Annual Challenge!

[tarotgal]

Just about two days until the annual challenge fics are due- how is everyone out there doing on their fics?

I'm nearly finished with my final Challenge piece. I had hoped to have it done Friday before going to sleep, but 3am is closing in and I'm getting sleepy. It's very close to being completed, though. Just another page or two at the most- I want to get the wording just right as I've had the idea for this fic for at least a year now.

Then I will be turning my attention to GWT's holiday giftfic. Only bits and pieces are written at the moment but I do hope filling in scenes will be easy, and I have the majority worked out in my head. It's just a matter of writing it well :-)


We're supposed to get over a foot of snow tomorrow. I'm soooooooooooooooooo excited. Apart from one day where we had a light dusting and some ice, we haven't had snow yet this winter and I luuuuuuuuuuuurve snow. Soooo romantic and inspiring. The desk/computer in my new room is just a yard and a half or so from the large glass sliding door here. So I plan to pull the blinds open and watch the snow fall all day. Can't imagine a nicer atmosphere for writing! So excited!!! Sleepy, but excited :-)

When does it end exactly?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm just curious about the exact hour the challenge ends. Does it end at 12:00 PM on Saturday, so they'll be ready for Sunday, or does it end at 12:00 PM on Sunday? I have one, small piece for this that just needs one or two last scenes written and then editted. So count on there being another last minute story for this challenge other than just yours and Hermione's. :)

Thanks,

From the rules:
All entries must be turned in by Feb 12, 2006. (Sun.) By 11:59pm, Pacific Standard time.


A phrased it like that to eliminate this question :-) So that's 11:59pm on Sunday night. i.e. before Monday morning. So you have the whole rest of the weekend. And I *think* A & I might allow a few late stories to trickle in if you let us know ahead of time.

Thanks! I guess I should have read the rules more carefully. It would be nice if the challenge could get at least 15 stories, don't you think? It seems like everybody started theirs late-except for you and Hermione of course!

I just sent my fic off. Kind of late in the day I know, trying to finish a second one off too. Hopefully by tomorrow morning it should be done! If that's not too late? Not sure about time difference between GMT England and America, anywhere between 5-8 hours I think so if I get up early enough might not even be late at all, lol.
