So the bottom 3 eleminated even when you reach less than 10 contestants remaining?

I knew there were some holes in there but when you've been looking at these rules as long as I have they tend to hide. Thanks.

After we reach the top ten we will only eliminate two and when we reach five we'll eliminate just one each time.

I'm confused about the sign-up procedure. if we sign up for the round, then why is there a sign-up post every Saturday? I would vastly prefer getting the challenge on Saturday, and having almost a week to write the drabble.

Also ... dropping three each week will make this fly by, because people are probably going to drop out, use their skips, etc.

Right, I'm sorry. Thankyou for pointing that out to me. And the dropping three a week thing is a mistake aswell. What it's meant to be is that we drop three until we get to under ten and then we drop two until we get to under five and then just one.

Hey!

This sounds really exciting! I'm tempted to join, but I'm afraid that I'll either be disqualified early or I'll use my skip turn because of finals.

When will it start, and am I allowed to vote?

You should really try it. The sign ups will end at midnight today (australian time) and the first challenge will be posted tonight aswell. Of course you're allowed to vote. The voting post wont be up until friday though.

note: (if you're american or from another part of the world) midnight in australia is only about six hours from right now.

Okay fine. You've convinced me! I'll probably be eliminated during the first round, but I'm on.

I'm American and it's 1:28AM, and I'm going to join. (I'm also squee-ing like the typical fangirl)

Hey there! I was just wondering that since it seems that all participant slots are already filled, would it be possible to sign up for the next, new contest?

I've never heard of ldws before. I'm intrigued. Is there another contest planned after this one ends? I'd love to give it a shot.
