Meeting deadlines don't work for me so I probably won't do it but it's fun! I might sign up to be an artist because I'm dabbling into photoshop now haha. Or maybe a beta, 16,000 words can go by fast or slow depending on how much you write per chapter haha

majestamoniet August 11 2010, 03:28:02 UTC

Well, the deadline isn't until December so as long as I don't procrastinate I should be able to make it. Thea last chapter of Zenith was over 11,000 words and I wrote that in three weeks. I'm more worried about me losing direction/inspiration for the story halfway though and letting down whichever artist is assigned to me. *sigh*

decisions, decisions

writerfreek August 11 2010, 03:33:33 UTC

For as long as you've been working on Zenith I'd say you'd be alright in that aspect hun. Speaking of... I WANT THE NEXT CHAPTER NOW

oh lord "decisions, decisions" makes me think of Jane...

majestamoniet August 11 2010, 03:36:04 UTC

I'm working on it. Promise!

Yes, I looked/sounded just as creepy and foreboding as her when I wrote that.

It sounds like a lot of fun, and a good opportunity to either challenge myself as a writer or practice for making a serious effort at writing. It's an interesting idea, but as new as I am a writer in general and in twilight and as lazy I am as a person...I couldn't write for anything other than no-pressure, on my own time, on my own dime fun. It's really easy for me to lose motivation and that writing mojo when I don't have fun anymore. Selfish and narcissistic as it sounds, writing is something that's just for me mostly. Maybe next time and I really look forward to what others come up with.

I definitely know where you're coming from. Two years ago I wouldn't have ever considered joining something like this. But now with a couple fic exchanges under my belt (which is less pressure but still sets a deadline) and my first multi-chap nearly completed, I feel a bit more confident about it. Maybe if they decide to do another strictly J/B big bang like they did last year, you'll be ready by then. :)

But,IDK, I'll probably chicken out of this one at the last moment.

pnai_87 August 11 2010, 17:11:04 UTC

Well now, you have talent and experience and self discipline. I think you should try it and see what it's like. I would like to try a fic exchange the next time we have one, but I think that's all the pressure I can deal with at the moment. a stricktly j/b? Can I find those somewhere? Good luck to you if you decide to do it, it really does sound like fun no matter the pressure.

They have exclusive rights to your story for, like, a month, right? I'm not sure I'd like that. (I *do* like the idea of my own personal artist...)

majestamoniet August 11 2010, 12:55:31 UTC

I'm not sure how long it takes before you can start posting the story on another site. Usually that would bother me because I would want to share it here with you ladies first, but I would probably use this thing to write my E/B story. So I could probably be patient. lol.

audreyii_fic August 11 2010, 13:06:06 UTC

Ah, yes, the E/B story... still kicking that one around, huh?

majestamoniet August 11 2010, 13:18:48 UTC

Yes. I'm really pumped about it actually. Although E/B will be the romantic relationship, Bella and Rosalie are the two characters who are gonna get the most page time with Edward, Emmett, and Jacob coming in a little less prominently. I'm excited that I get to work with characters I don't have much experience with.

And I've decided that this story and its ending is going to send a much different message than the series did. So I'm enjoying the chance to stick it to Smeyer on a literary level.

I could be interested, as I have a couple of story ideas that I know wouldn't interest many peeps- but what's it like? Is it full of people who are going to get arsey because I don't depict Edward and Bella as 'teh perfect couple'?

spoonz_10 August 12 2010, 08:46:25 UTC

Well... I would sign up to be an artist, Buuuuut. The only thing I'm really good at is drawing. And I'm not even that good (My friends hate when I say that, but I do anyways cause their reactions are hilarious! XD). Though I have drawn Jake and Bella before. Not any of the others though, so if they popped up I would probably be screwed. lol

And I tend to get lazy anyway P:

But good luck to those who ARE participating! I'm looking forward to it. =)
