Looking at the 3 Day Novel Contest, it’s not clear to me that they’re running it this year. The rules page mentions dates in 2017. Heck, their Wikipedia page doesn’t even mention a 2017 winner.
Hope they’re just being dilatory. Outre experiences such as this one are an important part of today’s society. They do seem to have an active Twitter feed. I hope they haven’t switched over to one of the more repulsive forms of communication available on the Web….
And I don’t plan to participate this year. My Arts Editor has frowned on it and I’m in the middle of a short story in any case.
