Our fabulous pinch hitters are writing away, and I'm still hoping that the archive will open at 10am my time. If it does not, then it will be because our authors need just a little more time to work on their stories. I hope you will all continue with patience.

In any case, it won't open before 10am (PST) 13 November. If, by chance, anyone was still working on last minute edits, summaries or titles, it'd be good of you to run them through by then.

If you're not planning to be near the Internet tomorrow, it would be kind of you to leave a note for your author as to when you might get a chance to read your story. Especially if you'll be away for some time.

Again, I'm very sorry for the delay in opening. I will be doing a post-fest debrief with discussion of what worked, what didn't, and what might change next year. All input welcome at that time.
