I think there are some technical prohibitions against turning challenge entries into multi-chapter epics that stretch beyond the deadline. But, as Nancy said, the Challenges are simply meant to spur the muse. So if you start something as a challenge and then want it to continue on for 60 chapters and two more years 1) you're very brave and 2) you can probably turn off the "Challenge Entry" designation and have a field day.

Spaceweavil, if it comes down to it and you need more time, we can always adjust that due date. The purpose of challenges isn't to limit your writing, but to encourage it. If a challenge has spawned a lengthy and high-quality story like "Alliance," I'm more than willing to do what I can to see that the story gets done.

Just keep Maram and me updated on your progress, and let us know if we need to adjust that due date.



Just wanted to say thanks again, Viv and Maram, for offering to tweak things in the challenge. Also just wanted to say that it looks like I am going to be well within the deadline now, as it looks awfully like this chapter I am currently writing is going to be my conclusion. But I just thought it was really nice of you to offer like that. Smile

Squeee! Watch out or I'll hug you or something. Wink

Thank you for writing for all these challenges. Participation is what makes them go.

I have like a compulsive thing with challenges. I have to try 'not' to do them. Don't know why that is Laughing

Seriously though, I love when there's a new challenge. My main problem is either that I can't think for the life of me what I want to write, or that I am swamped beneath loads of plot bunnies and can't pick one to do. Then I find a challenge and it either inspires something totally new, or I find one of my bunnies that just says 'yes I am for this challenge', and I can then decide. Very Happy
