Thanks everyone for volunteering - you made a huge difference!

The submission is in now and I’m working on the public submission for the end of the month. Wish me luck for the comp! 😀

Hello everyone.

The story is now complete and going through final stage beta testing. **New testers are welcome** to help catch the final issues and comment on how the story works for them!

It’s reasonably brief 😁 so please PM me @Charles_Parkes if you are willing to take a glance.

Details here are scarce, I know (due the comp’s secrecy rules!). But if you message me then decide the story doesn’t look like your cup of tea then I don’t mind at all

- and if you do manage to read part of it and pick up on a couple of things = well that would make you a **hero** in my book!

If you’re not sure about the comp deadline, here’s a timer: [http://www.choiceofbox.com/cscomp.html](http://www.choiceofbox.com/cscomp.html)
