I did the right thing yesterday, posted whatever I had written by 9 PM and then slept peacefully ☺ All the best to everyone, some hoarded the posts which kind of spoilt the fun a bit. Per day post limit is something that I would seriously look into from the next marathon.

true. a few of us had a strategy based on the max limt of posting and calculated accordingly

But it was raised to 120 which made us write further until the last sec

So Sarthak also rightfully gets his 10th place  :) Hopefully the moderation doesnt change the position much

I still saw some changes from a few in the top5-7. posted this at 12.20 AM.

Hopefully they'll reject any post submitted after 12, though link is active

Does someone notice that some people here have relentlessly incremented their post counts by a one or two post 12? 

Amit, where are your evidences, mate? :D

So finally it's the end to a great, gruelling marathon. One month of pure madness comes to an end. It was tough last few days coming up with topics, but we finally did it ! Great job Karthik, Bushra for being in the top 5 since the very first day !! Appreciate your efforts ! Thanks everyone :)

Why is the submission link active even now, at 12:10 am? The contest was supposed to be over at 11:59 pm, 21 Jun!

Why is the submit button still open? I hope Renie considers posts submitted by 12:00 alone. Spoils the spirit.

Totally agree, even I was surprised to see that button active as couple of them managed those 3-4 extra posts. Hope Renie considers the posts before the time limit. But glad that its finally gone. Relief !

May be, in the next marathon (if it happens again), IB can rework the prize structure or else a few rules. Because from what we can see now, this is going to be a case of "so near and yet so far" for many bloggers Cry especially those on 11th position and onwards. For instance, the guy who ends up on the 11th position would have done as much hard work as those who remain above him/her. He/she must have written close to 100 posts, imagine 30 days of continuous brain-storming and writing and yet won't be winning anything apart from the Rs 3500 voucher! That would be heartbreaking Cry. If nothing, may be merit certificates as a token of appreciation or something of that sort for those in the 11th to 20th position, will do, I think.

This is a great idea Amit. There are many bloggers who have worked hard. Smile Unlike me who gave up after 20 posts (got lazy). Tongue out

Another blank post from Vineet   : http://moviphilespeaksloud.blogspot.in/2016/02/travelers-are-always-best-kinds-of.html

He is posting only blank posts, check his blog, all blogs have only titles. Hope IB moderators are looking at this. He's definitely taking a spot of someone who deserved to be there ! The way he is posting, it seems he will cross even Bushra :P

Amit Pattnaik

If he continues doing that, he may in fact lose his IB membership altogether. You guys, continue writing. Let me take screenshots of all his blank submissions Tongue out We will try him in court later on, with all the evidences :))

"Evidences" !! Tongue out :D

Amit Pattnaik

Yes, Atul, he has got so many blank posts that grammar has to be rewritten, plural of plural Tongue out

Amit Pattnaik

Phew, 103 blank posts! Out of a total of 111 submissions. And I have taken screenshots of each one of them Tongue out

I never thought that the 10th guy would have a total post count of close to 100 !! Great job everyone ! Still an hour to go !

I'm still doubtful if i'll be in the top 10. thanks to the last minute posters who is waiting till 11.30 pm to post all their content :)

I really don't think you have hoarders there Karthik. The fuse went off when IB sent out the mail on quality and strict content patrol. :)

I had amazing fun being a part of this marathon! I was able to overcome my mental block and able to write consistently. I got to share my fiction story with my readers!! I'm done with six parts, four parts are yet to be written; will do that after the deadline to complete the story! Kudos to everyone who took part in it - especially those who crossed 50 posts!! Great effort guys :-)

@Geo Jolly... He just finalised the topics... Will write later on.. 😂😂😂😂

He has just now leapfrogged to the 10th position on the leaderboard Frown

What a thinking. IB will close the submission by tonight so submit empty blog posts and anyway there will be time for moderation given the volume of entries. So take time in filling it up - Cool  - So much interest, could have started writing earlier. Seriously want to question the intention of this blogger and his understanding about IB.

Hats off to all on leaderboard.. U guys nailed it perfectly...  Bushra the leading lady ur ruling :)

I am really un happy with what this blogger is doing http://moviphilespeaksloud.blogspot.in/2016/02/a-kind-moment-with-stranger.html

posting blank posts in indivine. 

Really cheap, and never the spirit of a blogger. 

Karthik Murali H

I was about to post the exact thing..

Vinnie, really cheap dude.. Not in the spirit of blogging

Karthik Murali H

@Renie : Agree with Geo Jolly here.

This is a cheap tactic of posting an empty blog today and filling it up later tom

Can you please look into it and remove all empty blogs immediately that has been submitted in the last 4-5 hours ( from 7-12PM)
