On top of that, not to brag but look how much I make. Publishing a bunch of short stories from a gaming community wouldn't be profitable enough for me to put my time in to.
By the way, 5,000 words is not that long for a contest of this size. I write a book every day, as I type 100-140 WPM. It usually takes me an hour. The time that you spent looking at this and scratching your head, you could have written 1,000 words.
