Writing Contest! PUPPETS!

[hkw521125]

Hayley is so strong, able to continue acting so great and as if nothing is wrong for her viewers and fans just shortly after the Mike Lombardo situation. She is an inspiration <3

[33niewiem33]

Nooo! I cant believe i missed out on this D:!!!!

[heytherelottie]

'who doesn't?' 'al qaeda' '..oh' excellent ;)

[PhoebeLee24]

could you talk more about the copyright details of this? if i'm chosen, how much credit would i get?

[BeckyySaysHeyy]

At the very beginning when you said, "What's Less Than Three?" In my head I was saying, "The number 2."

[crazypandafish]

I am insanely jealous of your box. @hayleyghoover

[sklapre]

Potter Puppet Pals reference at the end?

[thisworldisadream]

it's february 2nd! D: hating life right now, i was so insanely excited for this

[HeyJeremyC]

Sent in my story less than 15 minutes before the deadline LIKE A BOSS

[cupcakes1348]

just submitted mine! yay!

[meeeeeeeeeeeist]

Should I be taken to another page or anything or does it just come up as the same 'submit a story' page with the box blank?

[lomsb]

@Finklehurst thank you! you actually have given me the courage to submit my piece!!! thanks

[HeyJeremyC]

Fact: puppet theatre is one of the highest forms of performing art.

[HereSheGoesAgainEh]

I cant wait till this month is over so I can finally know if I'm picked or not.

[joomoo123]

Pizza Cutter: "I LOVE H.G.H. and K-Horn!"

Spatula: "Of course! Who doesn't?!"

Pizza Cutter: "Al Qaeda..."

Oh...

[bubeccuba10]

oh my gosh, PJ at the end! <3

[lomsb]

I'm really scared to submit my piece cause I am still in middle school and I'm worried that I am not that good a writer but.... is it still okay to submit even if it is not like PROFESIONAL?

[Flinklehurst]

@lomsb Just do it. Even the experience of being rejected is helpful if you're able to persevere.

[peculiarpixie]

@kira902k *high fives* I'm glad I inspired you to get started. :D I'm excited to finish mine (which I've started and have a general idea of where it will end up), as well. Though I'm going going to wait just a couple of until I get over my cold, because right now I'm feeling sick and thusly unproductive. Now worries though. I'm certain that I'l lbe able to finish it in time; it is a short story, after all.

[TadewiiBird]

haha, you're a genius!! I love you!

[annsterboo]

Will you still consider a story if it is a tiny bit above the word limit?... and by 'a tiny bit' I mean like a thousand words.... I think I better attempt to shorten it a bit when I go through it again. Anyway, thanks for this awesome opportunity! :)

[Pottsylird]

I laughed so hard.

[aon02b]

Thumps up if you are watching this because of Charlie McDonnell ;-)

[Flinklehurst]

Is PT with HGH a regular feature now? I am hoping yes.

[delusionistas]

uhm the website isnt working when i go to see the rules or to submit a story it just shows the icon of the book with the <3...WHATS GOING ON

[reinix]

I LOVE HGH AND KHORN

[coralinehope]

hahaha awww PJ. I miss you guys

[thestoryweaver]

I can't see the rules on the website. :/

[JensenHL]

I have a couple original stories. If you can't publish them, can you at least try to read them? Don't make fun of them, I like them. LOL! ~Jensen

P.S. Mom says hi

[thelovelylydz]

ah poopie i forgot about this. . . ah poop

[TheMissingSignal]

How did I miss this! You should have called me, girl. Must get furiously writing!

[italktograpes]

Hey :) Can you still enter and everything if you don't live in America?

[adamsalyce]

oh god, every time i see something related to Less Than Three i just silently freak out because i still haven't finished my story....

[lemonsinthetoilet]

I'm sure Kristina would be thrilled with the nickname 'K Horn'. :L

[TheLouisHubbick]

Hey Haley does it matter if you are just 13? :)

[maggiehanna]

Surprisingly enough, I have also been cutting pizza the past few months and have not had the chance to write a story to submit.

[JustMargaret]

Hahahaha, PJ. Your handwriting is pretty, and your projects is inspiring. <3

[lauren2397]

So, uh, the site won't let me submit my story. Help?

[Starlightwanderer4]

The web pages are blank when I go there :/ Any ideas? Thanks.

[immaturatycentral52]

The top bar of the website that is suppose to be there doesn't show up, and every time i try to submit or click the about page it just comes up blank. is there anything can do to help me with that?

[CookieLoverrr]

This was a great video. Just really, really great.

[iamacatspy]

I tried. And failed. Oh well.

[MissVerityDarling]

The entire webpage doesn't work for me. I've been there so many times, and it never works! I'd really love to submit a story, but it won't let me! :/

[AnthonyMichalak]

@MissVerityDarling I keep having the same problem.

[SonsofAdmiralettes]

OMG!! The deadlines my Birthday :D

Lol, sorry XD

[JAMBO4358]

What's less than three? Two

[AnthonyMichalak]

@JAMBO4358 <3 <--- that is less than 3. it's the heart thingy that ppl use when chatting and texting.

[youjerkmuffin]

How many of our stories will be published, roughly?

[Gryffindor004]

I wasn't going to submit a story because... I just didn't really have any good experiences, but I have now and the spatula has inspired me. Ten days to go :) Thanks HGH!

[ofwanderlust]

i LOVE HGH and K-HORN!

[BeingIndivijewel]

Do you have to live in America? I'm in the UK.

[RemarkableSomeones]

Pleeeeease somebody enter a story about LGBT youth!

I am too busy with uni work to do it. I wish the closing date was further away :S

- Carla

[carolinaladivina]

HGH and KHorn :D funny

[escibs]

Wow, you guys are going to be swamped with submissions. I'm really excited for this.

[sharkie59]

Man I have missed your videos on this channel.

[SauronsEye]

Pizza cutters are a fraud. Use my method of cutting a pizza, a meat cleaver, bang bang bang bang...all done and you have 8 pieces.

[nukemz]

you rock Hayley!

[KAPOWWkate]

Aaaah Hayley, you're a funny dude.

Also, I've submitted my story! YAY for highly productive me!

[nicciweasley]

The "oh" was brilliant.

[xChalala]

Oh, how I missed you telling stories with household items since Ice Cream Scoop as Hermione and Tire Gauge as Ron.

[foreverjynxed]

I have an old idea I have been wanting to dredge up and write for submission, but I'm not sure if it works. IIt has to do with friendship, writing (a play for Script Frenzy) and the internet, does that still count? xP

[aceandalsostuff]

can you fix the hyphen/no-hyphen thing in the "who we are" section yet?

[judyandthecat]

You will see my story soon :)

[GoodEveening]

I don't think I've thanked you for this opportunity yet. Thank you so much, even if my story doesn't get chosen I really appreciate this.

[HeatherJunesTunes]

I like your hand writing on signs. In general, not just specific to this video.

[oOExcuseOo]

Hey can my story be a bit scary, about twisted love? :3

[sarahnicole32]

Is the title a AVPS reference? Or am I still just an obsessive Starkid?

[Thebetzee]

You guys are so great for doing this. I can't submit a story, since I've only got historical fiction and fantasy, nothing about the interwebs, but I think it is phenomenal that you're doing this for aspiring authors. Thank you. Seriously.

[vclamp]

So just what were Pizza Cutter & Spatula doing together in that drawer before we got here eh? ;-)

[oogellyboogelly]

I would do this but I don't have any Romantic stories :(

[ItsBenjo]

k horn haha

[Malin414]

The rules page and submit your story page are blank when I go to them. Anyone else have that problem?

[gotwrakspurts]

HAYLEY G HOOVER I RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY SOME GIRL SCOUT COOKIES FROM ME

[farfromkallefornia]

I've already submitted a story and I was wondering if you're supposed to get an email confirmation or something?

[hayleyghoover]

@farfromkallefornia Nope. We'll just email the finalists in late February or early March.

[SaDiEPaTTinSoN]

This video made my Birthday! :D

[Fieldhockeygrrl12]

Can you be 11 and still enter?

[ARTalexandrarose]

this reminds me of a really old 5AG video...

[iLIKEeats]

Hey Haley. Can you be 14 and still enter?

[hayleyghoover]

@iLIKEeats Yep! You'll just need a parent's signature if your story wins.

[tobiosnmakky]

@hayleyghoover i mis read that at first as you just need to be able to fake a good parents signature

[DreamerRealist]

Hayley, ONLY YOU could make an update video entertaining. Only. You.

[superskh]

AHH I WISH I HAD MORE TIME!

I will see what I can do.

[ntcssj]

I'd been working on a story since December, but now realize I have absolutely NO time to finish it. :C

[Emhlovett]

WE WANT MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. THE CUTE, WITTY, AND INANIMATE OBJECTS TALKING HAS OVERWHELMED ME WITH AWESOME.

[ggirlabroad]

I don't have time, or the writing skills, to enter this, but I am looking forward to reading it so much :)

[hereverydayadventure]

this video is actually really nice because I was under the impression that it was due tomorrow so I wasn't even gonna bother.

[enamabam7]

Is it just me or does the rules page on the website not work?

[OkalRelsDaughter]

I am about half way through a short story about a girl who wants to be in two places at once and is then able to thanks for her dad's job. Its soft syfy. But its not about friendship or romance. More about figuring out what matters to you and something else like family matters. If I got it done in 12 days what are the chances I could submit it? Just curious. :)

[ThePersistenceofTime]

I would love to participate in something like this, but I have absolutely nothing interesting to say about the subject.

[RaisedByPurebloods]

I was far too frightened to try to write the story...but I finally worked the courage and sent the first page! I plan on finishing it this weekend.

BEAMING.

[GillianisAslan]

The best part was mos def the Al Qaeda joke. Also, I'm literally putting the finishing touches on mine now.

[Sleefoawhile]

What about essay- type things? eh? eh? 

[liztino1]

OMG is John Green going to write a story in this book???? PLEASE TELL ME THAT JOHN GREEN IS WRITING A STORY IN THIS BOOK! :D

[SmileyRyleigh8]

Hope SOPA doesn't ruin this.

[SmileyRyleigh8]

Technically, these aren't puppets. JS.

[TheWannabeagoodyoutu]

Was PJ the one filming? I heard his voice in the end bloopers thingy

[brieana90]

You'll probably be getting my submission at around 11:59 on January 30th.

[FantasyBooksRule]

Is there a poetry section to this book?

[hayleyghoover]

@FantasyBooksRule Not officially, but if you'd like to submit poetry, we might find room for it!

[RumorHasItTV]

Its difficult to compliment someone online like this. But you're one of my favorite YouTuber :-)

[hayleyghoover]

@RumorHasItTV Aw. Thank you. :)

[Nathanjleblanc]

Also KHorn fans should now refer to the fandom as Uni(KHorn) Warriors

[Nathanjleblanc]

Why haven't I started a short story for <3?

Because I've been procrastinating all January.

Oh.

[TheGingerHermione]

Please please PLEASE come to Canada if you do a book tour!

[kira902k]

Gahhhhh I keep meaning to do this but then I get intimidated and stop. Well, actually, I get distracted by Tumblr. But the REASON I'm so easily distracted is because I'm too afraid that I'm going to utterly fail at writing a good story (one that I won't be embarrassed to submit to you girls) to even start.

Meh. I really want to. I just i just i just tumblrrrrrrr.

[peculiarpixie]

@kira902k I'm afraid of writing a fail as well! I took a break from writing 225 words in, because I realized that I'd written four sentences about noses. While those four sentences are amusing to me, no one else will probably share my sense of humor, so *shrugs* I really want to enter the contest though because it is an AWESOME opportunity. I wonder how many submissions there are so far?

[kira902k]

@peculiarpixie @jenibo44 and this is why i love our community. YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND ME SO WELL, and I have no idea who you are. <3 I do like creative writing, but I feel like I'm just going to seem like a child or a cliche or an idiot or or or something. Sigh.

[peculiarpixie]

@kira902k It certainly feels good to be understood; I can relate to that. :D I've decided that I'm just going to sit down and write tomorrow; I'm not going to indulge my inner doubts. What's the worst that can happen? I submit something & it doesn't get accepted? Then, at least, I'll still have a story I enjoyed writing & have gotten writing practice in the process.

[kira902k]

@peculiarpixie More inspiring words have never been spoken. (ok, yeah, they probably have, but still.) I think I will do the same. Yes. And knowing that you're sitting somewhere else doing it too will keep me inspired. *high fives* Let's GET THIS DONE. Good luck :D

[jenibo44]

@kira902k I know the feeling. I've been trying to write for a while now, and I keep thinking, DO YOU REALLY WANT HAYLEYGHOOVER TO READ THIS? And the answer is always no. Because it's bad. And she is brilliant. And I will just embarrass myself. But I'm kind of hoping that maybe it won't be SO bad. And there will be just enough good for people to notice. And then, THEN, I will write something else for them to read. And know for sure that I suck.

[animeotaku]

Was PJ your cameraman?

[hayleyghoover]

@animeotaku Yep. I forced him.

[mollyclune]

My submission is ALMOST perfect. But at the same time...it sucks worse every time I read it. Maybe I should just go ahead and submit it. Lol

[Eveningskyblue]

beautiful acting, just beautiful.

I'm glad I watched this instead of wasting my time on something like studying for midterms.

[gfrog96]

HGH and KHorn are my favorite people.

[PigfartsIsOnMars4]

HALEY!!! If mine is about rediscovering a person you already knew, is that okay? It's not really a story with the lesson that meeting people online is safe, because they already kiiiiiiiinda knew each other. I just don't want to waste my time and stress to meet the deadline if it won't count...

[xtimeisfleetingx]

oh my god you are the best

[periclitator]

This made my day, thanks H.G. Hooves

[JawsofLight]

Working on it 8D

Oh, and for the submission sheet, what does 'short version' mean?

[AlyssaRenee116]

i cant enter a story and i dont know why!!!!

[pbjellybeanful]

[Bellaful900]

[BroadwayAllstar]

oh traditional haleyghoover piano ending, i have missed thee.

[SignalsOverTheAir]

Pizza Slicer, reminds me of Steve from The Pizza Head Show. More Puppets Theater, please. Hayley, when are you doing the "Work Those Legs, Ladies" workout video ?

[StupidAndWayStupider]

[iamtheveggiemonster]

Best. Puppets. Ever.

[FantasticBrina]

Why must this be during finals?! Whatever, I'm still going to do it!

[TheUnderagedLiar]

Oh.

[TheEracentricChick]

Y O Y DID YOU HAVE TO HOLD THIS CONTEST DURING EXAMS? I'm busy. But I'm going to do my darnedest to enter.

[letsplaywizards]

Why does Hayley's videos even have the 'dislike' option?

[AimeeBlamey]

r u sum sort of awthur?

[TheMistress102]

@AimeeBlamey ... Are you joking to be funny because it's ironic or are you really that horrible at spelling?

[itsapearproductions]

I've written mine…but I keep staring at it…I'll probably, last minute, just throw it at you guys and run away screaming. This is also how I handed in all my papers in school…

[personontheinterwebz]

oh man i totally forgot to write my story!

[IsaysGrrrrrr]

three hundred and FIRST

[DFNoeloni]

i realized mine was too depressing so I'm not gonna submit it.

[LegendEntertainment1]

Oh I'm not high

[LaDaisyJo]

Put some "Share" buttons on the Less Than 3 website.

[Superdeduper739]

there was snot in places other than inside my nose because of that al-Qaeda joke

[awesomeDJisme]

i think i liked the end bit a bit too much.

[TheMistress102]

Oh, I'm definitely doing this! I will work DAY AND NIGHT to meet this deadline. I have a really good (based on a real life) story to tell

[MissGlambitious26]

Does it have to be a true stories? or not?

[SpellboundSama]

I love youuuuuuuu.

[haiitsmaddie]

this video is late! and when are you making the lamingtons video! oh wait, sorry, wrong channel.

[sokolowskisa88]

Who likes writing? I'd rather watch youtube..

[xThEoNestHatFloatx]

i like how when the camera pans out you can see the top of her head

[lomsb]

can it be fictional or does it have to be real?

[hayleyghoover]

@lomsb They should be fictional!

[pinksimplemiley]

HayleyGHoover i love you <3

[wiffleclaw]

HAHAHAHAHA.

[senorsqueakydesk]

Al Qaeda

[SpartanStig117]
