Mid/late January is the reasonable timeframe - my vote is we target that and until then get so riled up trash talking each other it's a good fight! Without the Bots and Cons that should be manageable.

Also, and very seriously, I do not want to be the sole author of the tourney story. I want Fuzz-butt contributions. I will primary author everything if I have to but that won't be nearly as fun as having some collaboration.
Then we can trash-talk our writing abilities too! (Aka constructive criticism)
P.S. Zordon, I don't think so. Post some links to back that up - then we'll talk.
