.

I never stated that I was going to cancel the contest. I said that I may end up cancelling it.
