I already have a story idea for this but I don't mind sharing. It might take me a while to get mine out as I have a ton of stuff I'm working and the story I have planned is not short. Title: "Lines of Communications" Have fun, Matt What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Reply #3 - May 25th, 2010 at 3:42pm Print Post I don't have a problem with openning it for submission now, however I would like to see a fairly wide window for everyone to get involved. I think we could get some real good stories out of this. 3 months, 6 months? I'll go with the group on this. dragon, Denise, anyone else, what do you think?

I can't think Months!!I was thinking more in terms of by June 15th or something like that Unless you want epics... and I just can't cope with that at the moment. I'd be happy to do this challenge though... (going away muttering to herself...months... months,... I've got Legacy and Castled and Combined to finish, and then Matter of Degree to tidy up and AfterMath to write and FarSight to proofread, and another Thunderbirds one to do .. Months..... !) Give us a date Matt!!! to have it completed and posted! Of course Denise might prefer months... I need some air. WWW IP Logged

Not that I'm being fussy Or pernikity or difficult or...(Louise shrieks as Matt puts her into a headlock and threatens her with dire consequences unles she shuts up!) Do you realise I could put 50,000 words into this post?

Neesierie Ex Member Re: new challenge? Reply #8 - May 25th, 2010 at 6:20pm Print Post Is it just me -- or are these little smiles really a blast to play with? OK, I'm in for the challenge. And a month seems like a decent interval of time, especially since I already have 3 stories on the burner, simmering to a boil. That gives me time to finish at least one of those before tackling this one. Thanks, Matt, for the idea! Yours, Denise IP Logged

Reply #10 - Jun 6th, 2010 at 5:43pm Print Post Well, I've finished Lines of Communication.( several handerchiefs later) I won't be fit for much now, writing stuff like that is exhausting. Not even sure if its good, just bloody emotional..... are we having a day when we post them, or are we allowed/supposed to post them as soon as possible? Challenge Master...Matt....your decision!
