First of all, your entries are due in approximately 48 hours from time of posting, at 10 pm GMT (5 pm EST) on Monday, February 28. Begin your entry with the words 'It was a dark and stormy night'!
This week's TnT is still up for discussion if you're so inclined - stop in the name of grammar!

Next, we have some questions for you all to take a peek at. Since this community exists for you, we want to be sure we're giving you what you need. As always, if there's something you think of that we haven't asked for specifically, go ahead and let us know! We always like new ideas.

I have health and/or accessibility issues that would limit my participation if the community did the following:

I find myself incapable of a totally serious poll. Enjoy.

Finally, I'd like to highlight some of the ways you can get involved here besides the obvious writing and voting. We do have an editing team, led by the fearless [personal profile] azuire. If you'd like to join, you can comment here or send Azuire a PM - just let us know how many entries you'd like to edit per week, as a maximum, and we'd be glad to get you going! You are also welcome to offer up any contest topics, TnT ideas, or if there are any international writing contests/scholarships/opportunities for publication that you know of.

Anything we forgot? Any poll answers you'd like to explain? I love comments. (I'm also especially curious what your mouth might be full of. Delicious food is something I like to talk about.)
