My sympathies to you and your family on your loss, DietSnapple.

Lfan...thanks for extending the deadline to end of November. Hopefully the crop of stories that result will be entertaining to all.

Noit to sound ungrateful, but it's G7 that suffered some loss not me.

Okay, I'm back and the deadline was extended! I'll re-read my story when I'm recovered from the jet lag and make sure I didn't mess anything up in my last-minute editing.

Thank you for the kind words. Rough trip.

Anon, if you still need someone to look over your story, PM me.

Question on submissions...my contest story is in PDF form at the moment.

Question is how to submit it so it will show up with all the other entries, which I presume are coming in via Submit Story.

Is there a way to do this or should I just paste the text into the Submit Story window? Or can I put an external link into the text area of Submit story so people can get the PDF via the link?

Don't want to cause anyone extra work, so am looking for the easiest way for the folks running the contest.

Sorry for the late reply but my access is limited right now. Regarding submissions, I'd prefer submissions to be consistent in that they are pasted into the submission forms. You can also email the text to us if you are having problems. Id like to keep all the stories categorized in the same workshop section and this would allow that...

My story, titled Crimson, has been submitted for the contest.

Here's hoping we'll have lots of great submissions to read next week.

I'm really looking forward to the workshop entries. Too bad I didn't have enough time to write a suitable entry myself.

... and it's already in the bank. Didn't something similar happen with the last workshop as well? I'm pretty sure there was an entry that could be read before the end of the deadline.

Yes, mine. I'm really starting to get pissed with this, I'm going to ask Fats to take the story down.

It's been taken down....I'm sorry and I'm out of town so my access is very limited right now. I dunno what happened Anon, but maybe Fats can share some light. In the meantime, EVERYONE has a one day reprieve as I will not post anything till Friday (Dec 2nd), as that's when I'll be back home. Sorry about the difficulties with this....

In terms of submissions, we have Anon's, G7's, Shadar's and mine....any others that we should be expecting? Last call.....

I'm putting the finishing touches to my story. It won't be a complete story, but I think I've reached an appropriate stopping place for the end of part one. I plan to submit it later tonight, but if not I'll definitely submit it tomorrow.

I believe that you switched me to that in the early days of the site because I had some issues with security and uploads, then we both forget about it.

I've just submitted my entry. I doubt it will be good enough to win, but I hope there might be some people who like it.

I look foward to seeing all the other entries.

From the list of authors, it looks like we're in for some good stories!

I was hoping to put the finishing touches on a story this week, but that didn't happen. I'll try to finish it this weekend and send it to the StoryBank as a "non-entry."

I know it will be answered tomorrow when the stories are posted, but did anybody go with the "Fanfiction Fanfiction" part of the "What if?" theme?

Not me...I decided to go with the 2010 Angelina Jolie movie SALT and do a sequel where we discover the truth(s) about Evelyn Salt. And since I can't seem to write anything without involving alien superhuman DNA and uber-blondes...well, you know.

Hope folks remember the movie...

Not for the workshop. However, as a side-project, I did start working on a story "inspired by" conceptfan's "The Groupie". I'm about halfway through a first draft and I'm hopeful it will take less than six months to finish.

I toyed with it for a while, but I scraped it because I could get the proper angle about the character.

Guys --

I just sent FATS an email to go ahead and post the submited stories so far tomorrow, time permitting. My travel plans changed and I won't go into details, but I will not be able to post them tomorrow. Hopefully FATS can....if not, I'll post them as soon as I can.

While my travel was expected, I got throw a personal curve ball earlier this evening so my apologies!
