Since this is the first time this has ever happened in my five years here, I'm trying to come up with an equitable solution for the late entrants. Since I did post the new closing time and sent it out to all the entrants, I'm going to stand firm on the entry closing time.

However, if your story is in your portfolio as an item, email the link to me and I will include it in the winner's newsletter when I'm done judging.

My apologies again for the prompt going out late, hopefully this will not happen again.
