    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
    Sorry people are complaining about you extending the deadline- there's nothing wrong with wanting to close it near your actual birthday... and extending it's not so bad if you're reading and commenting on everything (that takes time).

    Yeah congrats to the winners.

    Oh and you could have atleast looked at my poem and commented since I commented on one of yours and followed ALL of your rules! If you make it a rule to read and comment on one of your pieces then you should atleast return the favour!!!

    Oh and don't say it was my fault because you are only 13 and you couldn't open the page cause you NEVER SAID ONE WORD ABOUT NO ADULT CATEGORIES!!! I had no idea until 5 minutes ago that you were only 13 yrs old, you should tell people that when you have contests like these cause some peoples best works are in the adult categories! Not everyone looks at the age of EVERY contest holder!!

    Please remember this for the next contest you hold ok....or you will end up with a bad name for a contest holder!
