grrrr  
so the fic challenge deadline is tomorrow, I'm nearly done, really, I know exactly where this is going and I know I can get it done within the word limit. But I'm sitting here watching Enterprise of all things and flaffing instead of writing.

Grrr.

Stop Flaffing. You're only up against me and Richard, which I'm sure isn't too much trouble for someone of your talents (not that I'm saying Richard isn't a good writer, he is) unless someone else enters one by the end of tomorrow.

Don't sell yourself short, the fact that both you and Richard chose to do drabbles for this could work in your favour - mine's very wordy at the moment and is desperate need of the red pen.

If I ever get it finished that is....

It was more of a true challenge for me. I knew I wanted to do the Willow/Oz thing, but if I really went into it wouldn't be able to keep it under the word limit. So I just turned it on it's head and with Richard doing his in drabble form I went 'Okay. See if you can do yours in 50 words or under.' (Is that a mini-drabble?)

So for me, whatever the result of the challenge, I've already won as I wrote it in 49 words.

Yay! *claps hands* Glad you haven't forgotten that request that you enter every single challenge on the list!

(just finished mine btw, typing it up and then a quick edit and yay!)

might take you up on that. I want to give it one more read through first myself though, should be done soon.

crap - way over the word limit, might be a little bit longer while I edit it down. Sorry!

I did say it was a little wordy.... I've only got another 120 or so to cut.
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on August 30th, 2004 12:25 pm (UTC)
That's nearly three times my total word count.

sometimes size matters...

Well I guess you'd know about that little miss Suck it and See.

Now, do you want me to take that literally or not?

*grins* then *ducks*

how far is it between where you are and where I am? Not that far really... Remember that.

OH MY GOD. I've just seen an ad for the new series of 'That 70's Show' And they've used a clip with Aly in it. I wasn't really paying attention til I heard the voice.

Sorry, I'll get back to your story now Sho.

LOL - easily distracted aren't you?
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on August 30th, 2004 01:19 pm (UTC)
Hey, it was Aly. And your story should be on it's way back. Only one niggle really as I've said in it.

All quiet on the Western front. There wasn't that much to digest Sho.
