one story, and half an hour to go!
Archive will go live in a little over half an hour. While we wait for that, we still have one person without a story. If you can do any of their prompts or write them treats, it would be greatly appreciated! There are some popular tv fandoms here, so please, give them a look.

People without stories.
As of now, there are still some people who have written stories who have no stories for them in the archive. I'm posting details for their prompts. If you have any of these people, turn in your stories ASAP. If you can write anything for these people, it would bring us that much closer to the archive opening.

Just a friendly reminder that I'll be closing the archive for uploading before going to bed in a little over an hour, at 4 am CST.
So if you're waiting for last minute beta, making edits, rushing to finish, keep that in mind.
