-----------------------------------

Now we are mere hours away from the looming spectre that is 2022. (If you await its coming with fear and trembling, well, you're not alone in that.) And yes: we are planning to run this challenge again, and there will be a new thread up soon--I just don't know exactly when. Until then, feel free to use this thread either to ask questions, or--starting tomorrow--to link to any new diaries.

And a quick last minute reminder: voting for your favorite diaries begins tonight, after midnight North America Mountain Time.

 

I sure have plans for a new diary. It is hinted at in the last entry of Emergencies

 

Voting for the 2021 Challenge

The time has come to vote for your favorite diaries of 2021. This year, we have a total of ten diaries, in three categories, to choose from. To quote the pertinent rule: invite your readers, and everyone you know, to participate.

*Send your votes in a PM to the diary sock. You may vote for one story (just one!) in each of the following categories: January-June Half Marathon, Full Year Diaries, and July-December Half Marathon.

*As a reminder, based off questions from previous years: you do NOT need to be a writer in the challenge or even someone who has posted in this forum before to vote, you do NOT need to have read all of the stories to vote, and you do NOT need to have read all of the story you picked.

*That's really all there is to it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the thread.
