Fabulous Song Contest #54

[SanBeanzie]

I understand if the hosts have other priorities but I'm starting to think it's definitely over now. If so then they have my approval closing the contest.

you know what? fuck it. 

RE-SUBMISSIONS FOR FSC #54 ARE OPEN

I'm committed to not letting FSC die like this, so if I end up being host again, that's fine, but if this is the last edition ever, at least it will have gone out right. I still have the site info, so I can go back in and update. I understand that stuff happens, so don't think I'm upset at Matt or Dylan. I just am really upset seeing FSC fade further and further out of relevance with each day.

SCHEDULE:

13 - 23 April: Submissions open

25 April - 4 May: Voting open

5 May: Results

Please please PLEASE just resend your entries to me via PM, it's so much easier that way. Thanks again, and I don't expect everyone to come back (I know, sadly, that fizzy left the entire forum, so welcome Selvin), but if we can at least get a small turnout, that'll help me sleep a little better at night.

Hi everyone, 

So as you can see with Nick posting a reminder it's apparent that me and Matt aren't hosting this edition. I just have to say from my side a big sorry and I really do apologize for the lack of activity. At first, I made the intention to help Matt out - as I guess you can see that hosting a contest alone is REALLY a difficult job - at least to me. When you take all into account - collecting entries, doing results videos, collecting votes, recaps, editing the website, etc.. and while yes it is probably clear that we "failed" at hosting it (not speaking on behalf of Matt here, but how I view it) well.. I guess this is what happens when you try to host a contest in a busy phase, I underestimated that (you can just see how slow my contest is...) and well, I can only apologize for that. It's a busy year indeed and really at this point it could have even waited till JUNE just to start and you know, no way it can go like that. 

If people lost interest I'm sincerely sorry but yeah.. it happens.. I still hope we'll have participants again of course for this edition and hopefully, no one else withdraws.. if it has to go, why not end it off in a bang.. and I'd really hope when summer or something comes, someone will revive it. I don't know but I feel a bit bad for it. But again, I had to say this as it's just bad for me to ignore it.

Thank you.

Great that it will still go on.
I decided different and will still take part this time.

Do I also have to send the entry again when I want the same as I posted already somewhere in the thread?

[nick]

Yeah, fabbi, send it again (if you PM'd it I apologize, I'm just posting this as the first thing I did when I got home lol, I haven't checked them yet). And Dylan, the good thing is that, after the ESC break, I can probably host it over the summer and we can use that time to get someone else ready. Kinda like an apprenticeship

[SanBeanzie]

Wow, I wasn't expecting that I thought it finished.

If that's the case I'll submit something but it'll have to be done in due course. Too lazy right now .

[nick]

Don't fret, I'll probably end up extending the schedule a little anyway lol

Sadly, not at the moment. There's a waiting list, so I can add you to that.

Ok thanks
