I got mine just under 1400, It's about quality, not quantity. atleast I hope it is.

Done with the second round entry after proofreading like three times. That was fun to write, though I gotta say 2000 words is pretty darn short.

Best of luck to everyone in the second round.


I thought so too  :\
But I've always failed to stay within the word limit for my essays and stuff so who am I to say so  lol


Well it was pretty hard for me. When they gave us three options for the setting, I made it a personal challenge to include all three settings. I made it work in the end.  :D

Oh, that's clever! I thought about writing a story for each setting, but I never thought of combining them.

Mine? (If not, do please ignore this XD) I certainly wouldn't mind posting it later if we're permitted to do so, though I should point out that in the end I did not write a story for all of the settings, only one (Town Hall).

...It would be completely fabulous if all the round two entries were put in a compilation thread or something. I'd love to see how everyone interpreted the directions.

Nope. Here's a hint though. It was titled "A Hearth's Warming Carol."

..Twilight is Scrooge.

I think you just made my day, Amontillado.  I probably wont pass this second round (I'm not very good writing ponies as I am with people). This is what I sent in for round one though...

Oh gosh, if that was the case it would be so spooky. But cool.

I actually wrote out a story for the town hall, but ended up scrapping it.

Of course, I couldn't leave it just the boring ol' town hall. It becomes much more interesting when... well just look.

And I just now figure out that the judges didn't get my story because gmail didn't even send the email. Lovely, just lovely.
