My current count is around 15 possible authors, but there are likely some I don't know about and others who won't make the deadline. To that end, I'd like to post my list here and ask anyone who is either on the list and not expecting to finish, or not on the list and planning to enter, to speak up here.

*Initial entries were disqualified, but may still enter
I see that a lot of the most prominent fm authors are not participating in this contest. That’s really too bad. After all, Thief 2 was much better game than T1. Oh well! I guess we should just all be happy to have a bunch of missions that will be released soon!

Well, I know of at least two prominent authors who are working on missions for the anniversary but are releasing them outside of the contest due to not sticking strictly with the stock content rule. So there will likely be additional releases around Mar 23 for everyone to play.
I also just added another author to the list who has contacted me privately.

Amazing!!

@Basso - Keep in mind that some of the "prominent" authors will often times enter the contest under an alias, so the ones you're thinking of may already be on that list.
Or maybe not!

I think this is a very respectable list of authors. There are some prominent authors and some cheeky pseudonyms, some old legends making a return, a few authors who proved themselves in the TDP20AC, and new authors who (if the previous contest was any indication) may surprise us with an exceptional debut. We have a lot to look forward to.

Pfft, obvoiusly this contest will SUCK.

Hey just my opinion. You’re free to have your own opinion.

There's lots of people who share this opinion, me included, but it's funny still seeing people getting so agitated over it, lol
Anyhow, to keep more on topic, i don't think that deficiency of well known/established authors is neccesarily a bad thing, this is an opportunity for a new generation of creators to be given some spotlight and possibly help them advance their skills.

I'm fairly certain Klatremus wasn't expressing genuine shock or showing agitation. Just making a joking remark at someone saying something that's been repeated ad nauseum for the last 20 years.
