Season 7 Kickoff! Qualifiers Week 1
Kam na bane ni Mauri* again, dear competitors and spectators!
With this announcement, I am pleased to open Week 1 of the Season 7 Qualifiers. Let the games begin!
But Vanessa, wasn't it supposed to start on October 1st?
Correct! That's what @alphaous decided, but... he never specified the time zone, so I decide to open it now, considering it's already October 1st in Kiribati(!). Therefore, we can start! This also gives you guys almost 24 more hours to submit. No need to thank me 
Here is how it will work: All 64 registered bloggers must submit a blog until October 8th at 23:59 EST (Eastern Standard Time). This is your only task, simple as that.
And how do you submit it? Very easy, all you have to do is paste the link to your blog (Which must have been published after this announcement) into this forum: Season 7 Week 1 Submission Forum

If you think you're registered but don't see your username there, please send me a PM, but I think I've listed everyone. Also, I'll be bothering you all soon via PM to make sure you don't forget LOL. Let's make this a week to remember!
And another clarification: If you don't qualify in Week 1, there will be still a new chance in Week 2. Important: Week 2 is NOT an advanced phase, it's a new chance with exactly the same rules as Week 1. Many people seem to confuse it.
That's it for now. The next announcement will be with the Week 1 results + Week 2 Kickoff, probably between the 10th and 15th of October, depending on how long the judging takes. Happy blogging and I look forward to reading your work!
