@trev33 saidThank you, Trev. I think you're much better at counting in fifteens than I am.
Just a bump to let everyone know that Christmas is cancelled.

@kevin-eleven saidLook, your idea to step in was fine, and it’s no biggie that you’ve changed your mind. It would just be refreshing if you owned responsibility for not following it through instead of blaming others.
Whereas your vanity is everlasting.

@divegeester saidSo you are essentially volunteering to step up and run the Winter 2023 fiction contest yourself, right?

@divegeester saidIt's on your shoulders now. Hoping you make a good show of it!
Where do you get that from?
@divegeester saidPlease feel free to set your own dates, word-limits, protocols for submission, and whatever else you think would be relevant.
🙄
I would recommend starting a new thread for all that.
And thank you so much for your interest in this tradition which means so much to some in our community.

@divegeester saidRefreshing to whom, other than yourself?

@divegeester saidI would advise that you not sidetrack yourself with such vapid and self-serving considerations.
So anyway, why did you abandon your running of the competition?
People are waiting for you to post the rules and deadlines.

@kevin-eleven saidDid the sense of responsibility for having to actually commit to something overwhelm you, or did you just think ah balls to it I can’t be bothered?

@divegeester saidWhy did you and your tag-team buddy conspire to demolish my psyche and ruin my mental health further so that I would cancel my attempt at running the contest for the sake of your own self-amusement? Huh? Answer me that!
So anyway, why did you abandon your running of the competition?
And why do you yourself shy away from taking up the challenge of running the contest?
