Mine is. When I got sick in late September I had a great idea for 2 articles, but one is not holiday themed. Or I can rework some of my "rejected ideas" from last years contest.

It depends on what is going on with me. Between a con at the end of october and a possible trip to Miami in December for a big art show there. I may not get one out in time.

I haven't said anything about prizes. I'm just seeing if anyone can guess what they might have to do with the 2014 contest.

You win the old catalog of your choice? Or are they consolation prizes? Or they could be available at the points store. Just throwing out ideas here. *whistles nonchalantly*

I bet they're related to the rules somehow. It could be like an essay prompt:
"If I could have anything from the Sears catalog, it would be.."
