If you go in to edit your story, right up there with changing things like rating and WIP status, there's a drop-down list for Challenge entry. I think you can change that drop-down box and it will all work. Of course, I've never tried this, so I might be completely wrong.
Hmm.... wondering if my letters from Snorg the Orc to his dear mama would count? lol |
Sure, Letters from Snorg is absolutely right here ...

Viv, the challenge admins have, of course, the power to add or delete challengees. Just go to the Challenge page.
In any case, I've added Signalling Storm to the list of entries. If there are any others, Nancy, try what Viv suggested or contact either one of us and we'll add it for you.
Happy writing!
do.

Oh yeah. I would even dance to the music in my head if I were the least bit coordinated. |

Well, it aughta - so funny! Just went to read it ... that clever little tidbit is a shining example of just how far imagination can take you with just a simple idea.
Thanks for inadvertently pulling my coat to it.

OOPS - see me late to the party again!! |

Viv, just to expand dolarabees's post:
- general punters only get the drop down box if they are adding a story (they don't when editing) and there is a currently open challenge for which they have registered.
- we (as both story admin) can edit other's story details. When doing so, if we are also challenge admin then we get the drop down box during edit as well as add. Challenge admins can allocate to any story the user has registered for, even if the challenge is closed or not-yet open.
- as challenge admin only, you'd need to do this through the challenge pages. Once the user has registered (or you register on their behalf), you can edit their entry and add the story too.
All that for one little thing - I know why I've not written a manual!

Okie dokie!! Instead of trying to figure out any of that, folks: If you have a story you've already posted and mean to be part of a challenge, just let Maram or me know, and we'll make sure it gets that little *challenge entry* designation.

Heya all. You might've noticed that the letter-writing challenge is due this Friday! Eek! I know a few of us have signed up, and it's such a durned lovely challenge... how would ya'll feel about pushing the deadline back a week or two??
Is everybody else just waiting to post their story? Am I the only one who hasn't gotten off her booty and written something yet?
If so, the deadline can stay. But if Leila and Legolaslover and Eveningnightshade (and anybody else who has a hankering to post a challenge fic this round) wouldn't mind a little more time, I just might adjust that deadline...
Thoughts?? |

Yes! Another week or so would be wonderful! I did start to write something but have decided to abandon it, what little there is. Now I'm working on a new and BETTER one, so some more time would be wonderful!

Hear ye, hear ye! We have a New challenge....
The Impressive Swordplay Challenge.
Your mission: Use the phrase "impressive swordplay" in a story. Any rating, any length. Be creative.
Oh, and there's no time limit on this one. Loose the muse!
Entrants will receive a special commendation from the Challenge Admins (it's a *secret*). |

Well, I finally managed a story which included impressive swordplay.
Unfortunately, I failed to notice the adjective 'sexy' until I'd finished writing.
