get to it, slacker.

 

[MagicaPractica]

I think I may actually have an entry for this contest. It will be the first thing I've submitted in a very long time. It's coming along slowly. I'm writing bits and peices on my lunch break and plotting on my commute to and from work. It may be too short to make many people happy but I like where it's going. Was shooting for an erotic horror but it is turning into a romance. Oh well. It is fun writing again, and that is the most important thing for me.

Good luck everyone!

get to it, slacker.

I did get to it. Then I lost track of time and ran late getting ready for work. lol.
Whoop! Getting ready to write some more here in a minute.

 

[sirreadsalot10]

I think I will sit this one out. Good luck everyone.

 

[Darkniciad]

I'm going to end up sitting it out if I can't get back on the horse. My back was killing me for a few days, so I decided to stay off the computer for the most part. Got out of the habit of writing at least a little each day, and I haven't been able to get back into it now that I can sit here without wincing again.

Glad I already have a couple of stories written and ready to go. Haven't been in the mood to write. Guess it's just getting old. Good luck to all who enter. I don't think I'll be posting much to the thread. I will be stopping by to read the thread.

Nothing written, no ideas, and no time, so I guess I'm sitting this one out.

Hoping to have all the editing done on the new book by the first of Nov. so i have time for NaNo this year. I made it last year and i hope to repeat this year.

Good luck to all and I'll stop by here to check on things and do some reading.

For any newbies running around here.... Words of warning below.

Grand_High_Poobah ake Gabby aka Gabriella L. (Blowup doll, fake secretary and one of scouries many alts.)


Since there is no such thing as the ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDENT READERS (A.I.R.) associated with or from Lit, except in scouries head, it can't sanction anything but Scouries usual hot air.

Since scouries and company can't win a REAL contest, he makes up his own list of winners using stories he steals from the REAL Lit contest without the authors knowledge or consent.

Just more of Scouries phony bullshit.

I have an idea for a story!

Now, to actually write it...

Yeah, me too... especially the latter point!

 

[Bebeslut]

I use the same set of characters from story to story, but I don't write "chapter works" per se. I suppose a stand-alone story using my standard characters fits within the rules of the contest, eh?

There is one that will tell you different but it is well within the rules. Fire away and have fun.

On a personal note: I've come up with an idea but it might be too long to write with the time remaining. We shall see.

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

No stories?

*pouts* I was really looking forward to reading ALL of your entries for this one. The muses must be sleeping or on vacation, huh? Is this not the perfect time of year for the Leanan Sidhe to make her appearance? Or is the fact that she is not inspiring, slowly driving you to madness? Would you accept her inspiration, if she offered it?

I have one story complete and one almost complete. Thank you to Litfan10 for your helpful critiquing and editing

Darkniciad,

Sorry to hear you are in pain, for whatever reason. I am currently battling sciatica, and am not a stranger to pain. I hope you find some relief.

'Twas a pleasure! Thanks for the privilege. You have a great story there. Best of luck to you in the contest.

I have definitely one, maybe two stories for this contest.

Good luck to everyone as the day approaches!

 

[Darkniciad]

Back quit hurting, but I'm still off the writing horse. Falling back on the one thing that's always worked before -- playing games. The only problem with it is that I get obsessed with the game and don't want to write until I beat it or hit a slow point. Just have to hope I can drag myself away from DQ IX long enough to at least finish my story from last year

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

Dark,

Glad the back is better. Goodluck resisting the siren song of the quest *LOL* Don't feel too guilty. Gaming, esp RPGs can provide as much inspiration as anything else

~Luna

 

[PerilEyes]

I wasn't planning on it but I'll have a submission too. I started it today and might even be able to finish the first draft today as well!

 

[Marcella_Minx]

Contest Virgin!

Greetings A/all

Just wanted to say "hey". I have only just started submitting stories here. In fact to be honest, I came here just to write about myself and my naughty sextra-maritial escapades (got 3 chapters of that story pending), but whilst I was at it, I thought I'd have a go at a short erotic Halloween-themed tale too. For your reading pleasure!

I'm no expert, but it made me wet writing it, so hope it does similar for all you boys and girls on here.

Not really sure what else to say, but hopefully try to be around alot now I'm here!

Welcome to the Madhouse. The more the merrier.

 

[meathead96]

Well, first contest, so I'm curious to see how it goes. Submitted the story after totally ripping and reworking it, and "submission" page has it listed for 10/1, so we'll see what happens. Good luck to all, and I can't wait to see what everyone came up with!
PS, thx to sirhugs for the idea for my story, and to a girl named Bethany for helping with a lot of questions!

A welcome to you also.

Hmmm, I'm sounding like the welcome wagon around here.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

Beta reader needed for a paranormal straight romance story (3K just a quickie) - no sex. May end up in the contest. But I need feedback by tomorrow. PM me if you can help. All I need is someone to tell me if it all flows and makes sense!
