GMT? German Mountain Time?

Lol...

Greenwich Mean Time.

I think USA time would be better

Y'all have me giggling XD

Colonel isn't in the USA, though, and I have an inkling that we're almost evenly spread out between the US and other countries. So if we could just postpone this for another week... XD

Yeah, Mustard's in London...

I'm not playing in this particular game, so I have no opinion on how it goes...

Just thought I'd add that US time is roughly anywhere between 5 and 8 hours behind us, so we're talking early morning tomorrow here, if the postponing doesn't play out...

You can squeak in with 200 words/hour if you use EST! Go Sierra Go!!

I've been to the local taproom tonight and cannot entirely feel my fingers. I guess this is a bad time to start an entry.

Also, while I'm here, I have an offer for you all. As part of my position as not-so-official official judge, I'm going to be making thorough notes and collations of my thoughts on entries in order to help me work out the shortlist. If you want to hear the thought of somebody who's only real qualification for this role is a few book reviews, a job as an advance reader for a publisher and an English A-Level on how good your story is, just add that in to your PM and I'll send you what I've put down. I will be in full-on dickhead book critic mode, mind, so don't start crying about me being mean about your story if I'm harsh towards it. It's nothing personal; I'm going to be like that with every entry unless it's up there with Shakespeare.



Now go! Write, my pretties! WRITE!!

Just sent...

Bleedin' knackered now... Think I deserve that vodka and f*g now...

How you getting on Mrs Elisabeth? Here's an extremely tired cheer to spur you on:

Go Liz, go Liz, go Liz!!!

I feel half dead too - going to wait till tomorrow to catch up on reading the forum, lol.

I'm about completely blitzed atm, lol. I thought "Hey, drinking hekps other, why not me?"

NOOOOPE NOPE NPE NPE. I'm almost at 1,000 words XD

I'ma go have a cig... mabe some more rum... maybe I ust neede more tum XD

That sounds like an excellent plan, lol.



LMAO! Well, the vodka... kinda worked for me. And the ninja cat... Best of luck, going to have to go crash, almost 3 in the morning here now. Fingers crossed.

Hyperactive motivational voice - "YOU CAN DO IT!"

How did you know about the cat?? That just happened?! O.o

Lol, mine was the coffee shop ninja cat. Why - are they spreading? Ninja cats of the world unite? Nothing could stop them! A flash of fur zooming past in the dark... "Who was that masked feline?"

Ok. Clearly I'm very tired.

Night all!

I went outside to smoke a cig and a cat randomly came up and starting loving on me.

I have received a grand total of two entries. Not gonna mince words; we want a better contest, we need. The deadline's going forward to 12am GMT, March 30th so that we might have some more entries. The people who've entered won't be affected and your entries will still be valid, but it gives some other people time to catch up.

mALX, I'll get the notes to you in the next couple of days.

Right, so I'm guessing that means I can go back and remove all the vodka related mistakes I made then? Of which I've spotten an alarming number...

ie, we can resubmit before that date, and the entry you've previously received isn't binding?

Fair enough...

Liz! What happened??! You were going so well!

Anyway, 2 more weeks then. Come on people, lets get some entries in!!

Yeah, you can. I'm not sure how many resubmissions you'll be allowed; probably as many as my patience can bother with.

Balls.
I missed the deadline...

*Spots victim*

No you didn't!!!

deadline is March 30th, Midnight, London time.

So....


Get writing

Right then I have some work to do...

I am sad to say that I just not going to have the time for this. I have not had a day off in a month, and it does not look like that is going to change anytime. I can barely keep up with reading the few other stories I was keeping up with.

So, um, how are we going to do this? How long does the story have to be? I didn't even start yet but I got tons of ideas on my mind now.

I know it's about, ugh, absolution right? That's the theme? Redemption?

Hmm.

Writer's block! NOOOOO!

Hey pops. You mentioned it can't be an existing story, but can it be a prequel?

Urf. Was going to not.... then had a moment of inspiration... whole story kinda flashed into my dachshund brain-pan.

So I wrote the most of it this afternoon.

But then I checked the rules.

TES Universe... well- it COULD be, but it really is not- not specifically.

3000+ words.... I think I have maybe 1000

Ah well

Absolution, (not redemption) and the rules are the same as on page one all except the date entries have to be in has been changed to midnight (GMT = London time) on the 30th of March.

Like, what the flying [censored]? How can we fit a tale of absolution within 3000 words?

What? Oh FU- leave it to me to get the two confused. The FORMAL forgivenessl of transgressions...

That's okay. It can be saved.

Like, what the flying [censored]? How can we fit a tale of absolution within 3000 words?

Not necessarily, it can also mean: Formal release from guilt, obligation, or punishment

Good catch. Except how does one- nevermind. Learning experience, Liz! You're an adult, you can do this!!!
