Topic: Deadline and chapter threes

Just got a kick at all the chapter threes that appeared today on my home page. Today happens to be the last day of the Strongest Start contest. I hope all those procrastinators will stick around now and continue to workshop the remaining chapters on TNBW. We'll see.

Re: Deadline and chapter threes

Hi - As a new  member I admit i procrastinated but the sales pitches advertised to outsiders was deceptive it was not until I logged in to purchase membership that all the details surfaced of the timing...  So now I have a quarter membership and three chapters I have no points to publish? LOL I would have logged in sooner if i knew, I love reading/commenting on others work as well.  Oh my.  Sighs and smiles, I think they should offer an extension smile

Re: Deadline and chapter threes

I can't in to the contest.  They say I need to be in a group.  I don't know how to get into a group.  I posted two three chapter novels that are published but not available for the contest somehow.  My group is the nextbig writer primium.  That group doesn't count.  I don't understand.

If you posted your content to the Premium Group then you could have entered. Watch the video at the bottom on How to Enter Contests.

How long will it take to decide the winner?

Hmm, have you ever seen any advertisement that wasn't "deceptive?" It's kind of like politicians you know. Take care. Vern

Per the rules:
***
The deadline to submit material for Round I is March 31, 2014. The names of the six finalist in the Competition will be posted on TheNextBigWriter.com approximately four weeks later.

Round II: The manuscripts of the six finalists will be reviewed by the panel of final round judges. The judges will  be asked to evaluate how interested they would be in continuing onto Chapter 4, if it existed. This is the main criteria for judging the submission although grammar and punctuation will also be judging factors.

The winners will be announced on or arouond June 1, 2015.

Take care. Vern

As they say, there are deadlines and then there are deadlines. And of course there are moving deadlines. Anyway, if you made one those deadlines - some count, some don't; take your pick - then, good luck in the contest. Take care. Vern
