AuthorityHellas16 he/him Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Yeah, I was thinking that. I'm also looking forward to catching up on some submissions I've missed over the past week! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci she/her Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Count me in for today, too. Mine might run a little over, maybe 500 words or so, but I'm not sure because I'm still editing as we speak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 With my Silk hat on (does that sound weird?) you are No.2, so the way seems to be clear. At 10% over 5,000 words you would not be any more guilty than a plethora of other 'transgressors' - self included 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 10% over 5,000 words you would not be any more guilty than a plethora of other 'transgressors' - self included Well, it just so happens that I cut 1K words from the submission, bringing it down to a cool 4500 words. I'm sure it could be cut even further. Not sure what that says about the writing, either way. Edited February 15, 2016 by Marci 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisenheim Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'll have flash piece ready for Monday. I'll take a spot unless we get a sudden rush. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think you'll be on your own. Even so, I think we once had a flash piece that was Submission No.6 - so I doubt it will be a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kammererite Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I might have something really rough that I could use some feedback on for this week if we are going to be short on submissions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Seeing as I get up before you lot in the morning... (time difference helps, I suppose ;op ) That looks like Eisenheim and Kammererite for submission today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci she/her Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Still time to submit for this week? Even if it's *ahem* around 1K over the usual limit? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Still time to submit for this week? Even if it's *ahem* around 1K over the usual limit? Hmm, double whammy? On the basis that we've only had two submissions so far and one was only 750 words, I can't see a reason against it.

Marci she/her Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yep, two chapters this time. I was shooting for three, but it got too out of hand even after last-minute edits. This submission is under 5K. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci she/her Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) I want to submit on Monday, if that's okay with the group, and there's room. Soooo... I really want to send out two chapters to meet all y'all's demands for content of a more fantastical nature, but as of right now that would add up to a whopping 6500 words. If I can't cut the text to a more manageable size (which at this point I doubt, because it seems like I keep adding each time I open the document), there'll probably be just the one chapter. Edit: Got it down to 6K for both chapters. Yea, or nay? Edited February 27, 2016 by Marci 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamon he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Fine with me, especially as you seem to be the only one for next week so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski he/him Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yeah, me too. I think if the aggregate word count is clearly going to be below the 5 times 5,000 words, then it's reasonable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci she/her Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Cool beans. Thanks, guys! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Fox he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Fine with me as well. ('Who's that Fox?') If possible, I'd like to submit this coming Monday (7th March). Chapter one, second draft of The Green Ocean. Feedback for you is on its way, Marci. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk she/her Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sooo... this would be where I slink back in and apologize profusely for my absence, I suppose. In all seriousness, though, folks, I am terribly sorry for going MIA. Excepting a brief stint out of town I can really only chalk it up to what was apparently a VERY extended brain fart. I've been a little more overwhelmed than I realized, apparently. So... um... hi, and so far we have Fantastic Fox for Monday? And yes, we tend to be a little flexible on the word limits, especially on quieter weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a little more overwhelmed than I realized, apparently. Silk! Glad to have you back, and I'm glad to see there wasn't anything too serious going on. We were getting worried about you. If you need help with something, don't be afraid to ask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marci she/her Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Glad to see you back, Silk! (You, too, Fox!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk she/her Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thank you both! Yes, I really am sorry about that. I have no idea how I managed to overlook something like that so completely. And thanks for that, Shrike--I'll be fine, it's mostly just life stuff. Not even bad stuff for the most part, there just seems to always be a LOT of it... Oh and uh, I should perhaps mention that I'll be out of town this afternoon through to Monday again, so when I disappear (for a much shorter time this time!) it's not because I've fallen off a bridge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Fox he/him Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Apologies for my late submission. Got hit with a deluge of editing work (excuses, excuses). Will try and submit tomorrow eve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgorden he/him Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Hi guys! Just checkin' in to say I'm still alive and my book is still alive. Crazy, awesome things are happening IRL, which has been a distraction from writing, but I'll be back in the submission mix before too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdpulfer he/him Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Sorry for the late notice, but would it be possible for me to submit tomorrow? I have a flash fiction I submitted to a contest a few weeks ago, and I just heard the results yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk she/her Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 So we have rdpulfer and two new members submitting tomorrow: Kaisa and EthanBassett. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
