Admin: 7th Wave

[ladyg_funk]

Hello! Thanks for your advice and suggestions! Some of you suggested using old challenges or unclaimed prompts for a new round of ficafest artwork and fan fiction. I like that idea and starting December 1, 2007, we'll open the 7th Wave of the Harry/Ginny Fic-A-Fest with 30 previously unused challenge prompts from the 1st to 6th waves. (I don't

Hi. I should have asked sooner, but I was wondering: if there was a claimed prompt in an earlier wave that was never submitted, is it available now?

=/ That gets to be confusing. Hmmm... which wave and challenge are you talking about specifically? Let me think about it some more and see how this set of challenges goes. If we need more challenges, I can add more later on.

The one I had in mind was challenge #2 from the 6th wave:

Post-Hogwarts, Ginny and Harry reunite after a short breakup and time spent finding themselves.

I have a plot bunny that fits in well with this, but I understand that it may be sort of awkward since it was claimed. If it's too confusing, I could probably bend one of the existing prompts to my will....

Thanks for thinking about it.

Maybe in a few months, I can do another wave with challenges that were claimed but never submitted. Right now I don't have the time to compare the original claiming lists with the master list, but I'm sure that can eventually be done. Sorry, I realize that doesn't resolve your issue right now. If anything, some of the prompts can be used as just a tiny mention (ie "oh, Charlie's in Romania." or "Harry walked by the Shrieking Shack.") and not as the main plot of your fic. =/ I hope you still participate!

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be finishing my story tonight and hopefully getting it posted. I am sorry that I'm late. I'm never late for challenge fics and I'm stressing out about this one. CoR (who is supposed to be helping me) has been unexpectedly delayed with a huge project which shows no signs of ending, so I've had to write it all myself and then I've been sick this week, including having eye problems which made it impossible to type for a couple of days. Plus, the story has turned into a huge monster so the time I have allocated toward it, meaning to finish the dang thing up, has not been nearly adequate. But today, it will get worked on and hopefully finished.

Thanks for running the challenge. It's really produced some good stories so far. Hopefully ours will add to that streak.

I was trying to post my story for the 8th wave (I know it's late) but I got a strange error from LJ that read: Error updating journal: Client error: Maximum queued posts for this community+poster combination reached.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
