The contest had an end date. The rest of the contestants saw said end date, and finished their forms before that time. Just because this was never judged doesn't mean the end date was ever changed, and since Wolfy did say that it ended in two days some time again, it is safe to presume that the contest is well over. Letting Master of Nightmares fill out a form and enter well after the end date and still be considered for judging is not fair to those of us who made sure to get our forms in in a punctual manner. If you enter a writing contest for money, and then a little while after the due date you worked very hard to finish before, they allowed someone else to enter and be judged alongside you and others, who worked very hard with the time given, would that be fair? This other person had the leisure of no deadline, and could tread carefully, make sure everything was perfect, while others may have not given their entry a third look over because the deadline was too near. Is that fair? And on top of that, this user cannot pull the "I didn't know of the species until now" card because if you look on the main thread, they posted on the first page, on August 31st, to mark the page; therefore they had apt amount of time to complete their form before the deadline, yet they waited until now to do so.
