Mini Challenge/Game Time: 24 Hour Writing Contests!

Aug 30, 2011 08:52

This week we've got some extra time to kill before the September battles contest starts, so we mods thought it'd be fun to host a mini contest-game thing. There will be no voting and there is no sign-up. You can play or not as you choose, but there's a reward in it for EVERYONE who makes it through.

There are a lot of writing tips floating about, ( Read more... )

Because LJ is being kinda craptastic at the moment and NOT letting me edit this entry without losing my poll and jacking up the format, I'm going to just type this addendum here and hope I did my coding correctly.

Tuesday's prompt will end Wednesday, August 31st, at 6:30 PM EST. A new prompt and submission poll will be put up at that same time.

So, technically speaking, this first day you have a little more than 24 hours to get something in. *shrugs*

Now I want to do ficlets about my characters' memories. :)) First up is Nelaine before life got too complicated.

toxic_apiaceae August 30 2011, 14:04:39 UTC

Oh, awesome plan, nili! *thumbs up*

niliwen August 30 2011, 14:05:07 UTC

Haha! Glad you think so, thora!

katden August 30 2011, 14:18:06 UTC

Ditto.

toxic_apiaceae August 30 2011, 15:23:23 UTC

Hehehe, glad you approve, kat!

Also, I'm not sure if you knew or not ... but you're slated to host topics for September. Are you okay to do that still? If not, we'll work something out.

MOANINGS AND BEEFINGS! bluegerl August 30 2011, 15:17:15 UTC

It has taken me five times as long to post this story up as it took me to write it! WHAT has LJ done with the posting page - its is CRAP. Can't even edit from private to public without having to re-indent, replace eliminated quotemarks, the cut keeps telling me, AFTER I have done one 'read more', to go to this arsehole Wizard, so I get TWO 'read mores'. There was a time one could private, read, see corrections or alterations, to edit, do, re-read, maybe another edit, check, then change from Private to Public. NOw -HAH! Its worse than when I was learning how to do things on my new PC. Semagic takes out indents and quotes. SCREAMS!!!! Sorry folks. not at YOU, but these new changes for changes sake. ANyone else having these problems?

Re: MOANINGS AND BEEFINGS! toxic_apiaceae August 30 2011, 15:18:41 UTC

Yes. Horribly so. I freakin' hate that I can't edit shit on here without it screwing my format. I mean, the LEAST LJ could do is buy my formatting dinner first....

Re: MOANINGS AND BEEFINGS! katden August 30 2011, 15:32:40 UTC

This type of junk has been a pain for MONTHS. I've gotten so aggrivated I rarely even log in anymore. :(

Is is just a symptom of the rich text editor? Because I only ever use that for editing posts, and I've never had an issue. Then again, I don't spend that much time on LJ anyway, so.

Ooh, I haven't written much lately outside of WWE fic so I think it'd be nice to get back to original writing... A warm up before NANOWRIMO, if you will!

toxic_apiaceae August 31 2011, 03:21:39 UTC

Oooh, yes! I hadn't thought about a NaNo warm up, but that's kinda like what this is.

Sooo... you should definitely give it a shot. *pokes*

ayumidah August 31 2011, 05:19:11 UTC

I will :D
