I'll go ahead and toss in my arc When The Words Stop #494099 (by @Clave_Dark_5).

I feel kind of bad for not having a new one yet (working on it though...) and asking you guys to play through one you've already done before, but... 500 mil is pretty nice to have drop on you out of the blue.

I'd like to submit my favorite arc, The Fractured Dreamer (#498588). It's finally been "Final"ized, and I'm eager to see how it measures up in the community.

I'd like to throw Condemning Croatoa into the fray again -- ID found in my sig.

Like Clave_Dark_5, I have not had a chance to put something new together. I got distracted refining some old arcs, but, I am working on one for future contests!

Due to some out of game concerns; we did not get a chance to run these over the past week as we normally would. We are running them this weekend and will have the voting finished and winner announced very soon. I apologize for the delay.

Woot woot woot! Thanks again for running this contest, it's one of the (few) things that inspirations me to create for the AE.

The Legendary Phantom Thief
ID: 546474

Lost track of the date! I'd like to resubmit arc #498588: "The Fractured Dreamer", by @theHedoren.

Hello American Legion! I know you have not wrapped up May yet, but is it too early to submit #245534 Robolution for June?

Thanks for running the monthly contest!

That's an interesting question mauk2.

Just to throw in an my perspective, part of the motivation to work on many of my latest arcs was because this contest provided a guaranteed audience. Whether an arc wins a contest or not, it is encouraging to know while you are developing it that it will at least get a few plays.

So hopefully it does encourage some to try out developing arcs of their own.

An even greater boon to me than the influence is the "publicity." It's hard to stand out in this very crowded field that is AE search. While the influence is wonderful, its great for an arc to get some attention and to help boost the number of plays.

So thanks again Trekkin and the American Legion for running these contests!
