So back on September 15, when I still had a mess of prompts left to do, I said I was going to finish one a day, giving me an end date of September 26. How did I do?

Weeeeell...

Okay, so of the twelve prompts I had to write, I finished all but three. And I still intend to get them done. Just... not this weekend, because this weekend is going to be busy-busy. But I'm going to set 10/10 as a goal. October 10. That'll be the day everything is finished and I can finally concentrate on other things.

Like what I'm going to write for NaNoWriMo this year. So far all I know is that it's probably going to involve zombies, if only because I've already written about zombies two Novembers in a row, and they're still in my brain.

But not literally. Because that would be bad. For my brains. And my general well-being.

Words can't express how much I admire all you NaNo writing souls. (My words that is. :P)

It's not as terrible as it seems, I promise. You could tryyyy it~

Okay, I lied. Talking to lots of people planning it, I had to sign up as well. XD My username is koushi.

:) good luck!!!

and awesome on Zombie triple-play!

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

Well, it's just a Zombie double-play at the moment (unless you count the Zombie musical script from two-years-past ScriptFrenzy).

Danke danke!

[photoash.livejournal.com]

I actually remembered the script :)

I for once am considering doing something like Nanowrimo but only if I do it with a friend (which I know isn't allowed >_> but whatev we aren't trying to do it on the website XD )

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about, "not allowed"? It's totally allowed. I've done it before (though usually I do it on top of a single-script). I think the rules are a little different (like, you're supposed to get 75,000 words or something?), but no one pays attention to that.

You should do NaNo, and make a joint-account for you and your friend and then see how it goes!

I'm getting excited for NaNo, but hella nervous, too. I feel like I'm running out of ideas, heh...D-:.

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

I think the running out of ideas part is half the fun. It just means you have to scramble for a gem. :)

Good luck with NaNo. Any sense when the final three prompts might be posted, you writing fool, you?

[kageotogi.livejournal.com]

No sense whatsoever. Mostly beeeeecause they're all only partially finished.

[lawless523.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I know how that feels. I have all these partially finished stories on my computer (now including a partially finished Uraboku story!), and none of the 30 kisses stories are ready to send to you. Depending on how things go, the next one I send you may be an entirely new one I haven't even started yet, but I'm running out of those, considering the prompts devoted to arcs and the prompts I'm stuck on.

A 30 kisses story of some sort should be the next thing I send you. I want to post before the next deadline on December 1st even though I don't think the new mods will start enforcing the rules by then. Under the applicable guidelines, which went by the wayside almost a year ago when the prior mod(s) got too busy to deal with it, I would have to post by then because I took a pass on the previous deadline. I'd like to continue to comply with the existing, though unenforced, rules even though once they get around to publishing a drop list, they should let anyone who wants an extension have one, considering how long participants have relied on the rules not being enforced.

Expect to see some oldies but goodies that needed revisions extensive enough for me to want you to take another look before the end of the year. I'd like to clear up that backlog and start the new year fresh. I also have a number of non-30 kisses Gravitation stories to finish, like the geisha story set in Kyoto that's supposed to be the sequel to "Monkey See, Monkey Do," which I decided needed to be almost entirely ripped apart, the sequel to "Stray," and so on.

I also need to finish the next chapter in "The House of the Rising Sun". Heh. I started it back in July or August and then dropped it to work on sunandearth 393 prompts due in September and a story for 93 day. Those were on top of the 7th night smut story written in June and July and posted in August. I also have a couple of fics for individual requests I need to finish -- I'll be giving them to whymzycal, so you don't need to worry about them, but they've been getting in the way of getting other things done. I've learned that if I'm going to solcit requests, I have to limit them to a pairing or characters, one or two word prompts (or maybe a single phrase), and a rating, so I can come out of it with a fic of no more than 2,000 words. They've become overly burdensome, which is why I stayed away from doing it to begin with.

Enough about me. I feel your partially-finished fic pain, and look forward to seeing them, especially the two Gravi prompts.
