Am I the ONLY one who didn't do a Pokémon story for their entry?

Everyone wins! haha...Nah, but I know we all are doing this for the fun of it so I'm glad for that

A bit of a silly question but, how do the judges vote? Sorry if I missed something important .

 

[Spiteful Murkrow]

Wait a minute, are we sure that's all the entries there? Since I don't see mine or @joshthewriter 's reflected in the lineup. We both published our contest entries in the threads of an already-running work and both sent links in the submission thread.

 

[joshthewriter]

Yep, it appears as if we’ve been excluded. Was there a particular reason for that?

Perhaps you posted after the deadline without realizing?

Sorry--your work wasn't submitted according to our rules.

Publish your work in its own thread...

That would be the reason why they're not being included. Sorry about this, but thank you for making an entry anyways!

 

[joshthewriter]

Odd to tell us that they were acceptable as entries beforehand then. I specifically asked if it would be accepted and was given this response from Torchic as an answer.

Poor form to specifically exclude writers who make use of the threadmark system’s “sidestory” function that contains all of my one shots. My story fits the theme and it is a standalone story. By the rules of the contest and the response of a mod here, it should be included.

EDIT: fixed link
