If people are having trouble finishing their entries on-time maybe you should prolong augusts theme, although I was hoping to enter the September contest if I liked the prompt :P
So maybe you could prolong augusts theme but also add Septembers? ^^

Maybe you could extend the august theme into September and not make a new theme till October.

Well, it doesn't matter which one happens if we are doing a poetry contest. Don't tell me it takes a week for you to write a POEM. :P

I was orginally thinking of doing a combo of all three of you guys(and gals ^^)' suggestions -

Extend it to where entries are taken until September 27th, and have a short story them(the august one) and a poem theme thta woudl have been september's as a second option. We could also have it to where you could enter 2 times or something to be able to do both themes... or we could have the one theme of august's and accept both short stories and poems...

More thoughts/suggestions? XD

I'm putting a new poll up for everyone to vote on...

ETA: It's glitching and creating multiple/answers I didn't type in for people to choose. :( So, just post your answers to the following:

Should August's contest be combined with Septembers? There would only be one set of prises awarded, at the end of September, and we could either sticks with August's theme, or have two available for people to choose from. Pretty much the same as normal, just TWO months long, to give people time to finish/enter.

*Yes
*No
*Maybe/Other(please explain)
I'm on MS daily, and I never received a PM from you. Maybe you closed the tab and never sent it? :orly:

However, if you extend it, I might just join as a participant (since there are only about 3 people entering at the moment- three judges is a bit too much.

Though, I'd love to be able to give a critique at the end or some sort of comment. xD

So, I'd vote to combine them and let people choose between the two.

...Excuse me if I may, but I could not comprehend your idea. Perhaps you could phrase it differently? :tard:

I think it would be fine to have two monthly contests running at the same time. No problem.

I think that you could do two themes at the same time :) Cause I wanna do one, but again, know nothing about magistream.

Since I am totally confused as to whether or not there is a contest on or not(and if there is, when does it end)-it says a new contest starts at the beginning of each onth, but al I see is August's contest- I'm just gonna lurk here for a bit.

Were I you, I'd extend the deadline two weeks only for the people who already entered August's contest and haven't yet put up their story for whatever reason. Then put up September's contest as soon as possible (like today, if you can swing it). That way you have two weeks to judge the August entries before you have to worry about September, instead of trying to judge two months of contests at the same time.

I'd love to enter myself, but only if there are non-MagiStream topics or if you'd accept an unrelated story based on the prompt. Maybe make a small gold prize for stories that aren't based on MS, for those of us who don't write fanfiction? Just a thought.
