I may take you up on that. Depends on my finances.

Curses. I didn't know that gmail could lose drafts if they're open when you close the browser (I kept saving it). I had something I wanted to submit, but I'm very discouraged right now. I may be able to write it from scratch, but I just don't feel like it right now.
It was also the first time I've written anything in quite a while, and I was quite excited, and now I'm really down. Grrrrr.
Several edits of this message later: I decided to use Adobe Buzzword. I use Opera and the HTML based word processors I tried (such as Google Docs) just don't work well. Tried to recreate some of what I've written, and it just didn't come out feeling the same. Part of it is the mood, I'm sure.

Oh, god, man, I'm so sorry. I know that feeling and it sucks bad. I once lost a hundred pages of notes and drafts. Never really got back into writing after that. :(

Wow, that's terrible. I lost some stuff over the years, but never that much. It's always painful. Still, if you ever seriously thought of writing, you'll probably get back to it one day. The painful memories do go away eventually. Well, at least for me, but I have pretty bad memory to begin with.

The urge to write is coming back slowly, it's just getting the energy to actually do it that's the issue now.

Heh, I see the DNF coupon is gone. Duke might have been my choice had I won (I'm still not sure if I'll enter). Probably not going to play it much if I get it, but "Duke Nukem Never" was such a staple of my adult life that I would probably have bought it for $2.50 (although I won't spend $5 on it).

Sorry, man, that one ended up working for me for the same reasons, and the -33% off 2K got traded for -50% off Valve. I have plans for that one, you see. :D

And I'm in. Sent you my entry. Can't thank you enough for making an opportunity to focus on my art for a little while.
When will you start showing the entries to the public?
Comment has been collapsed.
Two and a half hours left until close. I will not accept any entries after midnight GMT.

Yeah, sorry. I have a winner in mind but some files were corrupted, so I'm waiting for their entrants to respond with the files again. If they don't respond by the time I go to bed tonight, I'll just go with what I have.

Going through the winners one last time now. Making absolutely sure I didn't miss anything (my method of organisation was sloppy and I've improved on it now). Will be announced before I go to bed. They'll go up onto the wiki the day after probably (some of them are music, so I'm going to have to create a YouTube account for that and see if I can embed on a wiki (unlikely). Don't worry, I'll properly credit all of them).
My apologies for the length of time this has taken. It was shitty time management on my part that caused part of it. I'll try not to let it happen next month.

Runner-up: twinchenzo
Odds of winning were 1 in 15.
Special mentions:
Koto - Am I right in saying it sounds like you had a Minecraft influence? You came very close to the top though, as it was very fitting, but I got more attached to twinchenzo's, I'm afraid, as his description of the mood cinched my vote in his direction.
ET3D - For being topical, being well-written and making me laugh
Reelix - For making me laugh loudly
The pretty awful wiki
