Contest closing and other announcements

[metemmods.insanejournal.com]

Okay! Well, the contest is officially over! I had been planning to take the top 3-5 pairings, but since only 4 were nominated, then (assuming all goes as planned, art-wise), they're ALL the winners!

In other news, to help move the game along, we will be resuming normal time come midnight CST January 31st or when we get through the event threads, whichever comes first. So, start planning for your glosses now. Of course, as always, this does not necessarily mean that the threads will be closing--if you still wish to continue them, they'll be there. But the real-time aspect will be continuing normally by the month's end. And again, as always, backdated threads from during the gloss are welcome at any time; just make sure you mark their timestamps.

In light of this, since the duration of this was not expected to go this long, there will be no January activity requirement measured. Not that this means any of you are given license to be lazy--keep posting away! ^_^

Any questions? Let me know. Otherwise, a gloss post will be going up in a few days.
