Is there “extra time” in the Gauntlet? Nope.
But seriously, though, where was time lost? The challenge was posted at exactly 168 hours before the deadline, exactly one week, as promised for Round Two. If you’re perceiving any lost time, we need to address it, whether for Gauntlet or speculative fiction interests.

WYRM’s Gauntlet never has any hold on any of your work, in any way. We don’t publish it in any way, either, save for a sample of the winner’s work if they so choose. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions page for all the details.
Those advancing from Round One will be listed in a post in this forum (Gauntleteers 2019) as soon as we’re done…[Read more]

Chy Burch replied to the topic Format for submissions? in the forum Gauntleteers 2019 4 years, 7 months ago
No further requirements, other than file type and display name in the title. We don’t need to know the usual header info, but some like to include it–maybe because they think we need it, maybe just in case, or maybe just for the practice. The only time your entry’s format will hurt you is if it’s physically difficult to read. So go forth, and…[Read more]

Dimitra, Baker: What you need to know is that this is the version the judges will have definitely read recently. Any other version you bring up might not be fresh in our minds. But technically, yes.
Bobberu, you’ll have to wait for Steven to tackle that one. I’m sure he’ll be along directly.

It’s great to see new and returning faces this year, Gauntleteers. I can’t wait to see the entries!

Man, time flies when you’re having fun. I realize you finalists probably don’t want the next two weeks to fly by, but I do, because I’m eager to read your stories. Every round has been better than the previous and so has every year. Entries that would have won the Gauntlet in its early years sometimes don’t even get their Gauntleteers to the…[Read more]

My favorite thing about the characters is their interactions with one another, so it’s been impossible for me to single any out. Also, I’ve been thinking about this too hard.

Zuul is rumored to be in the darkest back pages of the site. Sometimes I hear her crazy breathing when I’m between pages back there.

It has been a great Gauntlet this year! The Gauntleteers from beginning to end were great. Are great. The competition gets better every year and the judging gets harder. And this final round–hoo, boy. No fights have broken out yet, but we’re not done yet. Spectacular showing, finalists!
