Any word/length limit, like the summer one?

No length restraints.

Thanks. And I feel embarrassed that I thought this event was seasonal rather than monthly, until I read the Matsuri FAQ. Oh well.

Great idea for matsuri!

May I ask if we can submit a story for something which is almost done and if finished (2010) will become the most powerful technological gadget in the world (in terms of processing power)?

Thank you in advance for the answer.

Awesome! I was really gearing up for an article until i saw the "safe for children" rule and how robots, usb devices, trains and more have already been taken. I guess I better start thinking.
