Just a few hours to go. Contest ends at the end of the month UTC.

Should there be a Guide Entry on deadlines? Seems an obvious option here!

Just be a ZZ9 member (even newly joined) and submit your Guide Entry through to us before the deadline!

Dear ZZ9ers. Have you thought about the Guide Entry to write for our Great Guide Entry Giveaway (prize is a gorgeous Fine Press edition courtesy of Curious King ), or do I have to pull out the Kill-o-Zap?

The original Official Towel advert noted it was recommended by the Encyclopaedia Galactica (see attached).

Does that strike anyone else as a little odd?

Anyway, happy #TowelDay, and Glorious 25th of May also. Carry a lilac towel, if you have one!
