- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

Technically, yes, according to some places where you may submit your work. Any website other than a closed writing workshop is considered published. This is really only important if you want to try to place a piece from here at another magazine, and only then if they specifically prohibit it in theri guidelines. It's probably not a huge issue. However I refrained from posting a story just for fun titled, 'The Piper' (750 words) that was inspired by the last Bloomie competition, because I am looking for a good journal to take it and I don't want to risk it.john swinton wrote:

I know you were joking but I know so little that I like to share it.

Get me a Bloomfield Edition Maybach and you're in, Paul.Paul wrote:Well, my story wasn't about a particularily interesting event but if I win I could possibly get DaimlerChrysler to make a Bloomfield Edition Grand Cherokee or Wrangler next year. Back in the early 80s we had a Frank Sinatra Edition Imperial. Yep, it was baby blue.

So....
There was a deadline for the entries.... Monday at midnight, Bloo time.
It's now Wednesdayish.
Is there a deadline for the decision on the finalists?
Just curious. Isn't anyone else wondering?
(Oh just say yes- you know you are....)

'So do I,' said Gandalf, 'and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.'
