Pondering the unthinkable

With one day to go (before I find out if I'm in), I've been contemplating the fate of this project should I not be invited to play in the Championship. Options:

1. Continue the weblog as a non-participating reporter (this only makes sense if I play in the Hauptturnier -- a concurrent tournment for non-masters)
   
2. Play in the Hauptturnier and report on it rather than the Championship (seems like there would be even less interest in this than the current project)
   
3. Convert the weblog into an open-ended account of my tournament chess experiences (the problem is that I conceived this as a timeframe-certain project)
   
4. Abandon the project

Not an appetizing set of alternatives to choose from.
