Barring a last-minute miracle, I'm not going to be entering this year's Thousand Words Contest, which closes at 23:59 UTC tomorrow. I had intended to, but a couple of awkwardly timed hospital appointments meant that I really needed any ideas to work out first time – and the one I'd settled on just didn't. I might have another go outside the time constraints of the contest, or I might just stick a snippet in Little Bits and chat briefly about what I was hoping for.
Still, it does look like the contest will be a success, with the story count running into three figures once again. I do intend to continue my past practice and review the winners here at some point not too distant from the results announcement. For me, though, thank Celestia I did get a Dialogue Only Contest in, otherwise I probably would have gone a full year without a published ponyfic.
