If I don't put my fic on before the deadline, will I not be able to put it on? I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Plus I was REALLY hoping to get it beta read before putting it up.

Thanks. I still need to put my story down on paper though. I know, more or less, what I want to happen. I'm just having SOOOOO much trouble finding the words to say what I want to.

May I make a suggestion? Just get it down on paper, first, and then dress it up later. Talk it into a tape recorder, or to your sister and have her make notes of phrases she likes as they come out of your mouth. The important thing is to write, not to write well ... that part can come later. And I'm still here to Beta whenever you're ready.

Thanks.
Tonight I'm going to sit down and write, forcing myself to keep going if I have to. Then I'll spend the tomorrow fixing it, and the next day too if I need to. Will send it your way when I'm through.
Thanks again.

 I can't seem to make my fic work. I keep rewriting and rewriting and starting over more times than normal, but I never even make it to 200 words, more like 120. I have a very small, not even half a page, bit that I have saved (it even has one of the words in it). It's the only one I've kept, but it isn't going where I want it to.
Anyone got advice?

| What's keeping you from writing it? Are you running short of ideas, or just having trouble expressing the ideas? Feel free to email me, and I'd be happy to help you out if I can. |

Just wondering, is there a limit to how long after the deadline you'll be willing to make an exception and allow me to submit my submission for the winter challenge? And, if so, is it already too late? I'm going to keep at it either way, I was just wondering if there was any chance I could still submit it as my submission for the winter challenge.

In 6 months time, it will be Winter in Australia. That should solve your problem. So just write your story in "Down-Under Earth", and it'll be right.
'Aragorn struck a match on his war-torn beard and the BBQ spring to light. He tossed the prawns over the hot coals and he threw back a glass of Minas Tirith Shiraz-Merlot 1998 with a hearty gulp. A dripping wet Legolas extracted himself from the pool, and towelled off, squeezing the water from his long blond locks. He sniffed the air. "There's nothing like the smell of sizzling steaks and a bottle of wine you can't pronounce when you're pissed" he said'
Story continued on some other fanfic site that will allow it!

Good point. Maybe we'll have a retread of the winter wonderland challenge come July...
(Sometimes it's easy to foget how far apart we all are in terms of time and space... oops for me, and sorry!) |

I'll work on it a bit, if you don't mind 
But thanks for the review . Most touching to be the first on this site that's had a review of a story that's not been posted yet!
