So yeah, managed to get my SSAO P3 entry in just literally seconds over the time limit. Not sure if I'm officially into the contest yet, but I'd rather have readers after the contest so I can make edits. Because of time, I was forced to publish the entry without doing any proofreading or editing whatsoever, so I can only cross my fingers and pray that everything is in order. Anyway, good luc
Because I figure I should post an entry of some kind but can't think of anything else to post about, winter testing for this year's Formula One season began today. Seven of the thirteen teams to be competing next year ran in today's opening session at Valencia in Spain. Their fastest times are as follows:
1. Massa (Ferrari) 1:12.574
2. de la Rosa (BMW Sauber-Ferrari) 1:12.784
3. M. Schumacher (Mercedes GP) 1:12.947
4. Rosberg (Mercedes GP)
Just realized I haven't posted anything here in a long while. I've been sort of inactive lately for a variety of reasons, but in the coming days I'm hoping to get back into posting/reporting/random stuff. I've been meaning to get some of my writing topics cleaned up and also post some new stuff soon, so keep an eye out.
It's supposed to be cold and wintery where I live, but it seems that Mother Nature opted for a brisk two weeks of brutally cold temperatures before deciding that spring should be in the air. The temperature is sitting at twice as many degrees Fahrenheit as it should be at this time of year. Normally I'd complain about how it should be snowing, but the weather outside is absolutely fantastic right now. It's warm and breezy just like one of those lazy summer days... and in the middle of winter.
Valentine's Day Story Club
Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and love is in the air... for some. For others, it's a perfect time to write a love story. I have a feeling I'm not the only one writing a Valentine's Day story, and as such, this idea crossed my mind: a Valentine's Day Story Club.
Q: What is the club about?
A: Basically, the idea is to form a list of V-Day stories in this entry with the goal of earning reviews from fellow V-Day story writers. If you've written or are still
What a waste of a great car. I mean, if anything, the guy should've been enjoying the ability to drive the car, not using his cell phone. Just goes to show that having a fast or precise car doesn't always make someone a good driver. Honestly, the thing that scares me the most about this is that people like this are on the road every day--if anything, this speaks volumes about the dangers of using a cell-phone while driving.
Next time you're having a bad day, just be glad you aren't this guy.
Thanks to everyone else on Team Yes who participated in the creation of our story. It was a pleasure working with all of you, and I'm very glad we came out on top. Excellent work everyone, and be sure to keep writing!
Wow, first story I've posted in... a while? So yeah, been meaning to get something up, and finally got around to keeping my word. It's nothing like I had originally planned on writing, nor is it something I think I'm especially proud of, but I'm glad I was able to write something. The story is an alternate version of S&D taking place after the unwritten end of the story, but it has nothing to do with the actual plotline and contains no story spoilers at all. It'd be really nice to get some
Just wanted to let everyone know that tomorrow I'll be leaving on a short trip to visit a very dear friend, and I most likely will not have internet access until I'm back on Sunday. I won't be able to respond to PM's/comments until then, so hang in there.
So if you're one of the elite few (marketing ftw ) that still has any interest in my only epic, Search and Destroy, it might be of your remote concern that after two and a half months since revising the first chapter, I've finally posted the revised version of the second chapter. If you haven't read the epic yet, I'd obviously encourage you to do so. I've put a lot of effort into the two revisions I've done so far, and I do want to finish the story at some point. If I'm ever going to do that, th
Even if you aren't really a follower of Formula One or racing in general, I suggest you read this. It's mildly amusing, to say the least. *lol*
I got quite a kick out of this. I can't remember the last time F1 drivers argued like these two. I must say it's quite hilarious.
It's been a long-awaited plan of mine to go back and touch up my only existing epic, Search and Destroy. Finally, I've found the time to start making revisions. If you've read any of my work other than S&D, then you shouldn't expect much from it. The writing quality is much lower, and I've since adopted a higher standard in what I want to have posted here on BZP. As such, I'm going back and revising much of the epic, making some relatively big changes to the style of narration and descriptio
No, this isn't a LotR-related entry (Gotcha LK (you too, Velox) ), but something I think is a bit more important:

Simply amazing. My interest in F1 has been multiplied ten times compared to what it was at the end of last year. If you weren't watching F1 before, now is the absolute best time to start. Can't wait for the first race of the season!
I don't even know why I'm writing this.
Rainbow Road, in pretty much any of its forms, is one of the most awesome race tracks ever, even if it's only from Mario Kart. The music, the setting, the danger, the speed, the spectacle; it's all there. There is absolutely nothing like cruising about the cosmos on a narrow, multi-colored ribbon that twists this way and that, even if only in a video game. Whoever came up with the idea certainly had an original one, that's for sure. Still waiting for N
So with Valentine's Day coming up, I figured I could use it as an excuse to finally get a love story written and posted so I can get it checked off on the list of genres I've written into. For a while, I was absolutely rock-bottom on inspiration, and then suddenly, I've got so many ideas that it's difficult for me to pick just one of them. Honestly, what would you guys be the most interested in seeing?

So the last F1 race of the year was run today, and I can honestly say I wasn't exactly impressed. Usually nothing can take my attention away from an F1 race, but I barely payed attention to the last twenty laps or so. There were very few overtaking moves at all, and honestly not much to remember from the race other than the track. The only highlights of the race were Kamui Kobayashi passing newly-crowned world champ Jenson Button and a battle for second between Mark Webber and Button towards the
Just wanting to wish everyone here on BZP a Merry Christmas, and to a greater extent, a happy new year as well. Remember to be thankful for everything you've gotten today, and to show appreciation to those who gave things to you. Hope everyone got some really cool stuff!
Schoolwork has gotten a little more intense than I thought it would be, and as such, I'm going to be taking a two-week leave or so from BZP and internet stuff in general. If I come on BZP, it'll probably be to respond to the odd comment or check messages. If you send me anything, don't count on me responding quickly, though. Until then, I'll have my nose to the grindstone trying to accomplish as much as possible.
See you all in two weeks, hopefully a little sooner.

The Brazilian GP today saw the crowning of a first-time Formula One World Champion: Jenson Button. Although I would've rather seen either of his rvials win the championship more than him, Button showed one heck of a race today.
The race was entertaining at the start, with plenty of mayhem throughout the field, but a little more boring towards the end. Kamui Kobayashi is officially one of my favorite drivers; after the bold moves he showed today, he's exactly what F1 has been missing these las
