We've started to post the winning entries for our 18^th Annual Ghost Story Contest. We'll continue to post them category by category throughout the night.

Tomorrow is Halloween and we'll be announcing the winners of our 18^th annual Ghost Story Contest sometime during the night.

The Computer Filename Extensions List was updated today.

Our Halloween Short Story Writing Contest judges are all busy reading your submissions. As always, we'll be posting the winners live this Halloween night.

The AOL Postmaster is still blocking all our e-mail messages. This is an AOL-only problem, so if you submitted a story to us for our Eighteenth Annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest please provide us with a non-AOL e-mail address so we'll be able to contact you should you win. We have already reported this problem to AOL but have no estimate on when it'll be fixed.

Submissions are now closed for our eighteenth annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest.

Today is the deadline for our annual Ghost Story Contest. If we don't get your entry by tonight, it won't be counted in the contest.

If you submitted a story to us for our Eighteenth Annual Halloween Ghost Story Contest and have not gotten a response back and have an AOL e-mail address, it's likely because the AOL Postmaster is currently bouncing all our e-mail messages. No other Internet provider is presently having this problem, and we have reported the issue to AOL. For now if you provide us with a non-AOL e-mail address we'll be able to respond.

There are just a couple of days left to get your entry in to this year's Ghost Story Contest.

If you've sent us a Halloween Writing Contest entry, please ensure you've gotten an acknowledgement back from us. We have responded and acknowledged every entry we've received; so if you submitted a story and you didn't hear back from us either your submission or our response got lost in the ether and you should follow up with us.

This is the final weekend prior to our Halloween Ghost Story Writing Contest deadline on the 22^nd.
