Deadline Reminder

The deadline for the current Friday Challenge — Everybody was Kung-Fu/Laser-Gun/Magic-Spell/Starship/Dinosaur Fighting! — is 6 AM Eastern time on the morning of Friday, 8 July 2011... less than twenty-four hours away.

Entries may be added to The Friday Challenge Yahoo Group (see the appropriate directory within the "Files" section), hosted on your personal blog(s) and linked within the comments for the challenge, or copied directly into the comments section as a post.

In previous challenges, we have accommodated late entries. This time, we have no such luxury; if you post an entry much later than 6 AM Eastern time, there is a chance the judges will not be able to properly consider your work. Should you anticipate a need to snowdog, please mentally back the deadline up as much as necessary. If the deadline hits and you are very, very close, please publicly announce your intention to enter.

A winner will be declared by the evening of Sunday, 10 July 2011.

The deadline for our current Greater Challenge — The Thing without a Name — is ALSO 6 AM Eastern time on the morning of Friday, 8 July 2011. A winner will be declared by the evening of Sunday, 24 July 2011. (You had approximately four weeks in which to write, and now you're down to less than twenty-four hours! After that, we'll take two weeks in which to judge. Use your time well.)

Greater Challenges are intended to produce complete, salable works. It is strongly recommended that entries be added to The Friday Challenge Yahoo Group (see the appropriate directory within the "Files" section) in order to preserve first publication rights.
