Damn...I pulled out my phone to submit like 3 different times today and kept getting sidetracked by work!
This was my second choice, which describes an ancient necromancy ritual of reanimation by boiling the body of the deceased until the water is gone and all that is left is a white substance. This contains the "essential salts" of the subject of reanimation, which will then (re)turn to flesh as certain words are spoken. But if the salts are contaminated, the reanimated subject will experience lunacy and must be immediately killed. The necromancers who have gone through the process of improperly reanimating the subject must also be killed by strangulation with a cord. Their bodies are then burned and tossed into the Nile River.
That's why I didn't go with it. Too mainstream. My actual pick was basically the complete opposite of that song.
Sorry, I didn't know it wouldn't keep the same submission deadline or I wouldn't have asked! Is this how it's worked in the past?
Yeah, I just didn't even think about it because I've just been busy with the long weekend and then work. I shoulda bumped the submission when I bumped the deadline. No big deal though, I promise!
If there's a way to change the standard days, Tuesday voting deadline and Thursday submission deadline would be ideal.
