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.

If we don't enforce timelines, the contest will read as follows: Write a story whenever you want -- everyone will wait until you finish before they vote -- take your time.
And then, soon afterwards, why bother even enforcing a common topic. The rules will read: Write whatever you want, whenever you want. And hey, don't even bother voting.
As you can see, the rules are important -- and if there was a problem with them, they should have been addressed before, or at the latest on day 1.
