Unclear whether you’re asking to include the WIP with the submission. Some entrants might interpret ‘have’ as ‘have on hand’.	Posted by mogo2#4808 on Aug 9, 2026, 6:26:08 PM Quote this Post

Im also not sure how to include WIP, posting timelapse here is the way? or is the WIP just a way to confirm if necessary.	Posted by Dragonvol#6713 on Aug 9, 2026, 9:21:09 PM Quote this Post
Guess I’ll have one more go, but last time so many AI generated submissions were made and considered and genuine work was not. (ALL typos lack of caps, punctuation and general errors are copyright Timbo Industries - Laziness Division) Any perceived disrespect is unintended, I have High Functioning Asperger's and its socially inept.
