It has just been filled! By me, of course. Unfortunately, The News Source is without the ability to enjoy the internet, so he or she wanted to get another person on the news team and here I am, the News Correspondent.

Unfortunately, even with the long news absence, there haven't been many developments. The Max Challenge contest is almost over; you have another week to enter and then that's it! The organizers of the contest have been posting entry totals in the contest discussion thread and they're fairly low, so if you were planning not to enter because you don't think you have a chance, do so anyway! Statistically speaking, you have a good chance of placing in many of the categories. I don't have the same sources TNS does, so I couldn't tell you which categories lack quality entries, so I'll just assume they're all about B quality. If you can get B-quality, submit! Hell, if you have C quality, you should; I might be very wrong.

Remember, you only have until the fifteenth of this month to enter, so time is quickly running out. Submission doesn't take long, just five or ten minutes, tops. You can enter any finished fic on your account, no matter when it was finished, or you can enter any work in progress over 10,000 words and has been worked on in the past year. So hop to it! Have some confidence in your art; the best entries frequently come from people who are hesitant to find their fics good enough for the contest.

That's all for me, your News Correspondent.
