I hope I'm doing this right. I already posted my story under challenge 4 but from what I gathered, to be eligible for the First Annual Writers Contest, I have to post my story on this thread as well. If I misunderstood, please forgive me. Here it is:

Author: Otakuprincess
Title: The Dance
Fandom: Fruits Basket
Rating: PG
Genre: Shojo/romance
Summary: The same scenario seen from both Yuki and Kyo's point of view. The upcoming dance is fast approaching; will either of the boys ask Tohru to the dance?

Ah, no. You just need to make a post here saying "I want to take part in the annual contest".

However, no problem at all since your post basically said that.
Good luck with the next 5 challenges!

*wave* I'll take part in the contest! Hee. Now that I've actually entered a challenge I can say that. This'll be fun!

[Otaku_princess]

I want to take part in the contest for "42 Days" Challenge #5!

[Admin]

Ah... you already signed up for the annual contest. There's no need to sign up twice.

The Annual Contest is an 'overall' contest made up from the results of your entries in the Contests # 4-8.

Good luck.

I'd better make it official.

I would like to sign up for the First Annual Writer's contest.

Without the message board I probably would have never posted a single story. (I'm not sure I should thank you or blame you. ;D ;D) Thank you for the enjoyment it has given me.

The packages with the prizes are in the mail and should arrive within 7 days (or so the guy at the post office said).

Also, since it's Saint Martin's day soon, I've added some chocolate to the prize. Happy feasting.
