I'm probably going to pass this time. I'm way behind on my WIP and my muse is being flaky.

3. Regarding that random character assignation, how does everybody feel about Suliriel's suggestion that, when I roll for someone's character, I also roll for a point of view, or working off of that, story type (drama, humor, gap-filler)? |
I like this. I don't write for challenges, but this one sounds fun. |

Well, come the 17th or 18th of August, registration for the challenge will open and you can start the process of... anxiously waiting. September 1st you'll get the emails saying "It was Mablung in Doriath with a bullwhip" or whatever, and have until the 30th to write your rough draft (and we likes it rough, Preciousss).
Now, a question: Would everyone who got a full character list for the last challenge be so kind as to attach it to an email and send it to me? My hard drive, after 6 long years of dedicated daily service, bit the big one, leaving behind the faint smell of ozone and a blue streak of cursing in the air. Most of my stuff was lost, and since I hadn't done a backup yet, the character lists were among the casualties. There's a chance they're still on the old hard drive, but my resident Code Monkey and Computer Whiz who already reanimated the thing once seems reluctant to wake the dead again, so I'm probably going to have to re-do the lists. (And make a back up copy this time!)

Have been working on the upcoming challenge. Thus far, it seems to have formed up like so:
Option A: Write a __(genre)__ story of at least 300 words from __(POV)__.
Option B: Write a story of at least 300 words featuring __(non human/creature topic)__.
Option C: Write a story of at least 300 words using a randomly assigned character or a character from a randomly assigned list.
Those interested in selecting 2 or all 3 are certainly welcome to try it. Why limit yourself?
Viv: I'll email soon w/ the details so the challenge can be posted. Do you think 1 week to register will be enough, or should we stick with 2, like before?
And also 
   and
to Robinka for helping me get the lost character lists wrangled and corralled.

Rock!
I think two is safer. Not everybody checks in here every day, so we might need a little extra time to advertise.
Looking forward to this. Thanks for putting it all together, Neume! |

Yes. You'll have to specify here and in your email to me if you'd like that to happen.

I'll take option A and option C, please!
Neume, Sorry I couldn't help more with the lists. I deleted them off my hard drive after I finished them last time! 
I'm looking forward to the fun!
