No. Everyone new the timeline. Part of the fun was reading rushed writing. If the goal was to create a masterpiece, obviously the rules would have been different. Also, many of us will not have much chance to write this weekend.

I concur. No extension!

If you get an extension, you'll just use that as an excuse to break it again. I've never asked for an extension in university or high school. Everyone had plenty of time.

Get writing. Two days left.

* where were you the past five days.
* i'm not even 1/3 done
* if we set a precedent for totally arbitrary deadlines -- what happens the next time when anyone wants to extend it
* it's not really fair to everyone else who has been rushing, trying to make other contestants happy, by having a specific date to reap the rewards of their hard work. having a common and specific end-time is important.
