Ron is still incredibly sad that his (insert: laziness) has resulted in his (insert: inability) to manage his time. With (insert: unlimited) time he (insert: may have/might have/could have/have had) offered the most (insert: fantastical/stupendous/thought-provoking) story and or stories you have ever had the pleasure of reading. You may even have had a (insert: pleasurable/emotional/questionably awesome) experience while reading his words. To have read one of his stories might well have been ... .

Sadly, we will never know.

Nevertheless, despite Ron’s (insert: unfortunate) and potentially (insert: devastating) injury to his reputation, I expect you will all have some (insert: phenomenal) stories to read.

Oh, please. Jackalopes are just a poor fantasy rip-off of the (obviously existing) Bavarian Wolpertinger. No, I have totally ignored that (until now. I still have a few days) But I have added werewolves, because I just didn‘t have enough creatures fighting the enemy…

Dust bunnies dang it!!!

Well with that description, it totally HAS to be included in the anthology, so I'll give you an extension if you need it

If I don't get an extension, I'm pretty sure I'll finish it just in time. If I get an extension, I'm pretty sure I'll struggle even more to finish just in time... 🤷‍♂️ Currently, I'm hard at work editing and putting in some last new absurd bits... the story is >15k words now, BUT I WILL FINISH IN TIME!

It is done. I've submitted the story with days to spare! (In the end, I simply did not include the main hero bursting into song every now and then, and the artisanal cheese making Minotaur with his ottoman lover (traditional upholstery!) were only mentioned once)
