This is just another signal boost for the Fantasy Flash Fiction Contest that is running at the moment over at PodCastle. Since 3 whole groups of stories have been posted till now, I think I'm not revealing too much when I tell you that one of my stories is already up for voting! This is very, very exciting!! :-D Until now it doesn't seem to be ( Read more... )

Just to let you know, the first group of stories is now up over at the PodCastle Flash Fiction Contest. There will be a total of 10 groups with 12 to 13 stories in each group going up during the next five weeks, though, so hold back some enthusiasm for later rounds... ;-) If you're interested, you can find the exact schedule here. I have no idea ( Read more... )

So, yesterday was the deadline for the PodCastle Flash Fiction Contest and I managed to submit my two stories in time! :-) (Everyone could enter two fantasy stories of 500 words.) Many, many thanks again to goldvermilion87 for beta reading ( Read more... )

So... Despite my best intentions, I haven't updated for almost a month again... Well. So you'll get a update of random things now. :-D ( Read more... )

And another entry today - it seems I'm getting back into blogging. :-D

I can't believe I've almost missed the PodCastle Flash Fiction Contest! Only one month left to enter! I better start writing right now! *very excited*

Okay, what am I talking about? PodCastle is a podcast which runs fantasy short stories. Occasionally they host flash fiction ( Read more... )

Sorry for the radio silence on my journal. Not only have I been very busy with work (too busy if you ask me, but what can you do?), I've also suffered some kind of writer's block. I simply couldn't find any ideas or even motivate myself to start writing anything. And it should be fun, right? So telling yourself to sit down and get words written ( Read more... )

Anyone else still in desperate need to get lots of work done on their holmestice story?

I know I am. I have an outline and also some of the writing done, but there's still so much left to do! And even then I'm not sure it'll really fit my recipient's wishes... But yeah, mostly it's still a huge part of the story that's simply not done yet ( Read more... )

I've seen this meme going around during the last few days (most recently over at methylviolet10b's journal), so why not have a little fun and participate as well? Basically, it's finding out your Top Five stories on AO3 by various categories and then see if patterns emerge... :-D

( Cut for length )

I can report last week's word count as approximately 600 words, all of which were written on my short story (yes, the one I'm talking about all the time). This is awesome. :-) It's not quite as awesome that I still haven't finished the first draft. But at least it's almost done. I can more or less see the shape of the story and while there are ( Read more... )

Last week's word count was roughly 500 words. This isn't really impressive, but considering that I got two fanfics beta'ed, edited and posted (which don't count in this statistics), I don't feel like it's bad, either. I have been writing other stuff, like fun memes, too, so I think it wasn't a bad week creatively, only one where I didn't get much ( Read more... )
