Now that's funny. Obscure, but funny.
(Usagi Yojimbo is the name of a series of graphic novels about a samuari rabbit - google it for details. Unagi is japanese for eel. See, you substitute the eel for... and the rabbit now has... err. Maybe you had to be there.)

This weekend is really impossible for me. I have a car/motorcycle swap thing on Saturday as well as helping cook dinner for friends. Sunday is a 6 hour hike. And Monday is my dance night.
As mythago's versus drose isn't posted until Monday night, could we do ours on Tuesday night (due Friday night) which I don't much like either [out Tuesday night, dinner on Wednesday, Thrusday to write, Friday out] or Wednesday night [still not a great plan but at least I'll still have Thrusday to write]? I prefer a night posting 'cause I'm on the West Coast and therefore can see the posting between arriving home and leaving for any outings to get my brain working. A morning posting means that I have to post the night before so I lose the 6-8 hours of sleeping that I need for work.

Re: Judgment of Match 1-5
Sorry for the delay, after previously saying that I was going to check En World more often in the early days of this contest, my boss promised me that he might undo my planned redundancy (ie getting laid off) in return for not using the internet at work. So I had to wait until I came home.
(Actually my work computer is annoying. Some of the options ... like the start at the first unread message ... doesn't work for me on my work pc. So reading it at home is better. Even if I was on pins and needles all day.)
Thanks for the good comments. I had to admit that, being new to all this, I got a little intimidated when my story hit two printed pages. I wasn't sure how that would translate to the screen. In hindsight I should have added a little more.
Now I can sit back, and take in the styles of everyone in the next rounds. Just watch out ... I'm learning and I'll be ready for the next season!

I have the cure! Hit the link in my .sig and go check out one of Sialia's yarns.
All of her stories from that competition were a little longer than 2 printed pages. But yeah, I know what you are saying. You look at it and begin to think "That's going to be a long post..."
