I haven't started putting the entries together yet, so you could still try to enter.

Wait, how did I miss that this has started?! I've been online every day!

I'd meant to respond to this earlier (I should just put that in my signature XD), but I guess that makes sense. Have you had to go out for groceries again, or have you stocked up enough so that you won't have to go out again for a while? That's good, but let's hope you don't develop symptoms at all!

Great entries again this round! Thanks for entering, everyone, and congrats to our winners! To find out the theme of the 100th Round of the Runway: click here!

I've closed the poll; you can now enter the 100th Round of the Runway!

The 100th Round of the Runway is here! Thanks for all the creativity over the years (& the great theme suggestions), and here's to a 100 more! (If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the (updated!) rules, they can be found right here.

As you may have noticed, I haven't been able to update last round's thread to reflect the winners. I actually had issues posting this topic as well. My current theory is that it's related to the images, because I did manage it eventually by saving them all to my computer and uploading them from there (I often just copy the image source, but I think that's probably the problem... ), but I doubt I'll be able to update last round's thread. But anyway, it's time to vote for your favourite entries again! Important note: Voting for yourself is NOT allowed! Doing so will result in disqualification.

Current theme: Executive Realness Description: Dress up a pet as a CEO/manager/general business person. (If your pet is working from home at the moment, they're still dressing as if they're going into the office, so they'll look professional during the numerous video calls they have to take during the day. ) Entering period: Monday, March 23 - Sunday, March 29 Voting period: Monday, March 30 - Sunday, April 5 Be sure to check out the animation links below each entry to "see" them in all their glory!

Alright, I've collected all the suggestions for a theme for the 100th edition of The Runway. Thank you for sharing your ideas! You can vote for as many themes as you want (including the one(s) you suggested). I think in some cases similar themes have been done before, but some (like the new faerie one) are so long ago that hardly any of the people regularly entering now will have entered that round, and considering the suggestions for normal themes I've been receiving lately, I think we'll start revisiting older themes soon anyway. Some of the themes are already fairly detailed, but in case one of the ones that isn't wins, I might ask the person who suggested it if they have a more specific idea for it. But also feel free to discuss the themes in this thread, and suggest ways to implement it.

Right now I appear to be unable to edit The Runway thread to show the winners. Not sure what's wrong, but the editor is extremely slow, and it's now failed to save all my edits 2 times. I will continue to try and get it done, but I wanted to post next week's theme anyway, because there's a good chance I won't be able to post the results today. If you're new to the contest, or simply want a reminder of the (updated!) rules, they can be found right here.

For the past couple of months I've been using the Wishing Well more actively again. (I can go months/years forgetting it even exists.) I'm currently making 7-14 wishes a day, without any luck. But, some people, apparently, have all the luck: Like this person: Or this one: And this one (from today): Anyway, while I don't begrudge these people their prizes, it is - in addition to making me feel a little jealous - making me wonder how the Well's winners are elected, because it feels like that system could do with a little improvement. XD Does anyone have any insights into this? Has this been discussed before and have I just missed it?
