The Lodestar Contest

We have:

Twenty-four hours left until the deadline.

Seven qualified entries.

Three more hoped-for entries from Lynn McKenzie , Dream ~★~ Justly , and Elisa the Bunny Stik --and Lynn has promised she'll have hers ready.

Two more qualified entries before the Grand Prize is up for grabs.

The promise of prizes even if we don't hit nine qualified entries.

One excited judge.

If you cut it too close to the deadline, you won't have time to fix a missing word count and/or missing song title and artist, so please make sure you have those things down according to the guidelines. If anyone's entry doesn't count because of a technicality, my heart will break.
