I want to apologize for those who feel it was unfair I won the banners using my stories. I posted them to share them with the Vizzed community, not for TdV- though I admit I did like winning. But now stories no longer count, and I have even talked with the local mods about it to make sure I can fix it to the best of my ability. I was not breaking any rules, but I am aware how unfair it is to everyone else. Therefore, I am now going to keep uploading my stories, but I will not count them for TdV- and neither will the mods. Hopefully we can resolve this issue, and if you truly want to see my stories, PM me or actually respond to one of my threads- I feel like I'm uploading them for a grand totally of maybe four people. 

I'm not out of the competition, but without my stories counting, I sincerely doubt I'll win anything. Anyway... my wishes go to you guys to do well in my place.

Again, my sincere apologies, and I wish you all best of luck reclaiming the jerseys. Team 14- DON'T GIVE UP!!

Sincerely yours,
Dragonlord Stephi

Oh please don't apologize Stephi!  As frustrating as it might be, you did NOT break any rules. I'll be the first to admit that I got quite upset over being knocked down on multiple occasions for pre-written material. However, the fact that you have so much stuff written is absolutely amazing and something to be proud of.  I start a million novels and never get past the first four pages.  Most I've ever written, as a matter of fact, is about 12 pages, and I don't even know where that went.

You're only 14 and you have all the time in the world right now. Keep up the great work.

I'm sorry for anything I might have said to you.... I was just frustrated at spending every few minutes I could all day to get a good quality, decent length post.... and then seeing that hard work be pushed down.

We just have to accept certain things in life however.  For example, some people have busier schedules than others.  Enjoy your freedom, enjoy your time, and revel in your determination!  It's pretty impressive to be your age and have so much written.

Also, there's no sense in creating more work for yourself or the mods.

As for uploading them for four people.....
Do you KNOW how many people nowadays actually enjoy reading?  That fact that you have four speaks out quite a bit.  I'm totally jealous.  I bet half of my stuff hasn't even been read by one person.    Congrats!

Thanks, Singelli. I'll keep uploading, and no worries whatsoever. We'll see how everything goes from here on out. 

Don't feel bad. I like your stories. I'd like to read them again sometime. I'm sorry if anyone yelled at you. the red jersey was probably made for stories and reviews. Don't feel bad, you weren't spamming in general chat with 1,000+ words. Well good luck in your writing!

A user of this : Thanks, and I WILL keep posting. BTW, thank you for that Kid Icarus comment you gave me the other day. It really made my day!

I would honestly read your stories if I had the time to.  I just have so much on my plate, and the formatting of your posts makes them a little difficult to quickly read.  However, I've always wondered how someone manages to carry a plot through for SOOOO long.  I've never been able to do it, so I bet I could learn a thing or two by reading your stories.  If you're still around during a break (Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring break, summer), you should remind me to set a few hours aside to read them.

oh and ah... thanks for being so gracious with my complaints.
