That is correct, Argo.

If you try hard enough, you can almost always get around the rules!

In spite of work kicking my ass for the last couple of months, I have managed to finish the first draft of my workshop story. It's three chapters, about 20,000 words in total. I think it needs more work and editing down, but I don't think I'm going to be able to do that before November 15th. Work has calmed down, but there's been a death in my family which is going to take a lot of planning, energy and long distance travel.
Would somebody or somebodies be willing to look over my first draft and let me know if it's acceptable for the workshop, or whether I should sit on it? Maybe point out any egregious errors.
The concept is similar to the old thread discussion we had where Supergirl was DC's most popular character instead of Superman. The story is about Supergirl-Prime, who is a female equivalent of Superboy-Prime. She's evil. There is a lot of unpleasant violence, but no sexual content.
PM me with an email if you are interested.
Thank you.

I've spent so much time on Sunshine Tomorrow that my contest entry story is lagging. I could use the two week extension to do it right.

I dont see why not, extensions can be bought from me at a cost of $1000 per week, all payments should be sent to iwanttomakefatsarichbastard@money.com

What a deal...I'll send it right over, Fats. Given all the moolah we make on these stories, riches uncounted (just try to count it...you can't) it's a good investment for sure.

Then again I'm spending my time on continuing my other story instead of cooking something up for the workshop, so ...

Thank you so much to Anon for reading the draft and giving me some great feedback, especially on the second chapter. I don't know if I've fixed it, but I think it's much better for your advice and you inspired me to finish editing it.
I'm sorry I won't be able to return the favor. I'm travelling for sucky reasons (funeral) and I won't be back for over a week. I won't be able to check in on the site until the deadline for the workshop.
Good luck all!

Selfishly, I'm swamped with things before Thanksgiving with 15 family members staying with us and cannot dedicate time to my writing right now, unless it's a grocery list
I still plan to contribute and hope others still do too
