Well, yes and no.
 
I mean, obviously the *contest* for HCC17 is finished and can't be 
reopened, but IIRC people have occasionally posted a story based on 
an otherwise closed HCC.  From private email I now that both Rob and 
myself have stories that we were working on for HCC17 because we both 
wanted to use... ah, but that would be telling.  Anyway, I still want 
to finish my HCC17 story with carnivorous unicorns chasing down and 
eating zombies.  It's just that that's not likely to happen before I 
post my story about elven unicorns using Remember-To-Vote... Man as a 
proxy in their war againast the psionic sasquatches who pilot flying 
saucers with Atlantis number plates.
 
(and for which I might need to ask for an extention.  we'll see.)
 
So while a late *entry* into the contest is unworkable, a late story 
using the theme of the contest is fine.  Don't see how we can stop you, 
to be honest.
