My vote has to go for Science Fiction since that is my favourite. Might be more likely to actually finish my entry too.

Yay, I've been waiting for this. An opportunity to lose my title...

My vote, as last time, goes to romantic adventure.

Historic Fiction for me.

No, I am small words. You don't really notice me. Seriously.

I am leaning toward criminal, as I had a kick-ass idea, but after the depth and seriousness of the Red Lion discussions, I think comedy/parody might make a wonderful change of pace.

Accrually, screw romantic comedy, I'll go for something that's actually in with a chance of getting chosen.

I'll go with science fiction. Always good fun.

GeneralScruff- choose one and I will count your vote.

To everyone- are we cool with a date for opening the Submissions Scroll on/about 31 August? That should be plenty of time to work on a piece.

Voting for Genre will end 15 June (or thereabouts). Right now Sci-Fi is leading Poetry III to II.

Genre selection ends tomorrow.

Submissions dates remain open- 31 August +/-, or 15 September +/- sound good enough to get some decent time in which to write fantastic pieces.

I'm going to vote: sci fi, as well. It's the genre I'm most likely to actually write a story for. I expect to be pretty busy over the next couple of months; so I'm in favor of a September 15 submission deadline.

Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen." -- Jerome K. Jerome

"Some people become so expert at reading between the lines they don't read the lines." -- Margaret Millar

ERADICATE CONDESCENSION! (That means don't talk down to people.)

A good bit of reference here if you want to merge Crusader-era Britons and sci-fi is "The High Crusade," by Poul Anderson. Hilarious and rather short novel.

Sharpen thy Quills and ready thy ink, oh Lords of Letters, for the Fourth Sepia Joust will now commence.

It shall remain open for one and a half Fortnights, closing on the Eve of the Autumn Equinox, 21 September 2010.

Thou may post thy Entrants upon The Scroll of Submissions. Please remember that only Entered Pieces may be placed upon that worthy scroll, for the sake of posterity. All comments, complaints, praise, etc are reserved for this scroll and this scroll only.

Let the feathers fly and the ink flow!

The Sepia Joust IV is now underway.

Note- mine own piece shall be posted in ten days. I hope it is not the only piece!

The Submissions Scroll has been open for a week, without a single entrant.

Mine is scheduled to go up Friday 10 September.

Will I be the first to puncture the purity of that hallowed scroll? Or Has some other worthy an Entrant ready for the Joust before that time?
