It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

You've got until October 15 to leave 5 ratings, thus becoming an IFComp judge. (The fancy old-timey wig is optional.)
