Oh, yes, we are. Due to conservative planning and an enthusiastic response, we are facing the need to post a deluge of entries to finish off all 30 by Wednesday (Hello, that's tomorrow). We have put 26 up so far and have four to go.
The other problem is that we have recieved 33 entries and said we would post the first 30. That means that the last three in are unfortunately not going to make the cut.
While we apologize profusely for having to do this, we feel we need to stick to our original word lest we overwhelm the judges and readers. We won't toss out the last three, however, and will display them after the contest finishes to give them as nice an opportunity to show themselves off and share their ingenuity as possible. MGR
As a reader (admittedly not the one having to do the work to put the apartments up) I would love to see everything. I'm finishing my grad school finals this afternoon (yippeeee!) and this site has been such a welcome source of procrastination. I'm hungry for more!!
You won't overwhelm the readers! Don't hold off posting on our account.
MGR, this contest has been such great fun and so inspirational. I think we're all going to go through withdrawal when it's over, and want more House Tours than ever before, so those final three will be very welcome, even if they're not in the contest.
I really appreciate all the time and energy you've put into posting, and also into coming up with new features like the Poet Laureate, etc. Here's to your future Webby!
(Now, when is your book coming out?)
I wish the contest never had to end but, the winners really deserve those prizes so...very happy you've come up with a solution that still lets us see the last three.
