And Solid.

T-minus 5 days for our annual winter writing contest. I hope you guys are ready to generate some nice ideas for stories. As always, there will be polls, judging, and prizes, so I hope you're as excited as I am.

Look forward to it!

Hardly feels like December is so close. This whole year has gone by so fast.

Curses, my attempt at Nanowrimo failed once again. On the plus side, it's helped flesh out a lot of ideas. I'll probably continue writing it over time.

And only a couple more days 'till December. I'm pretty excited.

It's true. This year passed by like a terse breeze.

So, the contest thread is up.

Who's in this year?

I'll definitely be submitting something, but it will be a while before I begin working on my entry due to finals being around the corner for me.

2000 word limit?! I wrote 60 000 in a month

Welcome welcome.

It's always cool to have someone new from the contests.

Yuzuki N Dash as in THAT Yuzuki N Dash? Nice.

Contest? Probably in, depending on the end of this week news and if I can get any inspiration. Morals written by an immoral guy like me hmm...

Welcome!

Gents, Merry Christmas and may the new year not rape you as bad as this one did to us all. God Bless.

I thought I'd share what I've been doing lately with regards to writing for no reason other than it feels good to tell people about it. Work on the next part of Age of Anarchy is under way. I've been working at a snail's pace, but I plan on speeding up. I just got 500 words done today, and I hope to get at least that much done every day from here on out. After this leg of the overarching story is done, I've got one more part to tackle, and then this crazy thing that's been stewing in my head for years that I thought I'd never accomplish will be done. I can't say it's turned out as epic as I imagined it would in my head, but I suppose I can't complain. I've learned a lot so far from my work on it. I don't regret a thing. Least of all, I don't regret deciding to post it on these forums and getting to know all of you as a result. It's been awesome, and I can't wait to see what the future brings.

So, what've you guys been up to? Oh, and merry Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate. Unless you detest holidays and happiness in general. In that case, down with Santa Claus! I hope he burns in hell.

That's really good news, d. It brings me joy to hear that things are progressing well for you, and further towards that ultimate project you've mentioned in the past. I really regret that I never took the chance to read through Age of Anarchy, or its second arc, or even The Tempest like I wanted. I always run into the same issue that kept me from reading the longer more epic novels by classical authors which I am cursed with. That curse is reading word-for-word. It's good for picking up most little mistakes, but also causes me to take forever to read so I usually don't find the motivation to take the time. A real shame, obviously. A good thing from this, however, is that it enables me to keep a more keen eye for great one-shots.

So, if I may transition into something because of that. It brings me a special pleasure to be able to adequately judge your works for this winter contest. So, for all those still working on a entry, please be aware that you have 5 more days before the deadline. I look forward to seeing whatever entries that have yet to be completed.

Thanks. Perfectly understandable, but if you do ever get a chance to read it, I'd love to have your feedback.

It looks like there's gonna be a lot less entries for the contest this year. I know more will come in at the last possible second, but I still. I think there already more submissions around this time last year. I suppose I shouldn't complain because that means my chances of winning are better, but really. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I haven't even used the prize I got last year. The thing about these competitions I really like is that everyone that submits an entry is obligated to read the other entries, and that means far more people than usual read my stuff and leave some sort of feedback. So in that respect, we're all losing out.

Hey, just a reminder to everyone that the contest is ending tonight at 11:59pm EST (GMT -5) so try to finish up your entry and make your final changes.

Thank you!

Time flew so fast, I could've sworn today was 30, not 31.

So like, I am currently making a new RP months after my first one went downhill. Been working a good 2 months on this one and I think I am making good time, perhaps I can get this guy out and about in...say...the 15th? But that's if I work on it nonstop.
