[QUOTE="Chrysoula, post: 317643, member: 5662"] *sigh* I can't remember from the actual rules, and can't find them: is there something about how if you're chosen for the second stage, you aren't allowed to tell anybody? That's been my latest thing to think about-- in a way, it'll be kind of frustrating to have the contest drop off the map after the first stage is over. It's been nice having the enthusiasm of wanting to see the contest move on, but if it's just a post saying, "We all got our rejection letters, somebody else out there is darn lucky," that kind of feels like an anticlimax. On the other hand, people have made noises about it being bad somehow to reveal if one makes it to the second stage. I suppose it sort of depends on if WotC is doing this as a publicity stunt or not. :-) I sort of assumed they were glad of the publicity even as they looked for a new setting (those who believe this is JUST a publicity stunt with no substance to it, your opinions are noted. :-)... but I don't know if they'll want to let it die down.
