Wyrd Bid Ful Araed Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Odd. There aren't a lot of entries thus far.I hope to complete my entry within the next couple days. I wonder how many other people are putting off posting their stories till the last day of the entry period? I meant to have mine done by now but the festive period really slowed me down...

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, I've been really slowed down in doing my entry. Part of it's just everything else that happens around this time of year, part of it's probably procrastination.And part, of course, is that I've got the setting, the characters, and no plot as of yet. Might be sitting out if I can't come up with a plot.

Thunder on the Mountain Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Mine won't be completed, unfortunately. I was too busy before Christmas, and now after I don't really have any inspiration or motive to finish it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I went to London and the time zoneness officially messed me up...but I've written so much already that it feels wrong to give up now.

GSR Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Odd. There aren't a lot of entries thus far.I hope to complete my entry within the next couple days. I wonder how many other people are putting off posting their stories till the last day of the entry period? I had an idea but it hasn't really worked out so far. Couple that with the holidays and I'm afraid mine hasn't gone anywhere.Then again I wrote all of my SSC8 entry in a day, so maybe inspiration'll strike again. Here's hoping.

Waffles Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 The fact that the contest goes right through the holidays and ends on a night of hard partying might account for the lack of entries. I really should finish mine up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm either going to end up writing the whole thing between now and midnight tomorrow or, more likely, I'm going to write it on my own time and maybe not even make it a Christmas story.

Velox Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Alrighty people, if you were wanting to write a story but didn't have time:The deadline has been extended until January 6, 2012. I was hoping to finish this contest before then, but, to be honest, I didn't realize the date when I set it. =P (well, the poor choice in choosing this date as a deadline, at least) Hence the deadline change. And also because we need more entries. And there's that whole "twelve days of Christmas" thing, and Jan 6th is 12 days after Christmas. =PAnyway, since I'm sure the question will come up: if you rushed to post up your entry, you may feel free to PM 55555 or I in order to edit your entry.

Ezorov Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Ahhh, yes! Thank you!I wasn't necessarily planning on entering this contest, but last night as I was falling asleep an idea struck that I--personally--liked. (Darn that inspiration of mine. Always seems to come so very late-notice! ) And seeing that the deadline has now been moved I might actually be able to write a decent story ^_^Hope to be entering!

GSR Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Well, that's good news! Maybe this thing'll turn out in the end after all - I've got about 1000 words now but it's going to be tricky to make it come out well. Hey: I'm not very active around BZP right now.

Peach 00 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Although I'm not entering, for the sake of others, a question: If the SS would be a chapter in a COT epic or in a Bionicle epic (turned into COT, of course), would it still be allowed? I'm not entering (SSC8 was good enough for me, lol), but just a question for others. I didn't check the topic to see if it was already asked, but just out of curiosity. On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Velox Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 @ Peach ~ No, that probably wouldn't be allowed. Also, if one was writing a Bionicle story, he or she wouldn't have to make it COT -- Bionicle entries are fine here, as all fanfiction stories are, but we just prefer COT ones.@ EW ~ Rene, I hate you. =P ~ Velox "As a writer you ask yourself to dream while awake." ~ Aimee Bender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolover-361 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm pretty sure Velox meant January 6 was the last day of the entry period, which would mean 11:59 PM EST tonight (now three hours, forty-four minutes away) is the deadline....I had better work on my entry.
