Birthday Contest Reminder. (And oh yeah, the newsletter ...)

I realized yesterday that I was so wrapped up in putting the finishing touches on the birthday cards that I never announced the newsletter. And it was actually finished on the first of the month, which almost never happens. So if you haven't seen it yet, here it is:

http://www.silmarillionwritersguild.org/news/august2015.php

This month is Akallabêth in August, as usual, so there is a list of Second Age stories from the archive. We also invite our members to share a Second Age story with us during August, even if this isn't the usual time period you write. Keeping with the AinA spirit, Oshun's character biography this month is on Tar-Meneldur, the father of the Aldarion and one of the rare Númenoréans whose obsession isn't the sea and sailing but rather astronomy. And, of course, we have a list of all new stories posted to the archive in July, news from around and beyond the SWG, and our monthly challenges.

Also, a friendly reminder that we have about a week left in the birthday writing contest. See here for writing contest rules and prizes. The last day for entering a story in the contest will be next Saturday, August 15. At midnight Eastern Daylight Time on the 16th, new entries will not be accepted.

Hi Dawn, so just to be clear I've got the whole of Aug 15th to work on/post my fic, right, until 11.59pm EDT? Just wanted to be clear on that, haha, since the midnight thing is always confusing.
